Body fat percentage was measured using Dual-energy X-Ray absorptiometry (DXA).

2

Measured using the restraint subscale from the DEBQ

Measured using the disinhibition subscale from the DEBQ)

4

Measured using the Weight Concerns Scale

5

Measured using the Dieting subscale on the EAT

6

Measured using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale

7

Measured using the CES-D

8

Measured using the Binge Eating Scale
