Dietary Fat and Appetite Control in Obese Subjects

A high fat meal may lead to over-consumption of calories, particularly when hunger is high (light lunch). This over-consumption is not compensated for by reduced intake of calories later. Author's note: A lower fat diet with regular snacks can be suggested to decrease the likelihood of over eating. Dinner (ad lib)
