Fats and Their Effects on Food Intake

Objective: The subject of this paper is the fats and their effects on food intake. Methods: Through the compilation method, scientific studies on fats and nutrient intake were combined, synthesized and evaluated. Conceptual information about the subject has been transferred.Results: Obesity is a chronic disease that is becoming more widespread throughout the world and Turkey. A common condition in obese individuals is the impairment of appetite metabolism and changes in fasting-satiety responses. Satiety and hunger, regulated by a complex interaction of the emitted signal after neurological pathways and nutrient uptake in the gastrointestinal tract. This is also related to the volume of the food and the content of the macronutrient. A better understanding of the effect of dietary intake on nutrient intake and fasting-satiety metabolism also plays an important role in the fight against obesity.Conclusion: The role of fats in satiety is controversial. It is generally stated that it plays a less toughening role than proteins or carbohydrates. Data from various studies show that there is a toughness hierarchy in the form of protein> carbohydrate> fat among the three main macronutrients. Recent studies have shown that the fatty acid composition of the diet, the chain length and the degree of unsaturation may also affect the physiological responses and satiety feelings in the body. Therefore, understanding the effects of fats on nutrient intake and appetite plays an important role in the fight against obesity.
