RRs = Rapid Responders; Non-RRs = Non-Rapid Responders. No significant differences of p < .05; EDE = Eating Disorder Examination; TFEQ = Three Factor Eating Questionnaire;
a
Two participants did not complete the baseline TFEQ. Thus total N = 99 for TFEQ (RRs = 40 and non-RRs = 59); BDI = Beck Depression Inventory.
