  • Title: Dietary restraint moderates the effects of food exposure on women's body and weight satisfaction.
    Author: Geschwind N, Roefs A, Lattimore P, Fett AK, Jansen A.
    Journal: Appetite; 2008 Nov; 51(3):735-8. PubMed ID: 18584913.
    Abstract:
    The influence of dietary restraint and food exposure on body satisfaction was tested. Body and weight satisfaction were measured before and after exposure to either high- or low-caloric food, without actual eating. Independent of caloric condition, higher dietary restraint was associated with a decrease in body satisfaction after food exposure. With regard to weight satisfaction, however, the association between higher dietary restraint and decreased weight satisfaction was specific for the high-caloric condition. Thus, the actual eating of food is not necessary for decreased body and weight satisfaction to occur, suggesting an exposure-induced activation of dysfunctional cognitions in restrained eaters.
