Study break. Ghrelin, the major hunger (orixogenic) hormone increases before meals and decreases after meals. Ghrelin is suppressed the most by protein, weakly by fat, & biphasically by carbs (study 2008). @tednaiman @eatlikeanimals https://t.co/VlGGnb3We6 https://t.co/WuDyUjItqX
Acyl and total ghrelin are suppressed strongly by ingested proteins, weakly by lipids, and biphasically by carbohydrates.

What people are saying
The digital discussions demonstrate a high level of agreement and curiosity about the study's findings, with posts highlighting that proteins suppress hunger hormones most effectively, such as in the statement 'Ghrelin is suppressed most by protein, weakly by fat, & biphasically by carbs.' The tone is informational and analytical, using phrases like 'fun fact' and emphasizing the physiological mechanisms, which reflect genuine interest and impact of the research.
Most discussions acknowledge and support the findings of the study, emphasizing the differential effects of macronutrients on ghrelin suppression.
The posts are highly focused on the topic of hunger hormones and diet strategies, showing strong engagement with the subject matter.
Several comments analyze the mechanisms behind ghrelin suppression and discuss implications for diet and health, indicating moderate to deep engagement.
The discussions reflect awareness of how these findings could influence dietary choices and weight management strategies, though they are mostly exploratory.
Abstract in brief
- Ingested proteins strongly suppress ghrelin levels, lipids less effectively, and carbohydrates cause a biphasic suppression, meaning ghrelin levels first decrease then rebound after meals.
- The study found that proteins lead to the greatest reduction in both acyl and total ghrelin levels, followed by carbohydrates, then lipids, which have the least suppressive effect.
- These results support the idea that high-protein, low-carb diets may help promote weight loss by more effectively reducing hunger hormones like ghrelin, while high-fat diets may be less effective in this regard.]

Fun fact: fat suppresses ghrelin (hunger hormone) less than protein or carbs. Carbs suppress it most but then can cause rebound higher levels, whilst protein causes prolonged suppression https://t.co/cKX9PTvvHN Ofc this gets even more complicated irl as we eat food not nutrients

@MathieuBoucha15 And of course, the ultimate blow is not the poor lonely ghrelin, but when it meets quickly dropping BG levels. As it happens after consuming heavily refined carbs. 1. https://t.co/DkmE7uj7Aw 2. https://t.co/4WZJh7aUwB
