Default Can Someone Explain This To Me?

Why is it that I can eat only one orange when it's peeled, but I can eat 2-3 oranges when they're sliced???

The time it takes you to peel the orange is time for you to 'breathe' hence making you feel fuller. Basically thats why they say you should take your time eatting because 15 mins is what it takes to make your stomach tell your mind it's full.

Get it??

That makes sense, but I know that I've heard from people who have eaten enormous amounts of food that you should pace yourself. Which also seems to make sense.
