The study had participants repeatedly rating or choosing pictures of food in a process called sensory simulation.

One group viewed sweet foods, and the other viewed salty foods.

When you’re enjoyment of eating something decreases, you’re a lot less likely to crave it.

Basically, the idea is to look at something so much you’re sick of it.
