Abstract

A new technique has been developed to study the changes in feelings of satiety during food consumption. Five non obese women were interrupted after eating 75 g increments of a tomato soup test meal served on an eating monitor to complete rating scales of hunger, satiety, fullness, sickness, and pleasantness of the meal. They were instructed to eat as much as they could, and their intakes ranged from 590 to 1288 g. The measured responses to each question were then plotted against the corresponding intakes. The slopes of the linear portions (in mm/g on 150 mm scales) were −.22 for hunger, −.21 for pleasantness of the food, and .27 for both fullness and satiety. The slope of the relationship between satiety and intake or the difference in intake between 25% and 75% of the maximum satiety response range could be useful measures for assessing either disturbances in satiety in clinical populations, or assessing relative satiating potencies of foods or beverages.

    These inputs include short-term (e.g., glucose) and longer term (e.g., leptin) internal “biological” signals regarding levels of energy stored, food anticipation (based in part on environmental stimuli such as the time of day), hunger, satiation, wanting of food, and liking of the food that is available (Finlayson et al., 2007; Grill, 2010). These signals are then translated into how hard we will work for food, what type of food we will choose, how much we will eat, how fast we will eat, and when we stop eating (Guss and Kissileff, 2000; Hadigan et al., 1989; Kissileff et al., 1996; Kissileff and Guss, 2000; Kissileff et al., 2010; Wentzlaff et al., 1995; Yanovski et al., 1992). Individuals maintaining a reduced body weight after nonsurgical weight loss are inclined towards greater rather than diminished energy intake.
