“…Such successful extinction of responses to food cues is thought to increase one's ability to abstain from eating, and ultimately, result in improved weight loss success (Jansen, 1998;Jansen et al, 2011;Jansen, Stegerman, Roefs, Nederkoorn, & Havermans, 2010;Wardle, 1990). In support, the few studies conducted on cue exposure therapy (CET), in which overweight individuals or those with eating psychopathology are repeatedly exposed to food cues without eating, indeed suggest CET to be effective in reducing cue-elicited cravings and eating binges (e.g., Boutelle et al, 2014;Jansen, Broekmate, & Heymans, 1992;Jansen, Van Den Hout, De Loof, Zandbergen, & Griez, 1989;Martinez-Mallén et al, 2007;Schyns, Roefs, Mulkens, & Jansen, 2015;Toro, Cervera, Feliu, Garriga, Jou, Martinez, & Toro, 2003). Despite these very promising findings, the evidence for a superiority of CET over control treatments at follow-up is mixed (Boutelle et al, 2014;Jansen et al, 1992).…”
