Abstract
Frequent self-weighing has been found to facilitate weight maintenance and the prevention of age-related weight gain. Three experiments were performed to examine the hypothesis that the act of self-weighing inhibits the increase in food intake elicited by food primes. In the first study, participants were provided with a small bowl of chocolate, and consumption of the snack was compared between those who self-weighed and those who did not. In the second study, participants were randomized into three groups: (a) those who watched food advertisements and did not self-weigh, (b) those who watched food advertisements and self-weighed, and (c) those who watched neutral advertisements and did not self-weigh. The third study added a negative control group that watched neutral advertisements and self-weighed. The results revealed that weighing oneself inhibits snack intake, as well as reduces the effects of stimulating food intake when watching a food advertisement. Understanding the mechanism behind this phenomenon means that we can harness the psychological power of stepping on the scale to help combat the prevalence of obesity in the United States.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
