Fat Brain

Circadian rhythms or daily oscillations of serotonin are more abrupt in fat than lean people, which modulates addictive impulses toward food and especially to carbohydrates.

At dawn serotonin levels are very high, which causes them great rejection and hatred they feel toward breakfast.

At sunset show a marked decrease in serotonin causes them an irresistible desire or impulse to carbohydrates.

This rejection breakfast and food addiction at sunset is what is called << fat brain >>.

The sweets as antidepressants

The sadness of the sharp drop in serotonin in the evenings immediately reversed when we eat chocolate or other candy.

The bread, sweets and generally all carbohydrates raise serotonin instantly, turn sadness into joy and happiness. It is believed that obese use these antidepressant and sedative properties of the sweets and starches to relieve their worries and anxieties.

Thin people are different, only eat when hungry and not for addiction to flour. No eating comfort their sorrows, in fact at times of stress is at least eat. The thin almost never feel irresistible desire to eat meals; phenomenon when viewed in the obese.

Serotonin is obese antidepressive

Insulin rises when eating sweets or flours, as well as metabolize sugar facilitates entry of tryptophan into the brain. Tryptophan is an amino acid once inside the brain becomes serotonin.

The excessive elevation of insulin that occurs in obese when they consume carbohydrates, also causes a greater rise in brain serotonin and increased antidepressant effect. This perpetuates the addiction that the obese have for meals and sweets.

Among the carbohydrates, chocolates are those which exert a driving better antidepressant effect because insulin crest, and has a high tryptophan content.

Addiction sequence

The sequence of addiction is evident in the story of Rosa, who since childhood has suffered serious problems of obesity. She almost never ate breakfast, then wake up not feeling hungry, even when I saw others experiencing rejection breakfast and nausea.

So great was his aversion to attending the breakfast fasting work. At noon he had no great desire to eat and lunched anything, but at sunset, about four, everything changed; perceived a great unease, a mixture of sadness with anxiety, and a desire for sweets, rolls, biscuits and chocolates.

This impulse addictive nature, which every evening dominated Rosa, was stronger than his desire to lose weight. Meals and delicious treats seemed, took pleasure and tranquility with only try, said that ingesting a << Dulcet returned the soul and joy >>. Moments after eating the treats, calm and happiness were interrupted by feelings of guilt.

Rosa could not understand why he had ingested the fattening foods. He wondered: << what if both want to lose weight, then? ... Why every afternoon I am tempted? Why I've made that mistake? >>.

At dawn the next day he hated the food again. He fasted and promised to herself: << if this afternoon I see a muffin or a chocolate, I'm sure I will not touch >>.

But in the evenings all the promises fade, just as it looked a chocolate into his mouth, and though for a moment he felt pleasure, soon overcame her guilt and worse every day was fatter.

It is clear that Rosa was addictive in a sequence that required her to eat carbs in the evening and that this addiction was responsible for their obesity.

Interrupted their diets abruptly a few weeks after starting them, unfortunately eating candy and cookies. When looked obese again started another diet, but also eating meals left as untimely. Rosa always had the suspicion that diets exacerbate their addiction for sweets.

1. Aversion for breakfast

In obese morning the high serotonin levels promote a rejection breakfast.

When you wake up feeling nauseated, disgusted and repulsed by food. This repulsion is why many obese morning decided at that time to not eat all day.

Not imagine that four Evening at things can change.

2. Sadness and addiction at sunset

Serotonin in the obese suffer a marked decrease at sunset.

Displayed a sense of sadness, depression and anxiety, along with an intense and uncontrollable desire to eat meals and sweets.

At this time, the only see candy or chocolate gives them an attraction so intense that forced to eat, even against your desire to lose weight.

3. Pleasure

Once ingested Dulcet, brain serotonin amounts immediately, then feel pleasure, anxiety disappears, sadness turns to joy, peace and quiet. Not surprisingly some call serotonin << the key to paradise >>.

4. Fault

But all is pleasure ... because once that serotonin has reached high levels in the brain, addictive forces disappear and then begin the unanswered questions: << because I take the sweet mouth?>> but unfortunately by then it's too late.

5. The next day

Upon waking, serotonin is elevated again and then say: << Tonight, if I see a bread, candy or chocolate, I'm sure I will not eat >>.

Pero una cosa es lo que dicen en la mañana, cuando la serotonina se encuentra elevada, y otra cosa muy diferente ocurre al atardecer, cuando los niveles de serotonina descienden.

