According to my understanding, hunger is a feeling experienced when the 
glycogen level of the liver falls below a threshold which then results in a 
desire to eat. I wish to know if there is another way in which you can raise 
the glycogen level above the threshold other then eating food.. for example, 
is it possible to have a tablet which contains something so that you no longer 
feel hungry and you are still have the correct nutrients in your body?.. what 
would the tablet need to contain if this was possible? Your response and view 
will be highly appreciated and even more if you could reply directly via 
email. Thank you.
