This Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences article reviews trials that evaluated an obesity
treatment that combines response inhibition training with high-calorie foods and training
designed to reduce attention for high-calorie foods. Two randomized controlled trials suggest
that food response inhibition and attention training produced significant body fat loss, along with
a reduction in valuation of, and reward region response to, high-calorie foods. However, these
effects did not emerge in a third trial, potentially because this trial used more heterogeneous food
images, which reduced inhibition learning and attentional learning. Collectively, results suggest
that food response inhibition and attention training can devalue high-calorie foods and result in
weight loss, but only if a homogenous set of high-calorie and low-calorie food images are used.
