| Non-Diet Nutrition Education Program | Behavioral | The intervention is an 8-week online nutrition education program based on non-diet approaches, including intuitive eating, rejecting diet mentality, honoring hunger, body acceptance, and well-being. Each weekly session is 60 minutes long and involves interactive discussions and home practices. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Eating Behavior | Assessed using the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ): 33 items with three subscales (Restrained Eating, Emotional Eating, External Eating), rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = never, 5 = very often). Higher subscale scores indicate greater tendency toward that eating behavior. | Baseline and 8 weeks after intervention |
| Food Choice Motivation | Assessed using the Food Choice Questionnaire (FCQ): 36 items, 9 subscales (Health, Mood, Convenience, Sensory Appeal, Natural Content, Price, Weight Control, Familiarity, Ethical Concern), rated on a 4-point Likert scale (1 = not at all important, 4 = very important). Higher scores indicate greater importance assigned to that factor in food choice. | Baseline and 8 weeks after intervention |
| Intuitive Eating | Assessed using the Intuitive Eating Scale-2 (IES-2): 23 items, 4 subscales (Unconditional Permission to Eat, Eating for Physical Rather Than Emotional Reasons, Reliance on Hunger and Satiety Cues, Body-Food Choice Congruence), rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree, 5 = strongly agree). Higher scores reflect more intuitive eating. | Baseline and 8 weeks after intervention |
| Body Appreciation | Assessed using the Body Appreciation Scale (BAS): 9 items, no subscales, rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = never, 5 = always). Higher scores indicate greater body appreciation. | Baseline and 8 weeks after intervention |
| Body Dissatisfaction | Assessed using the Stunkard Figure Rating Scale: visual selection of perceived vs. ideal body silhouette (1-9 scale). Body dissatisfaction is calculated as the difference between the actual and ideal figure selections. | Baseline and 8 weeks after intervention |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Dietary Intake | Description: Assessed via 3-day food record (2 weekdays and 1 weekend day). Food items are recorded by participants using visual portion guides. Analysis performed using eBebis (Turkish Nutrition Database software). Unit of Measure:

| Well-Being | Assessed using the WHO-5 Well-Being Index: 5 items, no subscales, scored 0-5 (0 = at no time, 5 = all the time); raw scores are converted to a 0-100 scale. Higher scores indicate better well-being. | Baseline and 8 weeks after intervention |
