Omega-3 fat intake found to be associated with greater satisfaction from food

One of the keys to successful weight loss is, I think, to eat a diet based on foods that are truly effective in satisfying the appetite (not all foods are). In the past, satisfaction from food has been associated with glycaemic index (the lower the better) and protein (the more the better). Recently, though, research has come to light that suggests that  the so-called omega-3 fats found in oily fish such as mackerel, salmon and sardine, may be beneficial in this respect too.
