Curbing Appetite

Posted by george Subscribe here

Something I just learned from one of John’s emails this afternoon:

“About 70 calories of healthy fat just before you eat — that’s 6 walnuts, 12 almonds, or 20 peanuts — can trick you into thinking you’re full. Eating good fats stimulates the production of cholecystokinin (CCK), a hormone that tells your brain you’ve had enough to eat and then keeps you feeling full by slowing the emptying of your stomach. So when you sit down for a meal, you’ll eat for pleasure, not for hunger, and you’ll be likely to eat less.”
