Abstract
Dieting for treating weight gain and obesity has become controversial, as it is ineffective at its best. Recent research suggests that this holds true only for a subgroup of dieters: Those with a high degree of emotional and/or external eating. In contrast there is also a subgroup with no such tendencies. These dieters were found to be able to maintain their weight loss and also did not overeat in the laboratory. It is possible to validly discriminate between potentially successful and unsuccessful dieters by means of the Dutch Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (DEBQ). This instrument enables the clinician to determine which patients can be expected to have a good response to low calorie diets and who are best helped with a different sort of therapy.
