Ever wonder why at the end of a holiday feast when you have just said “I can’t eat another bite!” the next words out of your mouth are: “what’s for dessert?”  

The problem may be “flavor variety overload”, according to Dr. David L. Katz, M.D. of the Prevention Research Center at Yale University. Little known is the concept of sensory specific satiety –  the phenomenon of eating too many flavors all at once, putting the appetite center in the brain into overdrive.  As appetite increases, portion control becomes next to impossible.  This means that even the most disciplined have difficulty resisting food.

Decades of scientific research supports the validity of this concept – now translated into practical terms in Dr. Katz’ new book, “The Flavor Full Diet.”  The book outlines how to distribute flavors in every meal so that you can enjoy delicious food and fabulous nutrition, and still lose weight! You will simply feel full on fewer calories!  In test studies, average weight loss on the program was 16 pounds within 12 weeks; and participants  experienced improvement in their health and energy levels.

Help with appetite control – and weight lose – is now close at hand. Ask for “The Flavor Full Diet” at your local bookstore. For more information on Dr. David Katz, please visit www.davidkatzmd.com .
