Intuitive Eating Scale-2 (IES-2)

The Intuitive Eating Scale-2 is a 23-item self-report instrument designed to measure intuitive eating, a non-restrictive, non-prescriptive eating approach that emphasizes internal hunger and satiety cues, unconditional permission to eat, and body attunement. Developed by Tylka and Kroon Van Diest in 2013, the IES-2 builds on the original Intuitive Eating Scale and has become a standard measure in research examining health-at-every-size, eating disorder recovery, and alternatives to restrictive dieting. It is widely used in clinical research and eating behavior studies.
