A wide range of techniques have been evaluated and some show promise for use in weight management interventions .
OBJECTIVE This systematic review aim ed to ( a ) identify and categorize techniques used to modify or manage impulsive processes associated with unhealthy eating behavior , ( b ) describe the mechanisms targeted by such techniques , and ( c ) summarize available evidence on the effectiveness of these techniques .
Wake up and smell the cookies. Effects of olfactory food-cue exposure in restrained and unrestrained eaters
Few factors have been identified that bolster self-control processes and prevent  overeating in restrained eaters ; however , research on counteractive-control theory suggests that exposure to food cues may represent such a protective factor . To further investigate the effects of food-cue exposure , restrained and unrestrained eaters were r and omly assigned to either a food-cue or no-cue condition , and their intake was measured . The results indicated that food-cue-exposed restrained eaters ate less than did non-exposed restrained eaters . The possible role of incidental food-cue exposure as a means for inhibiting intake in restrained eaters is explored
