Abstract

Obesity care may benefit from precision approaches, matching patients to treatment types based on their individual characteristics, including eating behaviour traits (EBTs) like emotional eating, uncontrolled eating, external eating, internal disinhibition and restraint. Initial evidence suggests that Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)-based interventions might address dysregulated EBTs more effectively than standard behavioural treatments. However, it is unclear if ACT is more effective for certain EBT levels.
