Restrained eating
Restrained eating is the effort to restrict the amount of food ingested, with the goal of losing weight or preventing weight gain.
While temporary diets are a common event in the Western world, restrained eating can be described as “chronic dieters”, of whom display peculiar beliefs and cognitions, which will be addressed in more detail in the video.