Addiction is exacerbated by diet

Addiction is compounded when the obese begin a low calorie diet, which usually also low in carbohydrates.

As is the case with Rosa that when you start a diet, the forces that forced her to eat sweets and treats at sunset were becoming stronger and irresistible, a diet low in flour and sweet accentuated the decrease in serotonin, dilating addiction and the desire to eat meals and sweets.

When towards a low-carb diet, the desire to eat meals, chocolates or candies are intensified and it was difficult to control, so that even without seeing the flour or candy, it would pursue and diet abruptly broke binge eating at all what prohibited.

The results of carbohydrate restricted diets are disappointing because in the end, as with Rosa, all leave the diet, regain their weight and end up more addicted and more overweight than before the diet.

Obesity acquired

In this section we can cite the localized fat that is implanted in the thighs, breasts, female pelvis. Obesity of married women, mainly.

There are psychological and environmental causes of obesity, local or general, such as "Stay widowed," or widow marital discord (infidelity, jealousy) meter loving nun family dislikes of economic, sexual impotence, trouble with parents because groom, marital separation, anger courtship, husband flees from home with another woman suspected husband illegitimate children, an abortion for not wanting a child, etc.., etc.. "

Other causes puberty, pregnancy, mining operations and matrix ovaries, menopause, menstrual disorders, breastfeeding.

A grief, simple concerns or insomnia, cause catastrophic fats. The strangest of these cases was reported by a medical specialist hospital in Paris, who had occasion to examine a 27 year old who started gaining weight in dramatic circumstances. Without knowing just drive, hit a tree with the car of his uncle, who had taken surreptitiously from the garage.

Filled with terror, abandoning the remains of the car on the road and took refuge in a shelter, where he remained hidden for four days, after which he saw with amazement that his clothing had been narrow and impossible to fasten your trousers. Six weeks later, weight had increased dramatically, and he kept gaining weight.

It seems, therefore, that regardless of the food consumed in moderation or excess, sometimes our body follows its own "fancy" for it somehow.

"Despite the regime, my body does what it wants", complain many.

It should, however, remember first of all that modern studies have shown that severe dietary restriction always makes losing weight an obese, like every individual, thin or thick, whatever the cause and the mechanism of its fat. Does this mean that obesity is linked solely to an imbalance mathematician, a balance between inputs and food calorie drinks? If so overeating and a sedentary lifestyle would be solely responsible for obesity.

There is in this view a good deal of truth, because in times of scarcity, the chubby and obese weight decrease in majority, but extremely variable number of kilos as individuals.

All statistics bear this out. Conversely, a forced feeding well assimilated and makes us fat. However, not all are equal before obesity. In normal life, an obese has its weight, it can not exceed, each slim figure has its limits.

Fatness in childhood

No doubt that in children, the fat usually set sometimes hereditary. We talked about it. Many babies born normal without excessive weight, are usually obese to reach school age. According to doctors, even 60 100 cases of obesity is the "fatness of children", although that term often hidden rickets, hypothyroidism, adipose-genital dystrophy or other disease.

Some authors, like Freud and Bruch, place great importance on family atmosphere. For years it has been shown that obese children are great eaters, and this should be due to some underlying reasons. Bruch does not rule out organic factors of obesity, but as a whole, will disappoint, the abandoned and left with a real phenomenon and obvious: overfeeding.

Making a debriefing parents of obese children, is a series of results so uniform that target a social misfit and a feeling of insecurity. This imbalance explains their behavior with respect to food. Food is the only satisfaction allows attaching a moral state of emotional development. Is overeating a break to anxiety and justification to life. In this way overcome the frustrations of social isolation and emotional deprivation.

The behavior of parents is very important. The passivity and indifference of the father contrasts with the predominant role of the mother in the family, and often on maternal position is simply an attempt to mask an underlying hostility and offset a lack of affection.

"This climate creates a state of emotional stress on the child, and to stimulate the hypothalamic hyperphagia arises, ie the excessive desire to eat."

Parents must learn to know the value of food and help your child set new rules (in some cases beginning with watch them themselves) to help you eat with logic. Many children who do not know what the vegetables, fish or fresh fruit, and only eat bacon, eggs, meat, starches and above all, lots of candy and bread. So easy fatten quickly, even at the expense of the proper functioning of the liver or kidney.

