Jason Fung: Drink Thick Fluids – Weight Loss Tip 16/50 Hunger Code
Peer-Reviewed Research
Key Takeaways
- Choose thick fluids like soups over thin liquids (e.g., sodas) to stay full longer and reduce hunger signals.
- Add chia seeds to thin fluids to create a gel-like consistency, slowing digestion and lowering insulin response.
- Prioritize thicker fluids to delay nutrient absorption, which helps manage insulin levels and weight gain.
Notable Quotes
“Because [thick fluids] stay in the stomach longer and are more bulky, they signal through the baroreceptors in the stomach to the vagus nerve to our brain that, hey, we’re full.”
Bottom Line
Replace thin liquids with thick fluids (like soups or chia-infused drinks) to enhance satiety, slow digestion, and support weight management.
