Have you ever wondered why some meals leave you full for hours, and others—poof!—have you hunting for snacks again before you’ve finished the dishes? In the latest episode of the Weight Loss for Fertility podcast, we’re dishing out the skinny (pun intended) on satiation and satiety—the fancy terms for ideas that help us choose the right meal size for our bodies and determine how often we need to eat. Satiation = Knowing When to Stop: This is what happens during a meal—the gentle “off switch” that tells us we’re satisfied and it’s time to put the fork down. On our hunger scale, this is the magical “+2” point. Satiety = Comfortable Between Meals: Satiety describes how long you feel content after eating. The time from “+2” to “-2” (when hunger returns) depends on what we put on our plates. Whole foods, protein, and fiber keep us full and fueled longer. I bet it won't surprise you to know that hormones have something to do with it all-- hunger-inhibiting hormones to be precise (yep, you have them for free, no prescription required!)
