Cognitive restriction and obesity

Since that was discussed in another thread, here are some pointers (most of
my material being in French ) to psychological studies on that subject
[note: restrained almost always mean cognitive restriction here] :

* Link between weight-reduction efforts and obesity :
Naturalistic Weight-Reduction Efforts Prospectively Predict Growth in
Relative Weight and Onset of Obesity Among Female Adolescents
ABSTRACT
This study examined the prospective relations of naturalistic
weight-reduction efforts to growth in relative weight and onset of obesity
with data from a community study of female adolescents ( N = 692). Initial
self-labeled dieting, appetite suppressant/laxative use, incidental
exercise, vomiting for weight-control purposes, and binge eating predicted
elevated growth in relative weight over the 4-year period. Dietary
restraint, self-labeled dieting, exercise for weight-control purposes, and
appetite suppressant/laxative use predicted an increased risk for obesity
onset. Data imply that the weight-reduction efforts reported by adolescents
are more likely to result in weight gain than in weight loss and suggest the
need to educate youth on more effective weight-control strategies.

* This one is interresting, because it hints that it is possible to restore
some self-regulation in restrained people, making them react in a normal
fashion to a preload before a meal (i.e., reducing the meal size).
