Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sensory specific satiety (SSS) describes the decline in pleasantness associated with a food as it is eaten relative to a food that has not been eaten (the ‘eaten’ and ‘uneaten’ foods, respectively). The prevailing view is that SSS is governed by habituation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Have you ever felt “stuffed” after a big meal and then watched as dessert was brought out? Even though you thought you couldn’t eat another bite, you still found room for dessert. That’s sensory-specific satiety at work again.

Detailed explanation-3: -A hierarchy has been observed for the satiating efficacies of the macronutrients protein, carbohydrate and fat, with protein as most satiating and fat as least satiating.

Detailed explanation-4: -Many factors influence body weight-genes, though the effect is small, and heredity is not destiny; prenatal and early life influences; poor diets; too much television watching; too little physical activity and sleep; and our food and physical activity environment.
