Q

The Physiology of Appetite

A
  • An important hormone that plays a role in the body’s physiological response to appetite is ghrelin.
  • This hormone is an appetite-enhancing hormone.
  • Several organs release this hormone; however, it is mainly secreted by the stomach.
  • People often say that their stomach is growling when they are hungry. This ‘growling’ occurs because the stomach is producing ghrelin.

Q

foods that provide satiety

A
  • The nutrients food contains and how food is processed determine how satisfying it will be, not the amount of kilojoules in the food.
  • Filling foods are often high in protein, low in glycaemic index (GI), high in fibre and unprocessed.

Q

foods high in protein

A
  • Protein is the most filling macronutrient as it may supress the hormone ghrelin, which activates hunger.
    Protein increases the levels of hormones that signal satiety:
  • Cholecystokinin is a gut hormone released after eating; it helps digestion and reduces appetite.
  • Adiponectin is a molecule secreted mainly by the body’s fat cells.
