Restraint, dieting and watching what you eat amongst female students (2005)
Journal Article
Reid, M., Hammersley, R., & Rance, J. (2005). Restraint, dieting and watching what you eat amongst female students. Nutrition Bulletin, 30(2), 120-125. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-3010.2005.00483.x

'Watching what you eat' has been proposed as an activity distinct from dieting (Nichter et al. 1995), although the two are often conflated in nutritional surveys. This study examined the validity of 'watching' by relating it to the psychological trai... Read More about Restraint, dieting and watching what you eat amongst female students.
