Nutrient knowledge impacts satiety, even if false.
That if you think, oh, this is very low calorie, nutrient sparse, then it's good for me in the context of losing weight for instance. But it turns out the opposite is true, because as you told us, the body responds differently when you think something is nutrient dense and can actually suppress hunger more.
if people believe that a food is nutritious for them, then eating less of it registers as more satiating. Whereas if people view dieting as a deprivation system, like, oh, dieting is hard, and the food sucks, and it's terrible, well, then they crave all sorts of other things.
