The study that I am going to present to you comes to conclusions that I never, ever, and help me to say NEVER I would have imagined.
In fact, it seems that perfectionist people , those who love to have control over everything, have less chance of being successful in the diet (i.e. losing weight and maintaining the weight lost: attention, the success of the diet is not only linked to weight loss, but to maintenance of lost weight) compared to those who love to eat and are more approximate with food.  In short, the controlled ones fail and the gluttons make it.

In practice, according to a behavioral analysis that studied a sample of 28 thousand individuals over the years , people have up to 5 different dietary behaviors, including REFLECTIVES and FOOD LOVERS.
The reflexives, contrary to popular belief, start at an advantage but then become demotivated: the problem is that they adopt a rigid and analytical attitude, often setting their diet as a challenge, leaving little room for error and ending up treating their diet with rigidity. unrealistic compared to everyday life. The result is that when faced with the normal obstacles to weight loss, the REFLECTIVE stops

. Also, you are more likely to develop an eating control disorder. On the other hand, the greedy or FOOD LOVER immediately has a softer attitude which in the long term also proves to be more sustainable.
