TLDR
It was predicted that the depletion of ego strength resulting from having to choose whether to conform would undermine dietary restraint, and restrained eater who repeatedly exercised choice ate significantly more than did restrained eaters who did not exercise choice.Abstract:
Objective
Ego-strength depletion was examined as an explanation for dietary disinhibition in restrained eaters. We predicted that the depletion of ego strength resulting from having to choose whether to conform would undermine dietary restraint.
Method
Participants completed an Asch-type conformity task, after which they completed a taste-rating task in which food intake was measured.
Results
As predicted, restrained eaters who repeatedly exercised choice ate significantly more than did restrained eaters who did not exercise choice.
Discussion
An ego-strength model of dietary restraint is discussed. © 2003 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Eat Disord 33: 165–171, 2003.read more

TL;DR: It is suggested that self-control relies on glucose as a limited energy source, and a single act of self- Control causes glucose to drop below optimal levels, thereby impairing subsequent attempts at self- control.

Environmental factors that increase the food intake and consumption volume of unknowing consumers.
TL;DR: This review underscores how small structural changes in personal environments can reduce the unknowing overconsumption of food and redirecting the focus of investigations to the psychological mechanisms behind consumption will raise the profile and impact of research.

Self-Regulation and Personality: How Interventions Increase Regulatory Success, and How Depletion Moderates the Effects of Traits on Behavior.
TL;DR: It is shown that ego depletion moderates the effects of many traits on behavior, particularly such that wide differences in socially disapproved motivations produce greater differences in behavior when ego depletion weakens the customary inner restraints.

The Physiology of Willpower: Linking Blood Glucose to Self-Control:
TL;DR: This review suggests that blood glucose is one important part of the energy source of self-control, and appears highly susceptible to glucose, which might be related to a broad range of social behavior.

Development and psychometric evaluation of a measure of intuitive eating.
TL;DR: In this paper, the Intuitive Eating Scale (IBS) was developed and initial psychometric evaluation of the IBS with data collected in 4 studies from 1,260 college women and found that IES scores were negatively related to eating disorder symptomatology, body dissatisfaction, poor interoceptive awareness, pressure for thinness, internalization of the thin ideal, and body mass; positively related to several indexes of well-being; and unrelated to impression management.

Ego depletion: is the active self a limited resource?
TL;DR: The results suggest that the self's capacity for active volition is limited and that a range of seemingly different, unrelated acts share a common resource.

TL;DR: In this article, the major patterns of self-regulatory failure are reviewed and evidence supports a strength (limited resource) model for self-regulation and suggests that people often acquiesce in losing control.
