Satiety is a term used to explain the feeling of fullness and loss of appetite that happens after eating.
A scale called the satiety index measures this effect. It was developed in a 1995 study that tested 240-calorie servings of 38 foods. The foods were ranked according to their ability to satisfy hunger.
Satiety signals are those arising from the GI tract and related organs during a meal.
This video talks about food satiety signals and weight loss. It debunks the myth of protein as the most satiating macronutrient.
Recognizing satiety — as opposed to fullness — is key to losing weight. Eating to promote feelings of satiety is often much more important than eating to feel ‘full’.
Some foods promote weight loss by satiety.
Low-fat dairy products, eggs, and legumes enhance satiety. Although energy dense, nuts have some satiety-inducing effect, when included in the diet by isocaloric replacement of usual foods.
