Changes to Weight Bias Internalization and Eating Behaviors in Adults Aged 50+ With Overweight or Obesity During a Structured 12‐Week Behavioral Weight Management Intervention
These findings suggest that participating in a structured behavioral weight loss program may have beneficial effects on weight bias, body shape concern, and binge eating, consistent with previous findings in weight management interventions in younger populations. Future work is needed to determine if changes to weight bias internalization and eating behaviors persist during weight loss maintenance.
