Normative scores for the three factor eating questionnaire (TFEQ-R18) in a UK population-based cohort
Eating behaviour traits (EBTs), individuals' reactions to food, food-related cues, and food intake, play an important role in the development and maintenance of overweight and obesity. We provide population-based norms for cognitive restraint, uncontrolled eating, and emotional eating as measured by the Three Factor Eating questionnaire (short form, TFEQ-18) in a UK cohort of middle-aged adults (the Fenland Study). Participants included 7830 indi…
A realist evaluation of social care practitioners’ experiences with and understanding of applied healthcare research
Social care practitioners are often under-represented in research activity and output. This article presents findings from a National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) funded realist evaluation to understand and explain how, why, for whom, and in what contexts mental health social care practitioners engage with research. The study uses a current NIHR-funded study—REalist Synthesis Of non-pharmacologicaL interVEntions for antipsychotic…
An individual participant data meta-analysis investigating the mediating role of eating behavior traits in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-based weight management interventions
The impact of behavioural weight management interventions on eating behaviour traits in adults with overweight or obesity
The impact of behavioural weight management interventions on eating behaviour traits in children with overweight or obesity
A Realist Evaluation of Social Care Practitioners’ Experiences With and Understanding of Applied Healthcare Research
Social care practitioners are often under-represented in research activity and output. Evidence-based practice enables social care practitioners to develop/engage the skills to evaluate evidence and be more actively involved in research. REalist Synthesis Of non-pharmacologicaL interVEntions for antipsychotic-induced weight gain (RESOLVE) is a NIHR-funded study where realist synthesis is used to understand and explain how, why, for whom, and in w…
Experiences of emotional eating during an acceptance and commitment therapy based intervention to support weight loss maintenance (SWiM)
Think yourself thin? Acceptability and feasibility of using memory as a weight loss intervention
Imagine this
Remembering a recent meal reduces subsequent intake of palatable snacks (i.e. the meal-recall effect), however, little is known about the factors which can potentiate this effect. The present experiment investigated whether a stronger meal-recall effect would be observed if recent consumption would be recalled in greater detail, than if it was recalled briefly. Moreover, it was investigated whether imagining a meal as bigger and more satiating th…

The role of memory ability, depth and mode of recall in the impact of memory on later consumption
It has been shown that recalling a meal eaten a few hours earlier (vs. the previous day) leads to reduced snacking (‘meal-recall’ effect). This study attempted to replicate this effect, by assessing participants' (N = 77, mean age = 33.30 [SD = 14.98], mean BMI = 23.77 [SD = 3.72], 74% female) biscuit consumption during a bogus taste test in two separate sessions, before which participants recalled a recent or a distant meal. It was explored whet…
