Use of the BULIT bulimia screening questionnaire to assess risk and progress in weight management for overweight women who weight cycle
Article Abstract:
The BULImia Test (BULIT) is an effective measure to indicate higher risk for binge eating and feeling out of control in overweight women who weight cycle, according to research among women who were overweight and had at least a two-year history of weight cycling. The BULIT test is also an effective measure to use with overweight women who weight cycle to show progress after using an intervention to cut binge eating and feelings of lacking control. The BULIT test may prove useful for screening risk for bulimia and for testing weight management strategies to cut risk for binge eating.

Weight control self-efficacy types and transitions affect weight-loss outcomes in obese women
Article Abstract:
Obese treatment techniques involving Q methodology suggest that self-efficacy beliefs are significant in improving upon the outcomes of a weight-loss program. The Q factor-analysis helps in obese treatments by identifying the two major self-efficacy groups of assureds and disbelievers. In a study, comprising of 54 subjects who underwent the entire program, assureds lost more weight and exhibited more positive beliefs about themselves and the weight reduction program.

Restraint, weight suppression, and self-report reliability: How much do you really weigh?
Article Abstract:
The effects of weight suppression on eating behaviors were examined using a standard restraint ice cream taste-test paradigm. The amount of ice cream consumed during the taste test was the main measure of interest, and an analysis of variance suggested no major differences between groups, in contradiction to previously report results.
