The primary outcome of the study is IE. It was assessed through the Intuitive Eating Scale 2 (IES-2) embedded in the surveys. It is a 23-item, 5-point Likert self-reported scale used to assess the eating habits of individuals over the past month. It is composed of four subscales: the unconditional permission to eat, eating for physical rather than emotional reasons, dependence on hunger and satiety cues and body-food congruenceThe baseline survey included socio-demographic questions (age, gender, nationality, place of residence, level of education and monthly income). In addition, it included self-reported weight and height that were used to calculate the BMI. The follow-up surveys included only the anthropometric variables (weight and height) and the monthly income.