Very important is exercise, it is curious to observe how these obese children tend to reduce weight in summer (season sports) and get it back again in cold weather.

We suggest that childhood obesity is corrected and that a study be made of the fat, in case it might be a real disease, before it reaches the age of puberty, for at that time can already be established permanently, not forgetting, addition to the child, after fourteen years passed and to be regarded as an adult in terms of medical treatment is concerned.

Control addictive chemical, circadian Rhythms

Addiction by flour is the major cause of obesity. Therefore, the diet should focus on the control of this addiction.

The diet should control the attraction for sweets and starches

It is thought that abnormal oscillations brain serotonin are the essence of addiction and the root cause that leads an individual to obesity.

In this context, it is completely unrealistic to think that an obese can meet long-term low calorie diet that does not control the forces much less addictive than it can solve, in an extended period, a problem so complete.

The obese, without doubt, is an addict. Explain that she should eat less, it is not in fact the obese do not eat because you want to, but because it forces dominate addictive. If this addiction is not controlled, the patient does not meet the diet as addictive forces eventually push him to eat sweets and starches.

Restrictive diets, do not include the consumption of sweets or chocolates and other foods necessary to maintain high serotonin and control the addiction. For these reasons, for the obese diet must be directed toward the control of addiction and the forces which push eat.

Similar to the treatment of an alcoholic

As in the alcoholic, the treatment goal is not to explain that liquor is bad because he already knows, but when you see a beer, do not resist and takes it. The treatment in this case should not make the liquor taunted.

Similarly, the diet has to make afternoon when the obese observe a flour, bread or chocolate do not feel any attraction or desire to eat. You look at these foods with indifference, like plastic. Only then can we expect good long-term results.

Addiction control

It has been found that sadness, anguish and unbridled desire to eat meals or sweets that occurs at sunset, is controlled when we eat carbohydrates or sweets in the morning. This effect occurs because the morning intake of carbohydrates, and especially from chocolates, maintains high serotonin levels throughout the day.

If prevented from falling evening are lessened impulses to the flours.

Moreover antidepressant effects, joy and sedation that occurs when we eat bread small sweet or in the evenings, do not happen in the morning. We just feel we've eaten a meal or a sweet, without all the connotations and without antidepressant link with flour when ingested at sunset.

Besides sweets in the morning, are perceived as less tasty than in the evenings.

All this changes our mental diagram on small sweet, because at sunset and not look so longingly no longer remember them as being very tasty, nor associate with any antidepressant or sedative effect. We nonchalantly sweets and we become << less confectioners >>.

Remember that no eating chocolates and sweets because he decided to get fat, but because it induces addictive force this behavior, hence, control of that addiction should be the main goal of the diet.

Addiction control guaranteed to be permanently thin

Addiction is the main reason why a person eats food at night so fattening. If addiction continues, sooner or later not hold out, will eat cookies and get fat again. Just to feel like eating a cookie at sunset is a warning sign that the diet does not meet its main goal: control of addiction.

No matter how fast the kilos lost, or how losing weight, you continue with the desire to eat the evening meal suggests that carbohydrate addiction has not been eradicated and announces that it will be fat again.

Never underestimate the addiction to carbohydrates

This addiction has led many people to be extremely obese, seriously jeopardizing their health and life.

Rest assured that none of them got fat on purpose, not eating bread at night saying << good, I eat because I want to be fat >>.

The evening meal they eat do addictive pushed by forces, knowing that with this are risking their lives. Only this diet to control addiction to flour assures us that never will return to obesity.

The hormone that thins during night time sleep, HGH

Sunlight that directs our hormonal rhythms determined by nightfall rises hormone use our fat reserves as fuel.

This hormone, HGH, Growth hormone also called, dusk rises and reaches its maximum secretion at midnight. In addition to stimulating growth in children, this hormone mobilizes our fat stores during sleep at night.

HGH is responsible for that at dawn we weigh around a kilo less than the night before. At sunset begins the ascent of HGH, the hormone that uses fat reserves. Thus we have our weight rises during the day, while thinned overnight and even if you exercise, walk or jog, will be the same.

 If not sleeping, do not slim, HGH amounts in the dark of night but falling asleep is when your peak is really significant. The maximum elevation of this hormone occurs in the first two hours of sleep at night, so between midnight and one o'clock occurs a peak of secretion.

