Koncepcje wyjaśniające znaczenie świadomości odczuć cielesnych w profilaktyce i terapii otyłości

The paper examines three theoretical models that form the basis for programs designed for prevention and treatment of obesity. These models emphasize the importance of deepening sensitivity to bodily sensations. The first of them is the „intuitive eating”. The second one presented here is a model of „metabolic learning” based on the theory of „selfish brain.” The third approach includes a group of interventions based on the idea of mindfulness. Analysis of the three selected concepts serves to explain the importance of interceptive sensitivity for the normalization of the eating process, presentation of methods of work in this area and their average efficiency.
