New study says those who are obese more likely to get more enjoyment out of eating

CINCINNATI (WKRC) - A new study has some surprising insight as to what might hinder your ability to drop pounds.

If your weight is above where you want it to be and you find it tough to drop pounds, it might not be your fault. A new study says people who are obese really do enjoy food more than others.

Researchers at the University of Iowa suggest a key factor for overeating is that some people get much more pleasure from the taste of food.

Researchers studied nearly 200 people of different sizes. They found that as people munched their way through a chocolate bar, the enjoyment level of obese people remained higher for longer, but slimmer people began to enjoy the taste less as time went on.

Women stopped enjoying the food before men did.

If this is true, there may be some value in eating small meals throughout the day.