Right now is when are encouraged mobilization of reserve fat and promotes weight loss overnight.

The HGH rises less in those who lie after midnight and so slim less. While those who do not sleep, either suffering from insomnia or because they have a night job, HGH shows no elevation and at least tonight he will lose weight at all.

For these reasons, the owls tend to be fatter, as well as those operating late into the night. Day after day they gain weight, not lose it at night so fat during the day.

Also facilitates defenses: HGH hormone, mobilizes fat besides also activates the immune system by promoting the white blood cells and bacteria attack malignant cells and thus facilitates the formation of antibodies. In other words, the nocturnal rise in HGH enhances defense against cancer and infections.

 Thinning flours slow night: The design hormone that encourages the mobilization of fat from the abdomen and legs during sleep could be altered by eating sugar or carbs at dinner. The meal in the evening hours hinder the action of HGH and oppose the mobilization of fat.

Additionally, cookies, breads, cereals, arepas, etc.., Ingested at night are more fat converted into energy for the evening insulin is inefficient and instead of driving sugar from the flour to the muscles, leads to adipose tissue. By eating carbs at night, not just lose it overnight thinning can even gain weight.

Moreover, the exaggerated insulin spikes that induce a dinner with sugar or flour, are also responsible for the increase in triglycerides and blood pressure in the next night.

If those with high blood pressure eat carbohydrates at night, often waking up with bloodshot eyes, seeing stars, with ringing in the ears, neck discomfort and other symptoms indicative of an increase in blood pressure.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Obesity

Obesity is excess body fat, which leads to a too high weight. Increased predisposition to many diseases and reduces life expectancy.

In normal conditions the human body is constituted, in part, by fat. They serve as an energy reserve and stored in adipose tissue cells or adipose, they are called adipocytes. In many people, there is excess fat stored, giving rise to excessive weight. Depending on the importance of this excess, speaking of overweight (slightly higher weight) or obesity (weight too high).

Forms

Obesity can start from childhood or adulthood appear. Some obese have eating disorders. In some cases it may detect a specific triggering event, which is followed by a rapid increase in weight. In other situations, Obesity is becoming progressively, for years. Adipose tissue is distributed differently from one person to another. According to the body area dominated, there are two types of obesity:

Obesity ginecoide. Manifested by fatty deposits located in the lower body (buttocks, hips and legs). Is presented, especially in women.

Android Obesity. Characterized by fatty deposits which are found in the trunk and the abdomen. This form of obesity is accompanied by an excess of fat inside the abdomen, around the gut. It typically male. It is the most seriousbecause it can cause a variety of complications: for example, diabetes, excess cholesterol, hypertension and cardiac and vascular accidents.

Causes

There are three important factors that may be at the origin of obesity:

Hereditary factors. Children whose parents are obese are more at risk of being than children whose parents are of normal weight. Moreover, the importance and distribution of fat tissue are determined by genetic factors. Different aspects of the assimilation of food by the body and behavior that predisposes to obesity (p. for example., likes food and fat storage capacity) also have, in part, a genetic. The investigation of the genetic factors responsible for obesity is still in its infancy. at least 20 different genes appear to be associated with it.

Dietary factors. To become obese, overeating necessary regarding the energy requirements or consuming too much fat in relation to the ability to use. This excess supply is enhanced by the quantity and nature of food available, but also by family and cultural habits that lead to eating beyond satiety. The evolution of lifestyles in industrialized countries is manifested by an increase in consumption of sugars and especially fat. Simultaneously acquiring welfare (lifts, transport and heating) helps reduce physical activity and energy expenditure.

Psychological factors. Depression, anxiety often occur, as compensation, a tendency to overeat or decrease the degree of activity.Depression, anxiety often occur, as compensation, a tendency to overeat or decrease the degree of activity.

Diet   

Obesity treatment is to maintain a balanced diet that limits the intake of calories (decrease fat intake and often sugars). This diet should be accompanied by information and nutrition education. Strict diets produce quick weight loss, but do not give the best long-term results.

Obesity is a difficult disease to treat and relapses are frequent. Treatment requires active participation of the patient, you should get medical care and long-term monitoring. Before starting the treatment, the doctor and the patient set a goal, you must be realistic and that is usually less than what the patient wants. but even moderate (the order of 10 to 15% of initial weight), any thinning is beneficial to the health of obese and significantly decreases the risk of obesity-related diseases.
