6.2 Hunger and Satiety Index
Human Fat-Based Metabolism
This page is structured as definition, control variables, causal chain, observable outputs, and boundary, and serves as a canonical definition node in Human FBM.
Hunger and satiety volatility reflect energy-release rhythm, insulin occupancy, fatty-acid availability, and meal structure rather than appetite emotion alone.
Human FBM requires separating “stable fatty-acid fueling” from “low-energy stress-driven appetite change.”
Exogenous carbohydrate input frequency and insulin occupancy set hunger-volatility baseline.
Fatty-acid availability and fat-protein structure determine inter-meal satiety duration.
Total energy level and adaptation phase determine whether hunger decline reflects structural stability.
Sleep, training, and electrolyte state also influence hunger-satiety readings.
When occupancy declines with sufficient energy, inter-meal hunger usually weakens and satiety duration extends.
If total energy is insufficient, hunger decline may reflect stress suppression rather than fatty-acid steady state.
Stable structure commonly shows lower hunger volatility, weaker intake impulse, and more regular meal rhythm.
Stress states may show appetite dysregulation, intense hunger, or rapid re-hunger after eating.
Loss of appetite does not automatically indicate metabolic steady-state establishment.
