Limit Your Choices

One of the things that regulates how much people eat is a phenomenon called “sensory specific satiety,” which means the more you eat of something, the less desirable it becomes.

If you have a single dish available, you can only eat so much. For instance, if you serve one kind of cookie you might just eat one cookie, but if you are given two kinds of cookies, you’ll probably have at least one of each.
