Ever eaten too much and felt uncomfortably full? You might assume high-calorie foods are to blame, but cutting-edge research reveals it's not that simple.
Dr. Guido Camps, a renowned satiety expert with a PhD from Wageningen University (and familiar to some from the Dutch baking show Heel Holland Bakt), has delved deep into what truly drives that satisfied feeling.
In his studies, participants consumed shakes balanced at 50% carbohydrates, 30% fats, and 20% proteins—but with varying textures. One was thick like yogurt with just 100 calories; another was thin like milk packing 500 calories.
MRI scans post-consumption showed a striking result: the thick, lower-calorie shake stretched the stomach less yet delivered a stronger, longer-lasting sense of fullness.
