sensory-specific satiety

Sensory-specific satiety refers to the decreased desire to eat a particular food as you consume more of it, even if you’re still hungry overall. For example, after eating a lot of one type of food, like pasta, you might lose interest in it but still want to eat other foods like vegetables or dessert. This occurs because your brain becomes less responsive to the flavors, smells, and textures of the specific food you're consuming, encouraging variety in your diet. It plays a role in preventing overeating of the same food and promotes diversity in what we eat.
