THIS hormone tells your body to EAT
Published: Fri, 07/28/17
Hunger is the single biggest threat to achieving an ideal physique…
Your body doesn’t like change. It likes to stay the same. When we try to make changes, like losing or gaining weight, the body responds with various mechanisms to bring stability back.
One of these mechanisms is appetite.
If your body senses it is losing weight your appetite hormones kick in to increase hunger.
Your Body's Hunger Hormone has a clear mission: to tell your body to eat.
And it doesn’t care how loud it shouts.
It is found in the lining of the stomach and reacts to how well you’ve eaten. If your stomach is empty, it's produced.
If you’re on a diet or program that severely restricts calories, you’ll feel the effects of this hormone as the hunger grips you.
The more restrictive your diet, the more hunger hormone is secreted.
And with all those signals firing to your brain to “EAT, EAT, EAT” it’s no surprise when you succumb to the urge to guzzle food and end up over-eating.
In this “hunger state” this hormone sends the body into survival shut down and promotes fat storage . It forces the body to hold onto its fat reserves.
Now, it’s possible to see how this hormone causes you to work against your body when you’re trying to eliminate body fat.
What complicates it further is that levels can be affected by factors other than food. The amount of sleep you have, for instance, can also impact on your levels.
Here’s the thing....
When you have a balanced level of your hunger hormone it can benefit your body.
-Regulates blood sugar-Regulates appetite
-Stimulates growth hormone
-Improves cognitive function
-Improves learning and memory
-Regulates bone formation
-Prevents muscle atrophy
-Improves Cardiovascular
