    Author: Bossert S, Laessle RG, Meiller C, Junker M, Ellgring H, Pirke KM.
    Journal: Behav Res Ther; 1991; 29(4):337-41. PubMed ID: 1888323.
    Abstract:
    The effects of 19 meals of different caloric content on slides on palatability and hypothetical duration of consumption were investigated in 7 patients with anorexia nervosa, 17 patients with bulimia nervosa at the beginning and after 8 weeks of hospital treatment. Nine healthy females served as controls. At the beginning of treatment, palatability of low caloric food was significantly higher and hypothetical duration of consumption of high caloric food was significantly longer in patients when compared to controls. After 8 weeks, in the patients palatability of low caloric food had decreased. Dislike for high caloric food remained stable in anorexics.
