This is especially important to note in teh context of a 'free meal' or 'free day', where people (yaay o2) restrict normally for 6 days and then go hog mental on all of the food they didnt eat for the week, and the end result in no change, or an increase. So they decrease food intake more, to just go more mental at the other end.
More common in women than men. But I think some of the aspects of a freeday/cheatday etc can have negative programming effects on how food is seen as well. Aiding to enforce that "all or nothing" concept a bit further into routine thought. Models of behaviour change don't always have to be around setting good behaviours...
