Yet somehow, it enables you eat more.

Does it? Or is eating more on Shabbos merely a learned behavior?*

* Example: About ten years ago, I lost a lot of weight. What I discovered was that a lot of my eating wasn’t because I was hungry, but because of learned behaviors. For example, if I was going to sit down and watch TV, I needed a snack — even if I wasn’t hungry. I would literally spend time searching the cabinets for something to eat while watching TV. Learned behaviors can be sneaky — you don’t even realize them until you try to combat them.
