Researchers say it is because people face more temptation to over-indulge when dining out than at home, work, or in their car

FATTIES are less likely to stick to a diet when eating in a restaurant, a study found.

Those on a calorie-restricted diet ate too much six times out of ten.

Researchers say it is because people face more temptation to over-indulge when dining out than at home, work, or in their car.

A group of 150 obese volunteers spent a year reporting what and where they were eating and whether they were tempted to break or broke their eating plan.

Temptations included guzzling sugary drinks or gorging on cake, a large portion of chips, or too much chocolate.

Participants had fewer temptations in their own or someone elses home than in a restaurant but were just as likely to lapse.

The risk of caving in to temptation fell to 40 per cent at work and 30 per cent in a car.

They were also more likely to cheat when surrounded by others who were eating.

Study leader Professor Lora Burke, from the University of Pittsburgh, said: Research into understanding and preventing weight regain is vital for improving the public health.

Helping an individual anticipate challenges and problem-solve high-risk situations can empower them to stay on track with their weight loss plan.

She said the findings could be used to develop weight-loss programmes, in which people are sent motivational messages when dining out.

The findings were presented at a conference hosted by the American Heart Association.
