Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is investigating the relationship between exercise and appetite in women who experience loss of control eating — a pattern where a person feels unable to stop eating even when not hungry — to understand whether exercise can help regulate eating behaviour. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a woman who has experienced loss of control eating at least 12 times in the past three months - Your eating disorder symptoms are causing clinically significant distress or impairment - You are currently taking hormonal contraception - Your aerobic fitness level is at or above average for your age - You are willing to eat study-provided foods during the study - You enjoy chocolate (rating at least 6 out of 10) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your BMI is below 18.5 - You have a medical condition that affects appetite or weight (such as diabetes or thyroid disease) - You have been pregnant or breastfeeding in the past 6 months - You have food allergies relevant to the study (e.g., wheat or chocolate) - You have a needle/blood phobia - You have a medical condition that makes exercise unsafe (such as a stress fracture) - You take medications that acutely affect appetite (such as GLP-1 agonists) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
