Control of food intake is mainly done by the hypothalamus. Classically, the hypothalamus is considered to have a pair of feeding center located in the lateral hypothalamus, one on each side, and a pair of satiety center located in the ventromedial hypothalamus. Feeding center encourages us to eat, while the satiety center tells us when we have enough to eat.
However, we often eat not because of hungry or stop not because of satiety. We often eat out of habit (eating 3 times a day on the schedule) or because of social habits (food often plays an important role in the activities of entertainment, business, or leisure).
In addition, the pleasure derived from eating to reinforce eating behavior. Eating food that tastes delicious, flavorful the appetite, and an interesting shape can increase appetite and food intake.
One's eating habits are also shaped by psychological factors. Stress, anxiety, depression, and boredom are also proven to alter eating behavior. Thus, any comprehensive explanation of how food intake should be controlled taking into account the actions of a volunteer who can enhance or defeat the internal signals that regulate feeding behavior.
