Resumo: Chronic stress may change eating behavior and thus play a role in the development of obesity. Recent research targeting obesity prevention has evaluated meditation as a resource for regulating emotion. In this literature review, 20 studies conducted in the last decade, concerning the topics of overweight and obese population that used different types of meditation were examined. These articles were focused on changes in weight, eating behavior and psychological factors. The results showed that meditation reduced stress and promoted positive changes in eating behavior that help the individual to lose weight. However, the body of evidence as regards the effect on weight are still not conclusive and further research is necessary.Keywords: Eating Behavior. HPA axis. Stress. Meditation. Obesity.
Resumo: O estresse crônico pode alterar o comportamento alimentar e, assim, desempenhar um papel no desenvolvimento da obesidade. Pesquisas recentes voltadas para a prevenção da obesidade avaliaram a meditação como um recurso para regular a emoção. Nesta revisão de literatura, foram examinados 20 estudos realizados na última década, sobre os temas da população com sobrepeso e obesidade que utilizaram diferentes tipos de meditação. Esses artigos foram focados em mudanças de peso, comportamento alimentar e fatores psicológicos. Os resultados mostraram que a meditação reduziu o estresse e promoveu mudanças positivas no comportamento alimentar que ajudam o indivíduo a perder peso. No entanto, o corpo de evidências em relação ao efeito sobre o peso ainda não é conclusivo e mais pesquisas são necessárias.
