In such a situation, when there is any loss of control, the feeling of frustration and deprivation prevails and overeating behavior occurs. The mechanism underlying this is the “all or nothing” mindset. When a person who cannot fulfill the requirements of the diet eats more than the planned amount or eats something different from the planned meal, he thinks that he has crossed the limit and gives up the diet and turns to overeating again, thinking "since I cannot fulfill the requirements of the diet, there is no need to deprive myself of the foods I like." p>
