Summary

The investigators have developed a new integrated therapy, namely a Healthy Approach to weIght management and Food in Eating Disorders (HAPIFED). HAPIFED is an enhanced behavioral weight loss therapy integrated with CBT for the management of EDs. HAPIFED uses CBT to treat ED behaviors and body image distress, whilst simultaneously emphasize a healthy lifestyle, the role of food and physical activity in mood regulation, and revised but clinically meaningful goals for weight loss. The investigators propose a randomized controlled trial (RCT) that will compare HAPIFED to CBT-E in people with obesity and either BN or BED. The two main aims will be to reduce symptoms of ED and to improve weight management. The RCT will be conducted in Sydney and in São Paulo with a one year follow-up.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

HAPIFED

HAPIFED is adapted from CBT to promote a positive relationship with food, eating and activity, appetite awareness, and weight loss to be achieved over a longer and more intensive period of therapy, thus recognizing the importance of longer-term therapy in weight loss (Casazza et al., 2013). Notably, HAPIFED is also multidisciplinary. Clinical practice and consensus views are to utilize the special expertise of dietitians and other allied health professionals (Robinson, 2009).
