TL;DR
In the first study, obese, normal weight dieting, and normal weight non-dieting male subjects were presented with a meal consisting either of a variety of foods or of a single food, and the effect may have been mediated by differential decreases in palatability in the variety and no variety conditions.
Abstract
In the first study, obese, normal weight dieting, and normal weight non-dieting male subjects were presented with a meal consisting either of a variety of foods or of a single food. Subjects consumed greater amounts in the variety condition than in the no variety condition, independent of dieting status or weight. It was suggested that the effect may have been mediated by differential decreases in palatability in the variety and no variety conditions, palatability declining more rapidly when only one food was available. A second study supported this interpretation by demonstrating that the palatability of a food decreased with the amount consumed of that particular food.
