BACKGROUND Sensory-specific satiety has been found to play an important role in food choice and meal termination, and it might be a factor contributing to obesity. OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that obese and normal-weight people have different sensitivities to sensory-specific satiety for high-fat foods. DESIGN Sensory-specific satiety was measured in 21 obese [x body mass index (BMI; in kg/m(...
