Satiety

Satiety is the feeling of fullness and satisfaction after eating that stops you from wanting more food. Foods high in protein, fibre, and water tend to be more satiating, helping you feel fuller for longer on fewer calories.

Satiety is the physiological state of postprandial fullness that inhibits further eating, mediated by gastric distension, nutrient-sensing gut hormones (including GLP-1, PYY, and CCK), and central nervous system integration in the hypothalamus. The satiety index of foods varies based on macronutrient composition, energy density, and fibre content.

Choosing more satiating foods is one of the simplest and most effective strategies for reducing overall calorie intake without constant hunger. Our nutrition guidance at Accord Medical focuses on high-satiety food choices tailored to your preferences and lifestyle.
