Researchers from the University of Vermont, in the US, have conducted an experiment on rats to try and understand why dieters might 'relapse' to eating, or overeating when satiated.
Findings provide new clues as to why extreme diets may be susceptible to fail as well as insights to inform better diet strategies for unsuccessful obese dieters looking to lower their risk of type 2 diabetes.
The study was published in the Psychological Science journal.
