It could also be that home made bread is chewier and so it takes longer to eat, or that it's a psychological effect from having made it yourself.

- adrian_b 4y agoI do not think that there is any psychological reason, because I was very surprised by this, as it was contrary to my expectations. However you are right that it is chewier than commercial bread and I have also thought that this may be an additional explanation. I believe that the longer chewing time contributes to the satiation effect, but it cannot explain all of it, as I remain satiated for many hours, and I do not believe that the extra chewing can have a lasting effect. In any case the fact that most modern food requires much less chewing than traditional food is indeed a likely contributory factor to the tendency of eating more at a meal than it was common for the previous generations.
