Staying hungry is actually making you fatter rather than slim

Most people think that staying hungry for longer periods is going to make them thinner but that’s a myth. It may work for some of you depending upon the body type and your genetics but it cannot be universally true. Because losing or gaining weight does not totally depend upon the amount of food you take in daily. Instead, it’s more dependent upon the timings of your food intake. Schedule matters the most. I am going to tell you some important facts regarding losing or gaining weight, which nobody has ever told you before.

People are always debating about the fact that either losing weight is harder than gaining weight or vice versa. But, the truth is, if you follow a proper instruction and somehow manage to set your timetable, then neither of them is going to cost you any trouble.

How does that actually work?

The whole regulation of metabolism of your body fat is controlled by your brain. When you aren’t eating enough food according to a proper schedule and you are putting hours of gap between two frequent meals then your Hypothalamus, brain sends signals to your body that “Hey, store that! Store that! I don’t know when the next meal is coming. This person is living in Hunger Town. Just conserve this time so that it can be used in future”. In doing so, your body actually accumulates fat. Less excretion, more accumulation. That’s the rule. Whole scenario is making you fatter rather than slim. Feels odd? Look at the other side of the picture.

When you are eating frequent meals rich in fats and carbs, you are putting on more mass and getting bulkier than before because you are eating more than your body needs at the moment. Even the extra Amino Acids are converted into fats which are accumulated. Now doesn’t it seem like you are trapped and there is no way out?

The solution to your problem is just adopting a simple way of dieting.

1- Eat low calorie diet that has low concentration of fats and carbohydrates.

2- Grab foods rich in proteins.

3- Prefer cucumber, chia seeds, popcorns, meat, fish, berries, egg whites etc.

How does it help in weight loss?

That is a pretty obvious question. The answer lies in a simple biology. Not so simple but let me explain.

When you are eating frequently, for example, after every 2 hours, your hypothalamus sends signals to your body and ask it to increase your metabolism. When it happens, you quickly breakdown your fats and whoops! All the products of digestion is gone to waste because your brain realizes that this person has no shortage of food. Frequent meals are coming and that is why we are going to store a little and excrete at large. Makes sense?

Why Proteins?

Now this is another query that how eating proteins can help you with your weight loss journey. Increased amount of proteins suppresses Ghrelin, a hunger hormone released by your stomach mainly, or small intestine, brain and pancreas. It stimulates hunger and increases appetite. When this hormone is suppressed, the urge to eat is lessened and which in return reduces your food intake and ultimately your weight. Further, your muscles are solely made up of proteins, so they help in your muscle growth which is exactly what you need. Muscles, yes but fats, no.

That was all the necessary information regarding your weight loss problems. Do not be scared of trying because this isn’t something made up by myself. I am a medical student. And whatever I explained, is based on research and education. Use this sequence, timing and diet. The results will be crystal clear. Trust me on this. Now stop complaining and start acting. Good Luck Fellas!
