First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a 3-lesson nutrition program called 'Let's Eat' in middle schools. The program focuses on flexible eating based on internal cues, not dieting. Researchers wanted to see if students and teachers liked it, if it was easy to deliver, and if it improved eating habits and body acceptance. 138 students aged 11-14 took part.
