Dieting is a widespread behaviour responding to the public health recommendations. In the setting of weight cycling, this positive health behaviour can have physical and psychological negative consequences. This review of interventions is focused on the psychological consequences of dieting among the obese population. Based on the randomised controlled trials published in the last ten years, it seems that our biggest challenge should be the modification of our programs and the whole mind set regarding the treatment of obesity.
