“…Rooth and Carlstrom's (1970) results indicated a sustained weight loss at follow-up, although there was no difference between the total starvation and restrictedcalorie groups. The majority of persons in the studies by Maag^e and Morgensen (1970), Nathan and Pisula (1970), and Swanson and Dinello (1970a) regained the weight they had lost. The equivocal weight maintenance results and the number of serious physical complications associated with prolonged starvation suggests that this technique should be used only in extreme situations.…”

“…The majority of patients found the reduction in body size a source of gratification, and the subjective impression was that all seemed to make gains in adjustment while in the hospital. Nathan and Pisula (1970) observed the psychological reactions of IS obese adolescents whose 4-week hospitalization included 2 weeks of total starvation. There was a significantly high incidence of deaths of significant persons shortly before the youngsters agreed to be hospitalized for the total fast.…”

This paper evaluates the effectiveness of various treatments in producing weight reduction and long-terra weight maintenance. Treatment results with traditional weight loss procedures are no more effective now than they were IS years ago. Behavior modification techniques have shown more promising results in weight loss maintenance, with the most efficient techniques those which directly teach the modification of eating patterns. However, the weight losses reported have generally not been very large, and there may be individual differences in the effectiveness of the particular behavioral techniques employed. Intestinal bypass surgery has produced substantial weight reduction, but the physical side effects and complications are many.

“…Several investigations have studied the impact norms of social groups have upon eating patterns and other health behaviors (Silverstein and Bengtson, 1991). Studies have also demonstrated the importance of taking into account the normative influences of the individual's social context in order to improve eating behavior (Pill and Parry, 1992;Broman, 1992;Nathan, 1970). For young adults in particular, eating patterns were found to be influenced by primary groups, represented by friends' and parents' attitudes and behaviors (Lau et al, 1990).…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the extent to which social groups influenced eating patterns among young adults, aged 23-26 years. The analyses are based on a study consisting of 703 individuals with social groups being made up by parents, siblings, partners, friends, and co-workers/fellow students. Perceived norms of social groups and social attachment to these groups were measured. Demographic variables included education, income, marital status, and whether participants had children. These variables were subsequently correlated with a food frequency measure. The most influential social factor for predicting eating patterns among young adults was perceived norms of partner. Educational level was also an important factor. These results support the Lifelong Openness Model which suggests that individuals remain open to persuasion from socialization agents throughout life.

“…Intuitive eating involves physiological regulation of food intake in response to the body's needs based on internal physiological cues (hunger and satiety) (44) , but these cues may be subject to a range of impairments. Hunger signals are often poorly recognized, or confused with just wanting to eat in subjects with obesity (45,46) . As reported by Hilde Bruch (11) , the construction of hunger cues it not innate and is acquired during early interpersonal experiences, which, when appropriate, make it possible to identify that specific bodily sensation in the same way as other bodily needs.…”

Body misperception could predispose to obesity, by masking excess weight and/or hunger and satiety signals, and by promoting emotional eating and difficulties engaging in physical activity. Thus, it may also be an obstacle to the management of persons with obesity. This narrative review describes the different types of troubles of the relationship with the body that can be encountered in obese subjects, and groups them into three main categories, namely: silhouette distortion, alteration of internal bodily signals pertaining to food, and impaired perception of interoceptive input. Each of these categories is detailed in terms of its clinical phenotypes and potential mechanisms involved. The therapeutic challenges posed by these various disorders are also developped, as well as the limitations of the main instruments available to identify them. The authors conclude that body misperception should be systematicaly investigated in the clinical management of obesity.
