The effects of resolving to diet on restrained and unrestrained eaters: The 'false hope syndrome'
Article Abstract:
A 2-week Canadian study of 80 women students, involving dieters, women who aimed to increase time for studying, and a control group, looked at the impact of making a resolution to change. Those who were new to dieting immediately felt better about themselves, although this feeling gradually diminished. Those who had tried to lose weight in the past were not so full of self-esteem and tended to have higher expectations, but still failed. All were keen to give up dieting at the first opportunity.
