Not everyone has heard of the biological clock diet, but it's a healthy and fast way to lose weight. Ladies who want to know how to lose weight should read carefully about what the biological clock diet is.
I. What is the biological clock?
The most easily associated biological clock is time zone, which is a 24-hour cycle, so you naturally want to sleep at night; another biological clock cycle is a woman's menstrual period, which occurs once a month.
Many people may not know that dietary habits are also a kind of biological clock, similar to the biological clock of women and the biological clock of sleep. They are all cycles controlled by the brain, with the headquarters located in the hypothalamus. For example, the hormone secretion of a woman's menstrual cycle is controlled by the hypothalamus. The pituitary gland stores many hormones of the body's endocrine system. Hormones secreted by the pituitary gland can reach the whole body, such as the thyroid and adrenal glands that control metabolism. The female reproductive organs, such as the ovaries and uterus, secrete so-called estrogen and progesterone, which cause a woman's menstrual cycle.
Therefore, the physiological cycle is mainly controlled by the endocrine feedback system, commonly known as the biological clock. In the biological clock of eating, the anorexia center is controlled by the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus, which controls our eating. When blood sugar rises, it stimulates the PVN in the anorexia center of the hypothalamus, which in turn commands the pituitary gland to secrete hormones into the blood. These hormones then flow to the pancreas, where they secrete insulin to control blood sugar metabolism. When blood sugar drops to a certain level, it causes a feeling of hunger. Therefore, people's feelings of fullness and hunger are closely related to the level of blood sugar. This cyclical feedback system, like the menstrual cycle in women and the sleep cycle in people, has its own timetable.
Therefore, the physiological cycle of obese people is usually fixed. Their brains are already set on how much to eat at each meal and how much insulin to secrete. Even when they don't eat, insulin is secreted at fixed times. The amount of insulin is secreted according to the usual needs. This explains why people who eat irregularly or binge eat at irregular times have their insulin secretion system disrupted. Because it is irregular, they are more prone to obesity.
