Ghrelin is a hormone secreted by the stomach, and like leptin, it acts on the hypothalamus, but ghrelin increases appetite rather than decreases like leptin
The levels of grehlin are regulated through the day and are closely correlated with meal time. Levels of ghrelin are highest just before a meal.
Sudies have shopwn that one of the main reasons people tend to put lost weight back on after a diet is that ghrelin levels increase dramatically after dieting. This causes uncontrollable humger and eventual over-eating.
A hormone called, Peptide YYS-36 is produced by the stomach cells and has the effect of reducing ghrelin secretion.
Lean people tend to produce more of this hormone than obese people. This adds credence to the fact that obesity is more of a metabolic disorder than was first thought.
It may be possible to increase the body's production of Peptide YY3-36 by eating more frequent small meals.
This enables the stomach to have small amounts of food in it through the day which stimulates secretion of Peptide YY3-36 and reduces ghrelin secretion to reduce humger.
In Summary:
Eat small planned meals throught the day, 5 is a good number. Eat in moderation. Use a small bowl or plate, quit with one serving. Choose healthier food in its natural state; not processed with all the enzymes killed. Meta 21 can help you in your weight loss journey by introducing the important enzymes back into your body helping to break down the food and helping you assimilate what you need and getting rid of what you do not need.
