Food-level predictors of self-reported liking and hedonic overeating
Exercise and eating motivation in weight loss maintenance
OBJECTIVE: Physical activity and nutrition-related behaviors are crucial factors in maintaining weight loss. The interplay between the motivations to consistently engage in both behaviors is a fundamental yet understudied topic. The current study examines the reciprocal effects between exercise and eating motivation and their effect on steps and energy intake over a 12-month period. METHODS: Data were gathered from 678 NoHoW participants (a weigh…
Consumption of foods with the highest nutritional quality, and the lowest greenhouse gas emissions and price, differs between socio-economic groups in the UK population
Objective: To establish a baseline understanding of whether consuming food with the highest nutritional quality, lowest greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) and cost differs between different UK demographic and socio-economic population groups. Design: Multiple linear regression models were fitted to evaluate the relationship between predictor socio-demographic variables in this study (i.e. sex, ethnic group, age, BMI and level of deprivation) and the…
Exploratory analysis of reflective, reactive, and homeostatic eating behaviour traits on weight change during the 18-month NoHoW weight maintenance trial
Behaviour change interventions for weight management have found varied effect sizes and frequent weight re-gain after weight loss. There is interest in exploring whether differences in eating behaviour can be used to develop tailored weight management programs. This secondary analysis of an 18-month weight maintenance randomised controlled trial (RCT) aimed to investigate the association between individual variability in weight maintenance succes…
Nutritional Quality, Environmental Impact and Cost of Ultra-Processed Foods
Food-based analyses of the healthiness, environmental sustainability and affordability of processed and ultra-processed foods are lacking. This paper aimed to determine how ultra-processed and processed foods compare to fresh and minimally processed foods in relation to nutritional quality, greenhouse gas emissions and cost on the food and food group level. Data from the National Diet and Nutrition Survey nutrient databank year 11 (2018/2019) wer…
Modelling population responses to workplace minimum dietary standards introduced as workers return after social lockdowns
These model results illustrate the qualitative impact social connectivity could have on changing diets through interventions. Norms can be changed more in a more connected population, and social interactions spread norms between contexts and amplified the influence of, for example, workplace minimum standards beyond those directly exposed. However, implementation of minimum standards in a single type of setting would not reach the whole populatio…
Effect of adding a compassion-focused intervention on emotion, eating and weight outcomes in a commercial weight management programme
This study examined whether adding a compassion-focused light touch digital intervention into a commercial multicomponent weight management programme improved eating behaviour, self-evaluation and weight-related outcomes. The compassion intervention significantly reduced binge eating symptomatology and dropout, and improved psychological adjustment and self-evaluation, but did not affect weight outcomes. Compassion, self-reassurance and reduction…
Amplification without the event
The social amplification of risk framework typically represents consequential effects associated with high levels of media attention proceeding from an initial risk event. This study considers selective meat-eating as risk-related social behaviour that is evidently not initiated by a single event yet, nevertheless, is demonstrably subject to extensive and broad-based media coverage. Recent reported trends indicate a rise in so-called ‘flexitarian…
An Agent-Based Model to Simulate Meat Consumption Behaviour of Consumers in Britain
The current rate of production and consumption of meat poses a problem both to peoples' health and to the environment. This work aims to develop a simulation of peoples' meat consumption in Britain using agent-based modelling. The agents represent individual consumers. The key variables that characterise agents include sex, age, monthly income, perception of the living cost, and concerns about the impact of meat on the environment, health, and an…
Healthy and sustainable diets that meet greenhouse gas emission reduction targets and are affordable for different income groups in the UK
Objective To model dietary changes required to shift the UK population to diets that meet dietary recommendations for health, have lower greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) and are affordable for different income groups. Design Linear programming was used to create diets that meet dietary requirements for health and reduced GHGE (57 and 80 % targets) by income quintile, taking account of food budgets and foods currently purchased, thereby keeping die…
Association between hours worked in paid employment and diet quality, frequency of eating out and consuming takeaways in the UK
Objective: To examine associations between hours worked and diet quality, frequency of eating out and consuming takeaways. Design: Data were taken from the National Diet and Nutrition Survey (2008–2014). Associations between hours worked in paid employment and diet quality, assessed using the Diet Quality Index (DQI) and selected foods and nutrients, were tested using linear regression models. Associations between hours worked and frequency of ea…
Social, temporal and situational influences on meat consumption in the UK population
A spontaneous binge-like eating model in mice using unpredictable once weekly access to palatable diets
The potential impact of compositional changes in farmed fish on its health-giving properties
Assessment of national dietary guidelines in a number of European countries reveals that some are based on cohort studies, focusing on total seafood consumption, while others are based on the content of EPA and DHA, distinguishing between oily and other fish. The mean actual intake of fish in most countries is around or below the recommended intake, with differences in intake of fish being present between sex and age groups. Many people do not re…
Buying less and wasting less food. Changes in household food energy purchases, energy intakes and energy density between 2007 and 2012 with and without adjustment for food waste
Objective Consumers in the UK responded to the rapid increases in food prices between 2007 and 2009 partly by reducing the amount of food energy bought. Household food and drink waste has also decreased since 2007. The present study explored the combined effects of reductions in food purchases and waste on estimated food energy intakes and dietary energy density. Design The amount of food energy purchased per adult equivalent was calculated from …
Weight outcomes audit in 1.3 million adults during their first 3 months’ attendance in a commercial weight management programme
A large-scale commercial lifestyle-based weight management programme had a significant impact on weight loss outcomes over 3 months. Higher levels of attendance led to levels of weight loss known to be associated with significant clinical benefits, which on this scale may have an impact on public health

Evaluating energy intake measurement in free-living subjects
Objective To nutritionally analyse mean energy intake (EI) from different 3 d intervals within a 7 d recording period and to evaluate the seasonal effect on energy and nutrient intake. Design Cross-sectional study of dietary intake collected with 7 d food diaries. Setting Aberdeen, north-east Scotland, UK, between 2002 and 2004. Subjects Participants from two long-term trials were pooled. These trials, investigating genetic and environmental infl…
