Weight Loss

Weight Loss

We all have the same problem: Fat amasses very easily and it is hard to lose.

Storing fat used to be essential for survival, and fat is a great storage medium for energy. Throughout history, we have relied on our body fat to survive numerous famines and starving periods of time.

Nowadays, the ability of our bodies to store fat easily can defeat permanent weight loss. Let’s understand how fat cells work and why it is so difficult to lose weight permanently.

Existing fat cells fill up when your body takes in more energy than you spend. And it does not matter if you are eating fat or starch or sugar: All extra calories go into fat storage. When the fat cells you already hold are filled, the body develops new fat cells, a natural process with no limits.

Especially if you are stressed, building up fat cushions is often comfortable. But the most serious threat to permanent weight loss is: Existing fat cells won’t be destroyed. You can reduce the quantity of fat stored in fat cells, but you cannot reduce the amount of existing fat cells.

A Neuropeptide called Leptin is sent to your brain when fat cells are full. As long as the Leptin level in your blood is high, your brain receives the message "no need to eat". When your body’s fat cells become exhausted, the Leptin is gone - and you become hungry.

Let’s be responsible and face the truth: If you want to lose weight permanently, you’ll have to live with a light feeling of hunger most of the time. This might be a challenge for some people and you need to remember the goals you have set yourself

So, when you start planning your lifestyle changes to lose weight, keep balance in mind to keep you healthy both physically and mentally.
