The Surprising Effects of Losing Weight on Your Body and Brain
#loseweight #health #healthyfood
Here's what losing weight does to your body and brain. During the first week, you may find it easy to lose weight by simply switching to a healthier diet. But as your metabolism adjusts, you won't burn as many calories as you used to, so losing additional weight will become harder. Making matters worse, as the fat melts away, you'll start to experience an increase in appetite. After a meal, fat cells release a hormone called leptin into the bloodstream. This surge in leptin levels signals to your brain you're full and should stop eating. But with less overall fat, people who lose weight show a measurable dip in leptin. Brain scans of obese patients who had lost 10% of their body weight revealed less leptin leads to increased activity in regions of the brain that control our desire to eat. The end result isn't just an increased appetite, but an even stronger urge to eat fatty, high-calorie foods because your brain is trying to restore the body's leptin levels to normal. However, fighting that early impulse to gorge on pizza and donuts is worth it in the long run.
