Fattening addiction

Circadian rhythm of serotonin and addiction impulses

The obese do not eat willingly, but compelled by forces addictive than seize them and imposed on carbohydrates at times that more fat. The obese do not eat willingly, but compelled by forces addictive then seize them and imposed on carbohydrates at times that more fat. This behavior, typical of such obese due to oscillations having brain serotonin throughout the day.

This chemical substance has antidepressant effects, and its secretion fluctuates repeatedly every 24 hours, receiving the designation of circadian rhythms, ie rhythms repeated every day.



Serotonin secretion is controlled by two brain regions: the hypothalamus and the pineal gland, also called << the third eye >> running the rhythm of day and night, in accordance with the rays of light and darkness.

Serotonin remains high for much of the night. At dawn, begins a gradual decline and about four in the afternoon, serotonin levels suffer a sharp fall.

As this substance has antidepressant effects that give joy, happiness and tranquility its descent at sunset causes sadness, loneliness, helplessness, anxiety and nervousness.

Inverted diet

The obese have elevated levels of serotonin at dawn, what they dislike and rejection causes breakfast. While the accented decreases serotonin present in the afternoon, increase your appetite and addictive impulses into flour, sweets and chocolates.

these sharp swings in brain serotonin in obese promote a feeding schedule invested. A tendency to eat more before bed before work, is called reverse diet.

Obese are fed to the inverse of hormonal rhythms

The lack of breakfast and a hearty dinner promote obesity

Most obese do not eat breakfast, while others make a very low-protein breakfast like milk, turkey, chicken, etc. Some breakfast only a grapefruit or toast with jam and juice, on the contrary the evening feel more like eating and eat more food when.

Such was the case of Carolina, the only fat six brothers. Unlike waking them always eat in abundance, just breakfasted a grapefruit Carolina. He commented that at that time of day will never feel hungry and that the food caused him nausea and repulsion.

In the afternoon you will work up an appetite, but still ate very measured way, he always wanted to lose weight. She was surprised: <<Why eating so little my weight is increasing day after day?>> Currently has a significantly overweight while his brothers remain thin.

Carolina's error lies in its feeding schedule: was reversed circadian rhythms of hormones energy.

So, in the morning, when foods become more energy, hardly ate Carolina, while bedtime, when food is diverted to fat reserves, was when he ate a greater amount.

Without breakfast increases metabolism and obesity facilitates

The lack of breakfast or breakfast understaffed, produces large swings in blood glucose threatening brain functioning. This records the situation as the beginning of a fast and therefore activates a series of emergency systems designed to restore and maintain blood glucose levels that allow you to extend the overnight fast and survive without the fuel that must be provided for breakfast.

Thus began a massive destruction of muscle proteins, the collagen in the skin and ligaments. These are converted into amino acids and leave the tissues to be converted into glucose in the liver and restored sugar levels again.

Muscle mass deteriorates

Morning rise in cortisol hormone which transforms protein determines energy along morning proteins are used to maintain stable blood glucose levels. Therefore, when the breakfast fails or is very low in protein, the brain is in dire need for its own proteins (muscle, skin collagen and bone ligaments) they are used as fuel in place of breakfast.

When the lack of breakfast is a way of life and it happens on a daily basis, there is a progressive loss of body protein, impaired muscle and ligaments of the bones, causing muscle and bone pain, and generalized weakness . The skin gets rid of collagen thins and loses turgor.



We lose muscle but not fat

Under the energy hormone cortisol is predominant at dawn and in the morning promoting the conversion of proteins, each while reducing the breakfast, the brain has to resort to our own proteins (muscle and skin collagen).

Contrary to what you think fat loss does not occur because the hormone that mobilizes reserve, only rises at night being responsible for the thinning during nighttime sleep. But in the morning this hormone is low and rather skip breakfast to lose weight at the expense of fat cells, we lose muscle mass but noble and fat reserves. For this reason, the obese, which is what usually skip breakfast lose tone and muscle mass. They become weak, but not thin.

Increase fat cells

A very small breakfast that also promotes fat cells increases an enzyme that makes them more eager to collect fat. Thus, the day food is converted directly into the fat cells. Every time we have more fat and less muscle.

Decreases metabolism

In order to preserve the integrity of muscle mass and reduce the destruction of our own proteins that are being used to supplement the lack of breakfast, the brain starts a savings system that allows them to lower energy expenditure or metabolism as mechanism to survive without eating. It follows that if a walk breakfast preceded spend about 100 calories, missing breakfast and spend down metabolism only 30 calories in the same way.

Fasting exercises destroy muscle proteins

Those who have a bad habit of walking or exercise more fasting activate their survival and saving systems. Apart from producing high cardiovascular risk because the morning exercises of fasting, also require further destruction of muscle proteins should not only address the lack of breakfast but also the high demands required by exercising without a contribution pre-fuel. Muscle wasting is increased more and the rest of the day accumulate fat and get fat more easily.

The hearty dinner prevents fat mobilization

At sunset begins the ascent of the lipolytic hormone or HGH that is used as a fuel reserve fat and responsible weight loss or thinning that occurs during sleep at night.

An estimated one person loses weight between 500 and 800 grams during night time sleep. So during the day you gain weight while slimming when sleeping. Everything depends on the amount and type of food you eat during the night.

Obese people often eat meals, cereals, crackers, rice, etc.., Just at night, when the HGH begins its ascent, then, happens to the fuel to be used during night sleep flour is obtained and consumed in dinner and not the fat reserves. So that night not thin. If you eat meals at dinner, night lose weight loss and may even dawn fatter than the night before.

The flour and sweets fatter at dusk

On nights insulin is very inefficient, so the muscular glucose uptake is more difficult at night and if consumed flour based foods, insulin has to drive this glucose into fatty tissue, not muscle .  For this reason the intake of carbohydrates in the afternoon and evening as obese often do not only prevents the mobilization of fat during sleep at night, but also promotes food storage in adipose tissue resulting in weight gain .

In short those who practice reverse diet, lose muscle by the lack of breakfast and gain fat by eating at night. For nighttime carbohydrates rather than increase muscle energy, promote obesity.

Body Mass Index

Various indices to define and assess obesity. The most used is the body mass index (BMI) or Quetelet index. Is calculated by dividing weight in kilos by the square of height in meters. BMI is considered normal between 20 and 25. 25 to 30 is considered overweight. Obesity threshold is set at 30, above 35, is considered severe obesity. These definitions are statistical type and, therefore, are arbitrary and are not always suited to individual cases.

The dangers of obesity

Obesity leads to a decrease in life expectancy. Obese people are at increased risk of cardiovascular events. From a certain degree, obesity also causes respiratory failure: it increases the risk of accidents during procedures requiring anesthesia and predisposes to breathing pauses during sleep. (Sleep apnea). The cancer risk also appears higher in obese. Finally, obesity increases the frequency of gallstones (especially in women) and aggravates osteoarthritis of knee and hip.
