Silencing Overeating
Silencing Overeating Triggers
 Ever sit down at the computer with a family-size bag of chips, only to find it nearly empty by the time you log off?

 There's a scientific reason for it. Normally, if you eat the same food for a period of time, your palate gets "tired." You feel full sooner and don't want as
much. This is known as sensory-specific satiety. But get distracted -- by reading the latest celebrity gossip, catching up on e-mail, or playing computer
games -- and this appetite-control mechanism gets turned off.

 Your palate is primed for variety. Ever notice how there's always room for dessert, even when you're stuffed? The greater the variety of food, the more
you're likely to eat. The opposite is also true: Take away variety and you feel fuller sooner. It's a trick you can use to your advantage. You're less likely to
overeat -- and more likely to lose weight -- if you eat the same thing for at least one of your meals, day in and day out. Aim for overall variety within a
weeklong period, not with each meal.

 In a study, women who ate snack cakes while playing a video game wanted to eat more of the food -- not less -- compared to the women who ate without
any distraction. The game players also had a greater desire to snack on other available munchies, and their desire to eat lingered after the study ended.

 So do your best not to watch TV, spend time on the computer, read, or otherwise distract yourself when eating. You'll be satisfied with less and feel fuller
sooner. And focusing on eating might help prolong the time between meals. This will help your weightloss effort.
