It is the difference of using internal and external cues that makes huge difference between the health status of the Americans and the French.
French are habitual of using the internal cues and that is why they do not feel hungry for a longer time. It helps them stop eating more frequently.

A heavy person, either French or American, will rely more on such external cues for stop eating more. These people will never rely upon their feeling as full.
