A tendency to excessively limit or control your food intake.

Your moderate score describes a tendency to limit or control your eating (skipping meals, cutting portions, following strict rules). It matters to approach this topic gently and without judgment: our relationship with food is complex and touches on the intimate. One way of reading it — to weigh against your own experience and in light of your higher score on body image — is that restriction might partly serve a need for control or a body dissatisfaction, more than a simple health concern. The documented point to watch is that restriction can paradoxically encourage episodes of loss of control around food (the body and mind reacting to deprivation), setting up a restriction-bingeing cycle. This test cannot assess nutritional or health stakes: if restriction is significant or a source of distress, a medical and psychological opinion is truly recommended, without delay.

Episodes of loss of control around food, binge-eating episodes.

This moderate score describes episodes of eating experienced as uncontrollable (eating a lot, fast, without hunger, with a sense of losing control). Without judgment, these episodes very often have an emotion-regulation function: they arise in response to a difficult emotion (stress, sadness, emptiness, anxiety) and bring brief relief, frequently followed by guilt. One avenue — to weigh against your own experience — is that these binges might be linked to your restriction dimension (the deprivation → loss of control cycle is very well documented) and/or to a difficulty with emotional regulation. It is essential to understand that these episodes do not reflect a lack of willpower but a mechanism: that is why effective approaches do not aim to 'control yourself more' but to regularise eating and address the emotional function. Professional support is particularly indicated here.

Perception of and satisfaction with your body and appearance.

Your high score describes a marked dissatisfaction with your body, a significant preoccupation with weight or appearance, and possibly a distortion between how you perceive your body and reality. This is often the central engine of eating difficulties: body dissatisfaction can fuel restriction (controlling the body), binges (then guilt reinforces the dissatisfaction) and compensatory behaviours. One way of reading it — to weigh against your own experience — is that your sense of personal worth may have become too dependent on appearance or weight, which makes self-esteem vulnerable and keeps the preoccupation alive. It matters to recall, with kindness, that the image we hold of our body can be deeply distorted by these mechanisms, and that it reflects neither reality nor the person's worth. Working on body image and self-esteem — ideally with a professional — is central, because it is often the common root.

Behaviours aimed at compensating for calorie intake (excessive exercise, purging, fasting).

This moderate score describes the possible presence of behaviours aimed at 'compensating' for food intake (excessive physical activity, fasting, or other conduct). This topic deserves particular attention, because some compensatory behaviours can carry health risks. Without judgment, these behaviours generally fit into the cycle described by the other dimensions: they aim to reduce the guilt or anxiety tied to food and body image. One avenue — to weigh against your own experience — is that they help maintain the disorder by reinforcing the centrality of controlling weight and shape. It matters to stress, with kindness: if compensatory behaviours (especially purging conduct or intense compulsive exercise) are present, a medical opinion is important to assess any health effects, without delay and without judgment. This questionnaire cannot assess those risks.
