I believe the research he was talking about was showing that everyone has a certain 'amount' of daily self-control, later in the day, people 'ran out' of their self-control and were then more likely to binge eat, or do whatever they were trying to stop before.<br />I believe that had participants do an activity that required a lot of self-control and on completion were offered something they were trying to avoid, they were compared with the placebo group doing a random activity that didn't require self-control and then offered the thing they were avoiding. The ones who had 'used up their self-control' were much more likely to accept the thing they were avoiding. I'll have to look into that or ask some of my friends if they remember, it was really interesting! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
