Résumé

The increasing prevalence of obesity in the actual western dietary context is questioning the notion of energy-balance regulated by the physiological control of dietary intake. The rules of spontaneous regulation of the fat mass but also of the fat-free mass being recalled; we consider the possible causes of the failure of this regulation. The extraordinary increase of the palatability and of the variety of food products could explain the limitation of that regulation. Some therapeutical means are given in order to re-adjust the level of the weight-control.
