assigned 27 obese women to one of 3 groups (diet/exercise/control). They assessed food intake and appetite and found that women in the diet group ate more.
points out that the behaviour of restricting anorexics cannot be explained using this theory. If restriction of diet results in overeating, how do anorexics manage to starve themselves?
found that hunger keeps food intake below a certain minimum, and saiety keeps intake below some maximum level. Dieters have a larger range between hunger and saiety. This means that it takes them longer to feel hungry but longer to feel full
