Obesity adjusts hormones and neurotransmitters... but for how long?
I'm suspecting a push towards more weight loss drugs, because this information isn't new. Just... more speculative and market driven.
Obesity changes the brain, with ‘no sign of reversibility,’ expert says
Previous research suggested it could take three years. I guess this "expert" is impatient... because he waited twelve whole weeks. So now, it's permanent.
This whole board refutes that.

Obesity impairs the human brain's ability to detect fullness and feel satisfied after sugar and fat consumption. What's more, the changes may be permanent, explaining why dieting can be a vicious cycle of weight loss and gain.
Researchers in the Netherlands and the US found that adults with medical obesity had different neurological responses to stomach infusions of dietary fat or sugar than lean adults.
Scans revealed a reduced release in dopamine, a neurotransmitter involved in creating feelings of 'reward' from food that help us recognize when we've had enough to eat.
Even after a significant amount of weight loss, volunteers were less able to register food in their stomachs, which may have profound effects on food intake.
Obesity Can Trigger Lasting Changes in The Brain's Nutrient Response, Study Finds

This was after what they termed significant weight loss. But if you do a NOOM calorie cutting approach, or get all plant based, you can still feel hungry because the body is screaming for nutrients.
That's why I was grateful to stabilize my weight at a size 12 with grueling exercise and low fat. And all the other things that only worked temporarily. I tried all kinds of things until Atkins. And then I stopped dieting and started living.
They are still ignoring nutrition, ironically. |
