Summary

Pregnancy is a time of heightened risk for disordered eating behaviors, which have been linked to adverse health outcomes in gestation, delivery, and the postpartum. These adverse outcomes may at least in part be mediated by greater risk of deviation from recommended gestational weight gain trajectories, especially in those engaged in binge and loss of control eating. This study will explore the efficacy of a single-session, self-guided online acceptance-based intervention targeting food cravings as powerful and modifiable predictors of binge and LOC eating in pregnancy.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Single-session acceptance-based online workshop targeting food cravings as predictors of loss of control and binge eating in pregnancy

Participants in the intervention will learn acceptance-based strategies for reducing the adverse impact of food cravings on eating behaviors. Unlike control-based strategies, acceptance-based strategies do not attempt to change the content or frequency of thoughts; rather, they foster willingness to acknowledge and experience uncontrollable thoughts, urges, and emotions as what they are - nothing more, nothing less. Acceptance-based approaches have demonstrated efficacy in reducing the adverse impact of food cravings on eating behaviors in non-pregnant samples.
