Dietary restraint--a useful concept?
1990
McClusky, S.E.
Tuschl (1990) stresses the urgent need for the subclassification of restrained eaters. This view is supported not only by the fact that not all restrained eaters exhibit counteregulation in the laboratory, but also by the fact that bulimic and non bulimic restrained eaters differ on other parameters. Rossiter et al. (1989) found these two groups were equally dissatisfied with their weights, preoccupied by food, restrained in their eating and dissatisfied with their bodies but bulimic restrained eaters were more depressed, psychologically distressed and poorer in self esteem. It was impossible in this study to tell result from cause in the development of bulimia. A subclassification of restrained eaters may help to elucidate differences between restrained eaters who are able to maintain control and those who develop bulimia.
