Adherence
Higher subjective hunger scores, as measured by the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ), predict greater weight regain after a weight-loss intervention.
Feeling hungry after a diet is a strong predictor that you might regain the weight. Instead of fighting hunger with willpower, focus on foods that keep you full (high volume, high fiber) to reduce the hunger score.
