“Because we don’t feel full, we may increase the pace and quantity of our food intake, causing the stomach to become overly distended. Without normally functioning satiety cues, we begin to rely on this bloated feeling to know we’ve had enough to eat. In contrast, for a person with normal metabolic function, satiety cues are sensed in the brain first, followed by the stomach.”
