Tag: Diet boredom

The term food fatigue is used colloquially to describe two very different experiences. While one is the temporary tiredness felt after a large meal, the other describes the psychological boredom from eating the same foods over and over.

According to food science, the phenomenon of sensory-specific satiety proves that flavor fatigue is, in fact, a very real biological mechanism. This process causes the pleasantness of a specific food to decrease after repeated consumption, even when you're still hungry for something else.
