Incredibly Filling

Potatoes are not only healthful, but they are also quite satisfying. In one research, 11 adults were offered 38 popular dishes and asked to score their fillingness. Potatoes had the greatest fullness rating of all. Potatoes were shown to be seven times more filling than croissants, which were found to be the least filling food item.

Filling foods can help you control or reduce weight by alleviating hunger. Some data suggest that a potato protein called potato proteinase inhibitor 2 (PI2) might suppress hunger. This protein appears to boost the production of cholecystokinin (CCK), a hormone that induces feelings of fullness. According to studies, potatoes are one of the most satisfying foods. They may raise levels of fullness hormones such as cholecystokinin (CCK).
