TL;DR
There are indications that the view which dichotomizes internal and external controls of feeding behavior is too simple to explain differences between overweight and normal weight individuals.
Abstract
There are indications that the view which dichotomizes internal and external controls of feeding behavior is too simple to explain differences between overweight and normal weight individuals. The extreme separation of these factors no longer appears to be conceptually useful or empirically supported.

The existence of alliesthesia implies the presence of internal signals modifying the concious sensations aroused from peripheral receptors, and it is necessary to question the existence of sensations aroused by direct stimulation of central receptors, such as hypothalamic temperature detectors, osmoreceptors, and others.
Elsevier eBooksEndocrine and Metabolic Effects of Experimental Obesity in Man
563 Citations1973Ethan A.H. Sims, E. Danforth +4 more
This chapter discusses the endocrine and metabolic effects of the experimental obesity in humans and presents evidence for cellular factors in resistance to insulin in experimental obesity and their response to gain in weight and to dietary carbohydrate.
JAMASocial Factors in Obesity
426 Citations1965Phillip B. Goldblatt
The longer a woman's family had been in this country, the less likely she was to be obese and opportunities for more effective weight control measures through programs specially tailored for populations at high risk are suggested.
American Journal of Clinical NutritionRelative Importance of Inactivity and Overeating in the Energy Balance of Obese High School Girls
339 Citations1956Mary Louise Johnson, Bertha S. Burke +1 more
Interest has been heightened by the recognition that obesity in children and adolescents, particularly if it has been persistent throughout a major portion of the growth period, is of a particularly “resistant” type.
SciencePreferences for Sweet and Salty in 9- to 15-Year-Old and Adult Humans
236 Citations1975J. A. Desor, Lawrence S. Greene +1 more
The younger subjects preferred greater sweetness and saltiness that did the adults, and in the younger groups, there were race and sex differences in preferences, none of which appeared among the adults.
Journal of Personality and Social PsychologyManipulated time and eating behavior.
219 Citations1968Stanley Schachter, Larry Gross
By the use of doctored clocks, the external, food-relevant cue, "dinner time," is manipulated so that some Ss entered an experimental eating situation believing it to be later than their regular dinner time and others believing itto be before dinner time.
ScienceDeterminants of Food Intake in Obesity
183 Citations1968Richard E. Nisbett
Obese human subjects who were offered three sandwiches ate more than normal subjects and when only one sandwich was offered and additional sandwiches were available but out of sight, the obese subjects ate less thannormal subjects.

160 Citations1973Susan C. Wooley, Orland W. Wooley
The amount of salivation varied significantly and meaningfully with manipulated deprivation and palatability, and was correlated with subjects' ratings of hunger and appeal of the food stimuli, indicating that the measure reflects appetite by several criteria.
JAMAInfluence of Social Class on Obesity and Thinness in Children
159 Citations1972Albert J. Stunkard
The remarkably early onset of class-linked differences in prevalence of obesity underlines the importance of attempts to prevent the disorder in childhood, and attempts should be directed particularly toward those at high risk because of their lower socioeconomic status.

145 Citations1972Susan C. Wooley
Of additional interest were the large quantities eaten by the subjects at the test meal and their tendency to underestimate their intake and the small size of the food units served, which may have caused subjects to lose count and overeat.
Physiology & BehaviorRelationship between obesity, weight loss, and taste responsiveness
129 Citations1976Judith Rodin, Howard Moskowitz +1 more
Obese and mildly overweight subjects found increasingly sweet solutions more pleasant than did normals, and all weight groups found the sweet taste of milkshake pleasant even after a preload and consumed large amounts of the milkshakes.
Archives of General PsychiatryThe Interpretation of Gastric Motility
108 Citations1964Albert J. Stunkard
The correlation between the presence of gastric motility and reports of hunger in four groups of persons: obese and nonobese men and women is described and it is revealed that denial of hunger is a special case of a more general bias of obese subjects in associating hunger with gastric Motility.

103 Citations1971Robert G. Campbell, Sami A. Hashim +1 more
Lean young adults appear to regulate energy intake at the physiologic level when the nutritive concentration of the diet is altered covertly, but Grossly obese adults seem incapable of such regulation.

98 Citations1972George A. Bray
Data on gorging and nibbling have been related to other studies suggesting that the frequency of food intake may be inversely related to obesity.
Journal of Comparative and Physiological PsychologyEffects of obesity and set point on taste responsiveness and ingestion in humans.
70 Citations1975Judith Rodin
Preference and food intake of moderately overweight subjects were significantly more influenced by tastes that they found positive and negative than was the preference of normal weight or obese subjects.
Journal of Comparative and Physiological PsychologyEffects of degree of obesity, age of onset, and weight loss on responsiveness to sensory and external stimuli.
67 Citations1977Judith Rodin, Joyce Slochower +1 more
Weight loss did not change responses to visual and cognitive cue salience manipulations in measures of feeding, emotionality, time perception, and short-term recall, whereas responsiveness to variations in palatability increased following weight reduction, and responsiveness to taste stimuli may reflect these parameters.
Journal of Comparative and Physiological PsychologyEffect of calories on appetite for palatable food in obese and nonobese humans.
63 Citations1975Orland W. Wooley, Susan C. Wooley +1 more
Food stimuli were rated as more appetizing by the nonobese after high-calorie meals, but not so by the obese, and parallels with animal findings suggest that salivary responses reflect lateral hypothalamic activity.

Psychosomatic MedicineLong-Term Food Regulation in the Obese and Nonobese*
58 Citations1971Orland W. Wooley
Six obese and 5 normal adult male subjects were fed an all‐liquid diet ad libitum and showed incomplete caloric adjustment; the volume of their intake was greater when the food was low calorie than when it was high calorie, but they consumed more calories when the foods were high calorie.

53 Citations1974Judith Rodin, Joyce Slochower
Overweight subjects were faster than were normals in choice reaction time and that they had lower tachistoscopic recognition thresholds and better immediate recall for items briefly exposed on a slide and Rodin (1973) reasoned that the overweight subject was gripped by impinging external cues.
