CDR+: with experimentally induced cognitive dietary restraint; CDR−: without experimentally induced cognitive dietary restraint. aAll values are means ± SD. bBaseline values (T = 0 week) differed significantly between groups. Adjustment for baseline value was performed in analyses. cScore from the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ). Possible range of values is: 0 to 21 for CDR; 0 to 7 for flexible control and rigid control; 0 to 16 for disinhibition; 0 to 14 for hunger. dScore from the Food Craving Questionnaire. Possible range of values is 39 to 195. Analyses were performed on log transformed values.
