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 .
The effect of learning climate on snack consumption and ego depletion among undergraduate students
We explored the effect of controlled and autonomous learning choices on the consumption of a high-energy snack food , and also examined whether snack consumption during a controlled choice learning activity could ' up-regulate ' subsequent performance on a self-regulation task .  Participants were r and omly assigned to a controlled choice learning condition in which food was provided , a controlled choice learning condition in which food was not provided , or an autonomous choice learning condition in which food was provided . Results indicated that the autonomous choice group consumed significantly less snack food than the controlled-choice- and -food group . Participants in the autonomous choice condition also performed better on the subsequent self-regulation task than the controlled-choice- and -food group , even after controlling for the amount of food consumed . Furthermore , within the controlled-choice- and -food condition , there was no association between food consumption and subsequent self-regulation task performance . Discussion focuses on the potential impact of a controlled learning climate on snack food consumption and on the degradation of self-regulation capacities
