We explore how social media drives appetite inflation, making simple meals feel dull, and cravings feel loud, and we share a practical reset to restore satisfaction without banning favorite foods. We tie dopamine, novelty, and endless food cues to real choices, then offer steps to reclaim calm eating.
• how dopamine and novelty shape desire, not true hunger
• Why 50–100 hourly food cues inflate appetite
• highlight reels of food versus everyday meals
• reasons simple plates feel unsatisfying after scrolling
• practical boundaries for scrolling around meals
• a five to seven-day flavor‑novelty reset
• using presence and slower eating to feel enough
• algorithm nudges to reduce recipe bombardment
• turning saved recipes into planned meals for closure
Thank you, each of you, for joining us for Healthy Hut. I'm looking forward to seeing you right here next time on Healthy Huddle.
