LOPEZ-ESPINOZA, Antonio. Can diets "cause" overweight?: A counterfactual analysis. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2005, vol.4, n.1, pp.23-30. ISSN 1657-9267.

The objective of the current work is to ask for the role of diets in the body weight. The experimental evidence showed that when deprivation was removed body weight was recovered or even increased. In the analysis of this phenomenon, the principal philosophical approach of causality concept and the counterfactual model proposed for Von Wright was used. The results demonstrated that a deprivation period is a sufficient condition to produce gain weight when returning to free access.
