Quote from: "Diet Myths That Keep Us Fat" by Nancy L. Snyderman, M.D.
"Nothing sabotages a diet like hunger. When we eat less, however, we may feel hungry, and most of us cannot resist hunger for too long. That's why the average weight-loss diet lasts for less then three weeks. But if you're not hungry it is easier to stick with your eating plan."
"Enter olive oil and other healthy unsaturated fats. They contain a fatty acid that helps keep the body satisfied and makes it possible to prolong the time between meals. Consuming a small amount of foods rich in these oils activates an appetite control switch in the brain. Because these oils are so effective in turning off your appetite, you only need a small amount (less than a tablespoon) to keep your appetite under control."
