An Appetizer is the first course of a meal, the major function of an appetizer is to stimulate and increase appetite, interest, hunger and prepare you for the main course.
An Appetizer can either undermine or encourage a healthy diet, this is why it is important that an appetizer should not be very hard to eat. It should be light yet tempting, enticing while satisfying. An Appetizer should give you an idea of what the main course would be like.
Scientific research has shown that eating appetizers before the main meal helps with weight loss, this is because appetizers have a way of fooling the stomach's center of satiety which in turn send signals of fullness through the brain center to the stomach.
