Psychological explanations for the success & failure of dieting
Restraint Theory
Try to restrain / restrict food intake
Chances are - end up overeating
Homeostasis - Hypothalamus (balances the body)
Physiological boundary for eating
AO2 - Implication for treatment of obesity
Boundary Model
Normal eater - level of hunger and satiety
Restrained eater - Has a satiety level and a hunger level
Hunger level more restricted, due to the diet boundary placed
Takes longer to get hungry
Takes more to make you feel satieted
Dieters use self - imposed cognitive diet boundary
Stretch the physiological boundary
AO2 - Wardle & Beales (1988)
27 obese women in 3 conditions
Given taste test of milkshake (preload)
Either no pre - load /1 milkshake / 2 milkshakes
Q on restrained eating
Following pre - load - taste test of 3 tubs of icecream, told they could eat as much as they liked
Those who scored high on restrained eating Q ate more ice - cream if they had pre - load
Those who were'normal' eaters ate less ice - cream if they had pre- - load
Restrained eaters went over their cognitive diet boundary due to the high carb pre - load
Unrestrained eaters only eat until satisfied - felt fuller after the pre - load
Denial
Suppress thoughts of certain foods leads to wanted them more
Theory of ironic processes of mental control
Wegner et al (1987)
Ppts who were asked not to think of a white polar bear thought of it more then ppts allowed to think of the white polar bear

Not salads again!
Think about the different parts of the food you are eating
I.e. Baby tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce etc, etc.
