In this study, a literature review was conducted to examine body appreciation in relation to intuitive eating and gratitude in women and men, adolescents and adults. Articles published between September 2010 and October 2021 were identified using the keywords body appreciation, intuitive eating and gratitude, written in English and Spanish. The search was performed in PubMed, ProQuest Central, EBSCO and Web of Science databases. Studies were included if they were empirical, published in scientific journals, written in English or Spanish, and evaluated the relationship between body appreciation, intuitive eating, and gratitude by sex. Thirty-one cross-sectional and one longitudinal study met the eligibility criteria and were mostly conducted in North America. The relationship between gratitude, body appreciation and intuitive eating was positive and significant in both men and women, adolescents and adults. Furthermore, gratitude predicts body appreciation, which in turn mediates the relationship between gratitude and intuitive eating, in women. This study provided valuable insights into the importance of being grateful in developing and/or maintaining positive body image and adaptive eating habits. This finding is important, because gratitude can be modified through therapeutic interventions.
