From what I understand fats and proteins in your digestion cause a number of signaling hormones like leptin and probably others to make you feel full. Carbs do not stimulate any of that signaling afaik. A pure carb snack would stimulate zero leptin, for example.

Source? That seems doubtful, given how much of the developing world lives on carb heavy diets.


Carb heavy but also quite heavy in fat too. Unless you have a specific example?
