What isiety and why it matters.

Satiety is the feeling we get after we eat an appropriate amount of food in response to hunger, the feeling that tells us when it’s time to stop eating and put the food away, no matter how much is left on our plate. There is a complex interplay of body chemistry, emotional make-up, and habit. For animals with an abundant food supply, satiety is an important feedback mechanism for maintaining health. We have a lot to learn from the U.S. Obesity statistics.

We don’t pay attention. Most of us have had the experience of eating beyond the point of satiety. We have been concentrating on the oral sensations of taste and texture but ignoring signals from the rest of our body. We tend to eat past satiety at almost every meal. Why? We might be focused on an activity, such as watching TV, and not realize how much we are eating.

There are many ways to get to satiety. What to do? We don’t think in terms of calories when we’re hungry because we’re aware of the relative number of calories in a variety of foods. We want food when we are hungry. We want the food closest to us when we are hungry.
