Q

A

Deliberate reduction in food intake to maintain or loose weight
Dieters . - takes them longer to feel full as they have a great range between hunger and satiety
They usually stay under a strict limit, however when they increase ther food intake they have to eat more than others to feel full, reasulting in overall weight gain.
Reasons to go over boundary (disinhibition, ‘what the hell’ mentality) include:
- Large portion size, stress, emotions, high energy preload

61
Q

What is the goal conflict model?

A

a social cognitive theory that attributes the difficulty of chronic dieters to a conflict between two incompatible goals: eating enjoyment and weight control. Although chronic dieters are motivated to pursue their weight control goal, most fail in food-rich environments: Surrounded by palatable food cues that activate thoughts of eating enjoyment, incompatible weight control thoughts are inhibited and weight control intentions are “forgotten”. For successful dieters - probably due to past success in exerting self-control - tasty high-calorie food has become associated with weight control thoughts. For them, exposure to palatable food makes weight control thoughts more accessible, enabling them to control their body weight in food-rich environments

62
Q

What is the externality theory?

A

Overweight individuals eat according to external cues, time of day, sensory cues, whereas leener individuals repsond to internal cues –> however this is a very general statement
