The Chasam Sofer interprets the pasuk in Devarim (12,20) כי ירחיב וכו’ ואמרת אוכלה בשר,when Hashem will extend your borders as He promised and ‘you will say’ I want to eat meat. Why do you have to say? The Torah wants one to be able to control oneself by saying one wants to eat meat before eating as if one does not do that, will turn into a glutton and eat without control. This happens to be a good advice for dieting.
