Weightloss in a healthy way

Article Category: Advice

Author Name: Anthony from Ideal weight loss

If only appetite and hunger was actually the same thing; no one would be obese or too thin. We would all consume the precise quantity of food to please our hunger and take the right amount of nutrients to provide the correct amount our body demands to sustain life.

If you want to eat something because it looks nice, smells good and tastes delicious, your appetite is in the driving seat. Nevertheless, when you want to eat something because your tummy is rumbling, and you feel the need for food, then your hunger drive is now working. This is the basic distinction between appetite and hunger.

It is quite a big difference because it is not hunger that makes you overindulge, but appetite. In the same way you might actually be hungry and need food, your appetite can stop you eating and so the body's desires are not fulfilled. This happens in some diseases and in a condition such as anorexia nervosa, where the person becomes fanatical with dieting.

Subsequently, it seems that the body's way of letting us know our food requirements is via hunger, but it seems that appetite sometimes impedes this process, not letting the body get the right amount of nourishment. In this case, what is the reason for having an appetite, where does it come from, and are there times when it has a really useful role to play?

Developing an appetite

When a baby is born, one of the very innate things they sense is the need for food. In most cases, this need is fulfilled with milk from the mother's breast or from a bottle. At this stage in the baby's life, they show no real liking for any type of food.
The baby will cry when hungry and be relaxed and grinning, once fed. It is only later that infants will learn what foods they really like.

With this learning, the growing child's appetites are gradually developing. It is because human beings are so complex that we have such different appetites and likes for different foods.
It is fascinating to note that in countries that do not share our regular diet, things that we think about to be absolutely inedible are thought to be delicious delicacies. It is also quite revealing that in countries where there is starvation, people do not get the chance to display their appetites and are hungry enough to eat almost anything to keep them alive.

Appetite is the regulator of our daily food intake, and thus the eventual regulator, of how much we weigh. Because of this, many researchers are very interested in precisely what controls the appetite, and they have found that it is quite a complicated process.
In most people, when the appetite is satisfied, eating stops. It is what causes this that is so interesting. It might seem obvious that when you are full you stop eating, but experiments have shown that it is not just a full stomach that tells the brain to stop. For instance, it has been found that there is a hormone produced by the intestines that signals the brain to stop eating.
Other signals come from the concen¬tration of nutrients in the blood, the amount of food that has passed through the mouth and the degree of fullness of the stomach.

All these signals are picked up by an area of the brain called the hypothalamus.
Scientists have discovered that there are two separate areas in the hypothalamus that are in command of eating. One of them will control eating and the other controls satiety, or the satisfaction of appetite. The name given to these two areas together is the appestat.

So, all these signals go to the appestat and when there are enough from the areas that are concerned with eating, the appestat tells the brain that the body has had enough and eating stops. This all sounds very simple, but, unfortunately, it does not always work quite like this. If it did, no one would be overweight or too thin, but this is obviously not the case.

One theory for this is that fat people or those that eat more than they need, have an appestat that is set top high. In other words, the regulatory system fails to tell the brain to stop eating soon enough.

The opposite is true for thin people and they stop eating too soon. Even so, this theory does not take into account any of the other reasons for being either over or underweight.
It has been found that fat people are more likely to eat when they see food in front of them, while a person with normal weight will only eat when hungry. Furthermore, fat people pay more attention to the taste of food.

A normal weight person seems to care less about the food than the fact that they are taking in fuel to keep the body running.

Therefore, at mealtimes fat people will eat out of habit and eat more than they need, if the food tastes good, and normal weight people will eat only enough to satisfy their hunger, without really caring too much about what the food actually tastes like.
But, again, this does not take account of things like eating binges that all people who are overweight know about only too well. Moreover, people eat for a number of reasons that have nothing to do with food taste or the regularity of mealtimes.

A lot of theories put forward say that people eat to compensate for some frustration, or because they are bored and lonely and termed comfort eating. Everyone who has raided the fridge in the middle of the night will know that they are really doing it because they want to gain some sort of emotional satisfaction and comfort from the physical act of eating and certainly not to relieve any need for food or satisfy hunger. www.idealweightloss.co
