Why we cite it
Normal-weight subjects were separated into high- and low-restraint groups and given preloads of varying size; high-restraint intake rose with preload size while low-restraint intake fell — the counter-regulation effect. The authors concluded that relative deprivation rather than obesity per se may be the critical determinant of individual differences in eating behaviour, and named “restraint” as the mechanism. 627 citations (Europe PMC, 2026-08-31).
