- Failure of Dieting
- When dieting, we set a COGNITIVE limit
- Therefore dieters, have two boundaries, physiological and cognitive.
- They will eat until their cognitive boundry
- If they eat within the cognitive boundary they reduce calories and maintain successful weight loss
- This prevents them from dis-inhibited eating
- If they eat within the cognitive boundary they reduce calories and maintain successful weight loss
- They will eat until their cognitive boundry
- Therefore dieters, have two boundaries, physiological and cognitive.
- Contradictory evidence by Herman and Mack
- Gave a group of dieters and non dieters either a low or high calorie pre load
- non dieters
- Ate less after having a high calorie preload
- dieters
- ate more after a high calorie preload than a low calorie preload
- Experienced the what the hell effect
- non dieters
- Gave a group of dieters and non dieters either a low or high calorie pre load
- Most research carried out in a lab/controlled conditions
- allows a cause and effect to be established
- high reliability and validity
- low levels of ecological validity due to artificial conditions
- hard to generalise what dieting in the real world is like
- Supporting Evidence by Laessle
- Vegetarians manage to abstain from eating meat
- Further Evidence is anorexics, who eat within cognitive boundries
- found that some dieters can reduce intake by 400 kcal's less than unrestrained eaters
- She found they eat less food high in carbohydrates and fat
- A holistic approach is the best
- shows the interaction between psychological and physiological processes
- When dieting, we set a COGNITIVE limit
