Understanding How Nutrients and Eating Habits Influence Satiety: A Review

Abstract Abstract
Background: Restricting food intake and preserving energy balance depend heavily on satiety, the postprandial sensation of fullness that stifles appetite. The macronutrient composition, dietary texture, oral processing habits, and cognitive awareness of satiety cues are some of the variables that influence it. Designing diets that support weight control and healthy eating habits requires an understanding of these variables.
Aim: This review synthesizes evidence on how major nutrients (protein, fiber, fat, carbohydrates) and oral processing of foods affect satiety, with a particular focus on traditional Kashmiri diets and the role of satiety-awareness interventions.
Methods: Using the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, a narrative assessment of peer-reviewed scientific publications, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses was carried out by searching for terms such ‘satiety,’ ‘macronutrients,’ ‘oral processing,’ ‘traditional diets,’ and ‘mindful eating.’
Results: Due to their ability to delay stomach emptying and stimulate anorexigenic gut hormones, protein and dietary fiber consistently exhibit the largest satiety effects (Blundell et al., 2010; Clark & Slavin, 2013). Oral processing variables such as chewing duration and meal texture significantly prolong satiation and influence subsequent intake (Krop et al., 2018; Stribiţcaia et al., 2020). Through a combination of nutritional and sensory factors, traditional Kashmiri foods—which are defined by nutrient-dense composite meals and cooked using traditional methods—probably increase satiety (Abbasi et al., 2022). Interventions including mindful eating increase satiety signal awareness, which helps with portion control and behaviour modification (Kao et al., 2024).
Conclusion: Satiety is significantly influenced by the interaction of nutritional composition, oral processing, and cognitive awareness. Combining satiety-focused behavioural therapies with culturally rooted diets, such as those in Kashmir, offers promising ways to control energy intake and encourage sustainable eating habits.
