Ever wondered why you can feel completely satisfied after dinner, but still want something sweet? 🍰
This is known as taste specific satiety.
Our appetite can change depending on the taste, texture and variety of food in front of us. You might feel full after a savoury meal, but suddenly find yourself interested in something sweet.
It’s thought that our preference for variety may have developed as a way of encouraging us to eat a wider range of foods.
So that post-dinner craving for something sweet? It may be more complex than simply having a sweet tooth.
