The allure of forbidden food: On the role of attention in self-regulation (2008, methodology): “Based on previous research (Stroebe et al., 2008), we propose that the exposure to food cues disturbs the fragile balance between hedonic food thoughts and the goal of weight control that normally allows restrained eaters to regulate their eating behavior.”
Through the eyes of dieters: Biased size perception of food following tempting food primes (2011, background): “…with this assumption, there is empirical evidence that pre-exposure to tempting food cues does not influence normal eaters’ hedonic thoughts (Papies et al., 2007), accessibility of their dieting goal (e.g., Stroebe et al., 2008) or consumption of palatable food (e.g., Fedoroff et al., 1997).”
