Satiety

Satiety is the feeling of fullness and satisfaction after eating that suppresses the urge to eat further.

Satiety is the satisfied feeling you get after a good meal that stops you wanting to eat more. High-protein and high-fibre foods tend to promote greater satiety.

Satiety is mediated by gastric distension, nutrient sensing in the gut and the release of satiety hormones including GLP-1, PYY and CCK that signal the brain to terminate eating.

Enhancing satiety through food choices or medications is a key strategy in medical weight management.
