Eating a clean diet helps you understand the relationship between the taste of food, its volume, and its macronutrient and micronutrient content, which influences feelings of satiation.

@ Andrew Huberman

The brain learns to associate the taste and caloric content of whole foods with feelings of satisfaction, while highly processed foods make it difficult to establish this connection.

The gut has neurons that respond to nutrients, signaling the brain when essential amino acids are consumed, which is crucial for understanding hunger and satisfaction.
