Abstract

Appetite is a biologically driven process expressed in a socio-cultural environment, though it is seldom measured within naturalistic settings. Previous investigations of appetitive responses to manipulations of energy balance suffer from various limitations: i) Laboratorybased environments constrain eating behaviour; ii) Retrospective recall methods are influenced by recall biases. These limit the ability to understand the role of momentary fluctuations in appetite in determining eating behaviour for individuals engaging in dieting within the real-world where barriers to successful weight control are encountered. This thesis uses Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) to examine the relationship between energy restriction (ER), appetite regulation, and dietary adherence in overweight and obesity under naturalistic settings. I conducted the first systematic review and meta-analyses of appetitive and affective responses during moments of dietary temptation and lapses during ER using EMA (Chapter Three). Heightened responses accompany these momentary states, though engagement with coping strategies distinguished temptations from lapses. Within and between-person differences in responses also increased the likelihood ... (continues)
