“There’s nothing new about taking in fewer calories to lose weight. What is new in fighting the battle of the bulge is a diet weapon that reduces calorie intake by managing hunger. — It’s called ’satiety.’ Not exactly a word that rolls off your tongue (pronounced ’sa-TIE-atee’). It’s a diet and nutrition buzzword for the state of feeling full, one word in a new vocabulary that includes terms such as ‘energy density,’ ’sensory-specific satiety’ and ‘volumetrics.’ If you’ve ever wondered why you fill up on a bowl of oatmeal but can eat three doughnuts before feeling satisfied, the reason is the comparative satiety levels of these foods.” (03/30/06)
