Leptin Hypothesis:
- ignores psychological factors (reductionist)
- no room for free will = deterministic
Psychological Factors:
- ignores biological factors (also reductionist)
- operant conditioning doesn't explain why we might regain weight after diet being so rewarding
- idea of mindset & operant conditioning = fairly deterministic
Restraint Theory/Boundary Model:
- doesn't account for any contributing biological factors
- judgement of restrained/unrestrained eaters based on questionnaire = open to social desirability bias
