The influence of palatability on appetite and food intake in humans has been investigated in several studies. There is an increase in food intake as palatability increases, but the effect of palatability on appetite in the period following consumption is unclear. Increasing food variety can also increase food and energy intake and in the short term alter energy balance 45. However, effects on long-term energy regulation are unknown. Sensory aspects

Make meals a priority. An important element of the French diet is eating meals at the table as a family, Clower tells WebMD. In a recent study of 766 men and women in France, researchers found that nearly two-thirds reported eating together as a household on a daily basis. American families who eat dinner together tend to eat more vegetables and fruits, and less fried foods, soda, and foods containing trans fats than those who rarely or never dine together, studies show. Conversing with family or friends keeps your mouth busy talking instead of chewing, allowing you time to realize you're full. To reap the benefits for yourself, set a regular time for dinner where you turn off the TV and the computer. If you're dining alone, enjoy the company of a good book or beautiful music -- both will help you relax and slow down. Similarly, your doctor may suggest taking supplements so you get more of the specific nutrient you’re not absorbing. If you’re not getting enough protein from your food, for example, a protein powder made from bone broth can give you an extra dose of protein, electrolytes and minerals. There is no doubt that the cost of food is a primary determinant of food choice. Whether cost is prohibitive depends fundamentally on a person's income and socio-economic status. Low-income groups have a greater tendency to consume unbalanced diets and in particular have low intakes of fruit and vegetables 14. However, access to more money does not automatically equate to a better quality diet but the range of foods from which one can choose should increase.

They have also been used to predict the likelihood that dietary behaviour change will occur. This section focuses on a select few.
