Appetite Control

Have you ever wondered how your body controls weight? How your body knows when to eat and when to stop eating? What happens inside the body to tell you are hungry or full?

The answer to each of these questions is your appetite control system: a complex set of chemicals among your brain, nervous system, metabolic hormones, special fat cells, and immune system. These chemical interchanges tell you whether or not you need food and compel you to eat. One of the major reasons people gain extra weight is that their appetite control system is out of balance. The chemical interaction among the various systems in the body that tell them when they are hungry have been disrupted . When our stomachs are empty, we have hormones that tell our body and brain we are hungry. Our brain then prepares the stomach to receive something good. When we eat, food enters the stomach and releases more hormones, preparing it for digestion. This process occurs without our awareness. When this process is out of balance, it causes problems on our system. We get hungry after we’ve just eaten, we store fat when we should burn it, our body starts ignoring the normal control signals for appetite, and the result is weight gain and disease.

Our appetite control system has four basic parts. They are:

• The wiring of your nervous system: The autonomic nervous system or wiring connecting the brain, gut and fat cells
• Weight control hormones: Metabolic hormones, including the hormones and molecules made by your fat cells
• Command central messengers: Messenger molecules of the immune system called cytokine, produced in the fat cells with wide-ranging effects

The key to controlling our appetite is learning how to create harmony among all the parts of our metabolism that make up the appetite regulation system. To help us create harmony in our hormones,  we have to turn on genes that make us lose weight, and control our appetite. To keep our appetite in balance , here are some foods that you need to avoid wherever possible.
