← Human Body & HealthWhy does the sensation of satiety diminish faster after consuming primarily liquid calories compared to solid foods?
A)Increased gastric emptying of solids
B)Higher insulin response to solids
C)Reduced gut hormone secretion by liquids✓
D)Enhanced leptin production from solids
💡 Explanation
Liquid calories bypass the normal digestive processes that stimulate gut hormone secretion like GLP-1 and cholecystokinin, because the rate of gastric emptying of liquids is faster; therefore, satiety diminishes faster after liquid consumption, rather than solids triggering a sustained hormonal response.
