If you eat the same menu every day, you will eat less and food will play a lesser role in your life. In an experiment at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, two groups of people were offered bowls of M&M's. One group had bowls with 10 colors of candy in them. The other group had bowls of M&M's with just a few colors. Eaters who were given the 10 colors of candy in their bowls ate almost twice as much as the other eaters. Many choices and much variety encourage eating and overeating. (FYI: one half cup of M&M's has over 400 calories!)
Stick to a boring menu. Eliminate choices, and stay away from buffets.
