Scientific study says just smelling olive oil makes you feel full!
We are all learning the tremendous health benefits of adding extra virgin olive oil to your diet.
But did you realize that Galilee Green Olive Oil can help you lose weight? and not feel hungry?
We recently received this wonderful post from Michelle in Alabama…
I love cooking with Galilee Green olive oil. I use it all the time. My husband and I decided to start eating more clean and healthy. Tonight I made mixed fresh vegetables sautéd in olive oil and Baked Perch. In two weeks since January 1 we have lost 25 pounds and never feel hungry. Thank you Galilee Green.

Part of the reason it is easy to shed pounds by adding olive oil to your menu are the benefits of a low-carb, high-fat (LCHF) diet.
But researchers in Germany found that just SMELLING the aroma of olive oil will make you feel full and consequently consume fewer calories!! They suspect the full feeling is due to two aromatic compounds in olive oil. Both compounds slow the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream. “When glucose is absorbed quickly, it can cause a rapid rise in blood sugar—and in turn, a rapid decrease,” says Susan Bowerman, assistant director for the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition. “If a food can slow that absorption down, the ‘crash’ is avoided and there is an increased feeling of satiety.”
As crazy as it sounds, it’s true. Here’s an article.
