A weight-inclusive approach to health involves the promotion of intuitive eating, i.e., individual’s ability be aware their physiological hunger and satiety cues determine when how much eat, while paying attention certain foods affect body. The second version Intuitive Eating Scale (IES-2) evaluates four interrelated traits eating: Unconditional Permission Eat (UPE), for Physical rather than emotional Reasons (EPR), Reliance on internal Hunger/Satiety Cues (RHSC), Body–Food Choice Congruence (BFCC). In this study, our aim was evaluate psychometric properties a Mexican Spanish adaptation IES-2 pregnant women examine relationship between eating maternal sociodemographic characteristics. sample 514 answered questionnaire.

Both subscales, Negative Comparison (α .96) Addictive Consequences .92), demonstrated excellent reliability. Additionally, measurement invariance was verified males females at configural, metric scalar levels. No significant difference found terms SNS-NSC (20.75 ± 10.15 vs 21.09 9.51; t(377) -.32; p .751) SNS-ARC (19.08 8.61 19.76 6.77; -.79; .430). subscale more correlated than (r .73; < .001 r .54; .001) whereas both subscales significantly associated stress loneliness.The data collected provided support all hypotheses formulated.
