- Wardle and Beales - 27 obese women to a diet group / exercise group / non-treatment group for 7 weeks. = Week 4 --> food intake assessed before/after preload. Week 6 --> food intake assessed under stressful conditions. = Women in diet conditions ate more than other groups.
- Ogden - Anorexics bulimic and dieters report episodes of over eating,but if this is the case, how do anorexics manage to starve themselves. The restraint theory can't explain this.

- Cultural Bias - Some cultural groups find it harder to diet due to a natural tendency to be obese. Evidence that Asian children have a more central fat mass compared to European groups (Misra et al)
