节食在许多研究人员和医疗保健专业人士中已经形成了负面的声誉。然而，节食可以指各种行为模式，这些行为模式与饮食和体重的不同影响有关。节食是否明智取决于所涉及的节食方式、节食对象以及节食原因。因此，根据人们对节食一词的定义，节食可能是非常有害的，只是无效的，或者实际上是有益的。本文件考虑了这三个方面的例子。特别是，我们认为，关于节食的可取性的判断应该考虑从事或不从事节食行为对特定个人的可能后果。
Dieting has developed a negative reputation among many researchers and health care professionals. However, 'dieting' can refer to a variety of behavioural patterns that are associated with different effects on eating and body weight. The wisdom of dieting depends on what kind of dieting is involved, who is doing it, and why. Thus, depending on what one means by the term, dieting can be quite harmful, merely ineffective or actually beneficial. The present paper considers examples of all three. In particular, we argue that judgements about the desirability of dieting should consider the likely consequences to particular individuals of engaging in, or not engaging in, dieting behaviour.
