Eat Fats to Quell Your Hunger
So, let me get this straight....I can eat more fat, yet not be as hungry and thus I won't eat as much as I may normally eat?
According to the folks are RealAge, that is true. The kicker here is that you have to eat the right kinds of fat. Sticks of butter, buckets of ice cream and tubs of fried food....not the right kind of fat. Those are saturated fats and they can actually trigger you to eat more than you want or need.
You want the "long liquid fats". Where do you find those fats? Where else, but in the healthiest of foods.
Good sources include fatty fish (salmon, trout), nuts and seeds (walnuts, flax), and plant-based foods (avocado, olive oil).

And what else can these fats do for you?
According to John La Puma, MD, author of ChefMD's Big Book of Culinary Medicine, these fats have lots of carbon molecules adding to their length. More importantly, they produce cholecystokinin (CCK) -- a lovely hormone that tells your brain, "You're full now. You can stop eating."
