       Ask HN: Does wearing a tight undershirt make you feel fat and hence
       eat less?
        
       Do you think it would have that effect?

       | The biological imperative to eat so one can continue to survive
       | is deeply rooted in the subconscious of most beings. On average,
       | a tight-fitting garment will not be sufficient to offset the
       | imperative any more than a chastity belt can quell sexual urges.
       | With that said, for any single particular person it could have
       | the desired effect depending on their unique characteristics and
       | mentality.
       | 
       | We also live at a fortunate point in time where relatively safe
       | prescription appetite suppressing medications exist for those
       | blessed (or cursed) with excessively efficient digestive systems.
