Science and Weight Loss

The latest and greatest in the science world is the new research on overeating. Some researchers say that an excess of a hormone called ghrelin causes hunger and others blame a deficiency of leptin- the satiety hormone. Overeating may be caused because we cannot get satisfied... science are studing how we can fill full longer.

I am sure it won't be long before we will have all kinds of foods and drugs based on this new research. In the mean time, eat Oatmeal---according to "The Satiety Index" published by the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition in September 1995 oatmeal ranks in the top two for most satiating foods.

I read an interesting article published by PRWeb.com called "Psychiatrist Says Favorite Foods in a Weight Loss Plan May Cause Diet Failure" http://www.prweb.com/releases/2005/11/prweb305467.htm

Highlights:

Psychiatrist, Dr. Anthony J. Burlay says: Differentiating between “wants” and “needs” and learning what your body is designed to eat is the key to weight loss.

.....a shift to a permanent change in food choices is the way to sustainable weight loss.

Changes in food choices that meet your body’s needs rather then your wants will, in time, lead to a change in those wants.
