Overeating is one of the biggest causes of obesity. Losing weight is easy if you can effectively overcome hunger and control your appetite. Check out these tips!
The feeling of hunger is perhaps the most difficult part of the weight loss process. Therefore, if you can reduce the feeling of hunger, the chances of reaching your target weight will greatly increase.
The reason people feel hungry is primarily based on a natural physiological response: when the amount of combustible elements (glucose) in the blood is insufficient, the body's physiological mechanisms automatically notify the hunger center located in the pituitary gland, causing a feeling of hunger. However, "hunger" is only the most direct feeling when blood sugar drops; it doesn't mean the body's energy reserves are depleted. Even if you don't eat, the body's physiological mechanisms will find their own way, drawing on glycogen and adipose tissue stored in the liver and muscles, as well as protein in the muscles. However, converting these fuels into glucose and transporting them into the bloodstream takes time. If strenuous exercise or some other reason causes a sharp drop in blood sugar, and energy replenishment is urgently needed, the glucose may not be delivered in time, potentially leading to dizziness or even fainting.
Overcoming hunger can be divided into two levels. First, how to minimize the feeling of hunger, because once hunger becomes unbearable, it's very difficult to overcome cravings. Second, how to endure hunger without feeling weak, dizzy, or experiencing the danger of low blood sugar. Undeniably, maintaining a feeling of complete fullness during weight loss is almost impossible; feeling slightly hungry is inevitable. The key is to keep this feeling within the safe range of normal physiological function and minimize the sensation of hunger.
In addition, people who consistently have large appetites experience an increase in stomach capacity due to the constant presence of food. This necessitates a larger intake of food for the satiety receptors located in the stomach wall to send a satiety signal back to the brain. Over time, this leads to a persistent feeling of hunger unless sufficient food is consumed, resulting in a consistently large appetite and making weight loss difficult. However, training oneself to tolerate slight hunger and eating only until 70% full can gradually reduce stomach capacity, decrease food intake, and decrease the frequency of hunger pangs. This, in turn, makes weight loss relatively easier.
