Fat and Satiety

The slow digestion of fat allows for the gradual release of energy so that there is no need for the liver and adipose tissue to synthesize fat. This slow digestion of fat also helps the body to absorb more of the nutrients that are along with the fat. Excess fat intake, however, results in storage of that excess ingested fat in the adipose cells all over the body. Of course, if there is an adequate intake of the natural fats found in whole foods most people will have good satiety and then they are less likely to overeat.
