Successful long-term weight-loss is exceptional, even with the best dietary and psychological interventions. Nomothetic accounts of diet failure focus on cognitive processes and emotional regulation. However, qualitative research suggests that successful dieters draw on wider understandings in explaining their success; this study extends this literature to address diet failure. Individual interviews with 10 self-selected UK dieters are analysed using IPA. Understandings of diet failure are explored and situated within wider cultural discourses. Five themes are identified: 'Dieting mode'; 'Multime'; 'Not me'; 'Modern life'; and 'Challenges of emotional and social eating'. Implications for weight-loss interventions are explored.
成功的长期减肥是例外的，即使有最好的饮食和心理干预措施。对节食失败的经验主义解释侧重于认知过程和情绪调节。然而，定性研究表明，成功的节食者在解释他们的成功时会借鉴更广泛的理解；这项研究将这一文献扩展到节食失败的问题上。使用 IPA 对 10 名自我选择的英国节食者的个人访谈进行了分析。本文探讨了对节食失败的理解，并将其置于更广泛的文化话语中。确定了五个主题：“节食模式”；“多吃”；“不是我”；“现代生活”；和“情感和社交饮食的挑战”。探讨了对减肥干预措施的影响。
