Satiety Types: Why some people stay full longer & How to train your appetite
Ever feel like you’re constantly thinking about food while others seem to forget to eat?

The good news? You’re not doomed to constant cravings! By understanding how different foods impact appetite and satiety, you can make choices that work with your biology instead of against it. In this article, we’ll break down what influences hunger, why some foods are designed to be addictive, and how you can tweak your diet and environment to stay full, satisfied, and in control—without unnecessary restriction.
