Fat Does Not Fill You Up

I learnt on my course the other day that fat does not fill you up. When you eat food your stomach stretches and this sends a signal to you that you are full. There are also hormones released to tell the brain to stop eating. It did not explain why, but it said that fats do not fill you up. This explains why when you eat fatty foods, you want more and more. Your brain is not getting the 'full' message and so wants you to keep eating.
