Exposing the Diet Myth: Diets Make You Eat Less

Research in the area of dieting and eating behaviour reveals a great discrepancy between
what people think dieters do and what dieters actually do. Most people think that dieting
is a simple process, and in theory it is. To lose weight, you simply have to eat less.
However, in reality, dieting is not a simple task and much of the time dieters do not eat
less than do non-dieters. This article debunks the myth that dieters actually eat less than
do non-dieters by reviewing the evidence comparing the eating behaviours of dieters and
non-dieters, and in particular what triggers episodes of overeating in dieters.
