Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we diet: Effects of anticipated deprivation on food intake in restrained and unrestrained eaters.

Abstract

This study examined the effect of anticipated food deprivation on intake in restrained and unrestrained eaters. Participants were randomly assigned to a diet condition, in which they expected to diet for a week, or to a control (no-diet) condition. Immediately after being assigned to a condition, participants completed a taste-rating task in which food consumption was measured. Restrained eaters in the diet condition consumed significantly more food than did restrained eaters in the no-diet condition or unrestrained eaters in either condition. Unrestrained eaters consumed the same amount regardless of condition. These results confirm that merely planning to go on a diet can trigger overeating in restrained eaters, reflecting the dynamic connection between dieting and overeating.There seems to be a general consensus in the literature that dieting contributes to binge eating

Food Insecurity is Associated with Diabetes Mellitus: Results from the National Health Examination and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999–2002

“…2,35,36 Individuals with episodic underconsumption may overcompensate during times of relative food adequacy resulting in binge-fast cycles. 37,38 This pattern of dietary intake has also been linked to insulin resistance. [39][40][41] Our evidence suggests that the relationship between food insecurity and diabetes differs from the relationship between food insecurity and obesity.…”

Exposure to slim images in mass media: Television commercials as reminders of restriction in restrained eaters.

“…Because food intake may also be affected by a state of deprivation (e.g., Polivy, Coleman, & Herman, 2005;Urbszat, Herman, & Polivy, 2002), we controlled for individual differences in hunger by presenting the participants with a VAS to measure the extent to which the participants felt hungry or satisfied before the experiment.…”

Se restreindre dans un environnement d’abondance alimentaire. Les effets des stimuli alimentaires sur la consommation et le poids

“…Le fait de leur annoncer, par exemple, qu'ils se suralimenteront plus tard déclenche la même désinhibition qu'après la consommation d'une précharge supposée faire grossir. (Les personnes adeptes des régimes se suralimentent même si elles se disent qu'elles vont bientôt se mettre au régime [12]). On voit ainsi que les pensées, ou cognitions, autour de l'alimentation influencent la prise alimentaire de la même façon que le font les aliments effectivement consommés [13,14].…”
