Intuitive eating, cognitive dissonance-based group treatment, mindfulness, and yoga have all been studied for preventing or reducing disordered eating behaviors, with varying efficacy. Intuitive eating and cognitive dissonance-based interventions appear to be the most effective ways to prevent or reduce disordered eating behaviors.[1][2][3]
Mindfulness shows some promise for reducing certain disordered eating behaviors in adults, but it may not be appropriate for adolescents.[4][5] Based on the limited amount of research, yoga can lead to a more positive mood, but it doesn’t appear to improve risk factors for disordered eating.[6]
Other interventions aimed at improving body image — such as body appreciation and education on social media usage — may also help to prevent disordered eating behaviors.[3][7]
