I saw an article about popular weight loss drugs today, which said they artificially stimulate the production of hormones in the brain to make people feel "satsified" and "full" (stimulate a feeling of "satiety") with whatever food they've eaten.

I've seen before that people've said certain foods create more satiety than others; the hypothesis goes that more foods that may taste good but lack nutritional value and satiety have been consumed more today, resulting in more overweight and obese people.

One issue is that it doesn't look like a lot of research has been done on what foods create a feeling of satiety; here's one such list of foods but the foods were determined subjectively I think by participants in a study: https://www.diabetesnet.com/food-diabetes/satiety-index/

Does this seem like a useful tool for people to lose more weight, for them to identify and consume more foods with a higher "satiety" than other foods?
