Summary
This study tested a 3-lesson nutrition curriculum called 'Let's Eat' in middle schools. The program focuses on eating based on internal cues, pleasure, and community, rather than dieting. Researchers wanted to see if students and teachers found it acceptable and if it could improve intuitive eating, body acceptance, and well-being. The study involved 138 students aged 11-14 in Portland public schools.
