Appetite is the psychological desire to eat. It differs from hunger, which is the physiological need to eat food. In other words, appetite has more of an emotional component, whereas hunger is more physical. Appetite regulation is a very complex mechanism in which the brain, digestive system, fat deposits, genetic, environmental and psychological factors, and food characteristics are all involved. A low-calorie diet is one that relies on daily calorie restriction, or the reduction of amounts in general, and not on restricting specific types of food.
A genetic study has demonstrated a correlation between a variant in the FTO gene and the decreased appetite associated with a hypocaloric diet.
