You want this restrained here. Faster is worse for fullness.
In depth
Gastric emptying — the rate at which a meal leaves the stomach. Slower emptying means fullness lasts longer and glucose arrives more gently.
What drives it
Fullness hormone (CCK) reduces it.
PMC423501 — L-trp at the higher dose stimulates CCK release (p = 0.0018), and induces a significant retardation in gastric emptying (p = 0.0033) ... an effect that could be mediated by CCK. PMID 27875537 · PMC423501
What it drives
It reduces Curbs appetite.
Gastric distention, delayed gastric emptying ... are among mechanisms of fibers in decreasing hunger and prolongation of satiety. 10.1093/ajcn/nqab418. doi 10.1093/ajcn/nqab418
It increases Blood-sugar support.
intragastric and intraduodenal administration of the bitter tastant quinine similarly lowered plasma glucose, increased plasma insulin and GLP-1, and slowed gastric emptying. 10.1093/ajcn/nqab418. doi 10.1093/ajcn/nqab418
It increases Appetite & sugar hormone.
The current data also demonstrate an enhancement in the postprandial GLP-1 response to the lunch following gastric treatment and to the later snack following duodenal targeting of hop extract. 10.1093/ajcn/nqab418. doi 10.1093/ajcn/nqab418
