Do You Eat Less If Foods Are Flavorful?
Category: Uncategorized
Has anyone found that if foods are flavorful, you tend to eat less; as opposed to eating more of bland foods? I’m trying to shed a few pounds, and I’ve noticed I’m always munching if I eat less flavorful foods. Note that I’m talking flavorful, not spicy. Although that would be a valid second part to the question.

Yes, actually and I think it’s because I’m more SATISFIED with flavorful foods. They satisfy my hunger AND my taste buds. If I eat something bland, I almost feel like I haven’t eaten anything at all.

I have been trying to learn more about this as well… there is a diet called the shangri – la diet. if you drink a couple tablespoons of olive oil and a dab of sugar they say you loose the appitite and it trains you not to be hungry as much….. anyway…. read the link to find out more about it…

You eat food that your flavor buds like and not always because they are flavorable either.

flavorful foods tend to probably be more fatty and filling as they taste good. the bland or whole grains keep going as you can eat more and not feel soooooo full.

If the food is flavorful I tend to eat more (unfortunately). I would just stick to portion control, not eating any sugars, high fat content, more fiber and water….a healthy diet, in other words….and (sadly
…wish there was another way) exercise.

I am the opposite…if something is very good and flavorful, then I find myself eating and eating. If something is bland, then I tend to just push it aside when I feel satisfied hunger wise.
