Strong food smells cut down quantities

Scientists have experimented on this theory and concluded that it works. If the food or dessert has a stronger smell, people are more likely to take smaller bites and mouthfuls of it. The reason as to why that may work is because strong smelling foods tend to be filling and rich, thus causing one to eat less of them. Making food strong smelling also helps people lose weight because it tells the brain that it has more calories. This theory and suggestion has been shown to be true by our senses of smell. When a person smells food or any edible good before they eat it, they are less likely to eat it. If they still eat it, then they consume less than they would if the smell was weaker. The sense of smell is very essential to our lives. It helps us determine whether we will like a place, thing or food. In general terms, people prefer things, places and foods that smell good or please them. When a person goes to a new place, their first indication of whether they will or will not like that place is its smell. The same goes for food.  For humans, it is the sense of smell and taste that stand out as having more immediate direct reaction and emotion. Although it is not completely known, it is suspected that most of the times when people like a type of food, it is because of they like its smell and when they do not like the smell, they also do not like that type of food. We may take the senses of smell and taste for granted, but they are important in our lives although we do not know that. Food is great at all times.
