  • Title: Unintentional eating. What determines goal-incongruent chocolate consumption?
    Author: Allan JL, Johnston M, Campbell N.
    Journal: Appetite; 2010 Apr; 54(2):422-5. PubMed ID: 20100530.
    Abstract:
    Overeating can be automatically triggered by the presence of palatable food. When presented with an opportunity to consume unlimited chocolate under the guise of a consumer study, chocolate consumption in individuals (n=62) with healthy dietary intentions could be predicted from a psychological measure of cognitive inhibition. Individuals who were less able to suppress goal-incongruent responses in an established inhibitory task: (a) ate more chocolate and (b) had a higher body mass index than others suggesting that these individuals were less able to exert dietary control in the presence of palatable but intention-incongruent foods.
