Hunger Hormones sabotage weight loss diet
That people following a weight loss diet quickly recover, the so-called yo-yo effect may be related to the fact that diet, the production of “hunger hormone” which stimulates us to eat more again. This is evident from Australian research published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Fifty overweight ten weeks followed a strict diet low in calories. They lost an average of 10 percent of their weight. Researchers measured before, during and after the diet the levels of two hormones, leptin and ghrelin, which regulate appetite. Ghrelin stimulates the appetite, leptin will make you less likely to fill. The concentrations of both hormones were one year after the weight loss cure is still higher than the cure. In order to obtain lasting weight loss it is important to the increase of hormones that prevent hunger. How to do, tell the researchers. The researchers say it best, in anticipation of the effect of a drug that can neutralize the hunger hormone, to avoid any weight gain.
