The study investigated the eating lifestyles of female consumers and whether they influenced weight control behavior. The findings of the study can be summarized as follows. First, the eating lifestyles of the subjects were presented four types: ’active eating life pursuit type’, ’safe economical type’, ’gourmet type’ and ’passive negligence type’. In general, most cases were of the ’passive negligence type’. Second, weight control behavior was analyzed according to eating lifestyle. The results of the analysis indicated that the female consumers of the ’active eating life pursuit type’ and ’safe economy type’ had high behavior levels in each aspect of weight control attitude, subjective regulation, perceived behavior control, and behavior intention. Third, the ’gourmet type’, with a strong preference for taste, and the ’passive negligence type’, with fewer eating considerations in general, showed weaker attitudes towards weight control and the recognition of pressure from people around them. As such, the level of consideration for food or eating was correlated with weight control. These findings impliedy that the more active, safer, and economical women are in their general eating style, the stronger they perceive weight control issues.
