Undergraduate thesis exploring intuitive eating. Dietary restraint can cause problems for all age groups, but may be particularly difficult for children and early adolescents because of pressure and critical messages they receive from parents regarding the restriction of food intake (Kroons, Van Diest, & Tylka, 2010).

Further, to determine if such disruptions were associated with dieting and not another accepted form of weight management, specifically increases in cardiorespiratory activities, relation to intuitive eating was examined as well.
