Research: Hunger hormone works by making food look more appealing
A hormone produced in the gut urge people to eat more by making food seem more appealing, research discloses, proving the wisdom behind the advice that people should never go food shopping when they are hungry. "It's something that people knew but this explains it. Ghrelin is a gut signal, it's the way the gut communicates with the brain to make you hungry. And how it does that is by increasing the rewarding nature of food cues, by making ... food thoughts ... more attractive to you. And therefore increasing the probability that you will eat," said Dr. Alain Dagher.

Never skip meals - And other weight-loss tricks
Never starve: Eating more often helps regulate blood-sugar levels and keeps body burning calories rather than storing them. Waiting over 4 hours between meals can cause blood sugar to bottom out, making you weak. During this time we are most likely to grab that unhealthy snack to try and boost ourselves back up. --- Don't skip meals: If you cut too many calories during the day, body will push to conserve calories rather. This causes body to start breaking down muscle for fuel. Since muscle is the key to metabolism, eating too little can negate all the hard work put into health program and slow weight loss.

When I continued working out, I started getting sick," said Christine Aalders. --- Most people have heard of low-carb diets. The bodies of low-carb dieters respond by slowing the metabolism because carbohydrates act as the fuel needed for the body to function. And too much protein is hard on the body, and kidneys must work harder to digest all the protein.

How to Control Your Most Powerful Weight Loss Hormone
If you are overweight there is a good chance you are generating way too much insulin, "the fat storing hormone," after meals. The more insulin enters bloodstream after a meal, the more fat tissue will be stored after that meal. One trick to keep insulin levels low is to eat a small amount of "monounsaturated fat" before meals. It is found in many foods, but we recommend eating about 1 teaspoon of natural peanut butter with every meal. When you eat this type of unsaturated fat it slows up the absorption of carbohydrates, which has the same effect as eating fiber.

Record daily habits for successful weight maintenance
Keeping a log of eating and activity has long been the gold standard for effectively changing behavior to lose weight. Studies reveal that people who monitor food and exercise tend to be most successful. A standard food diary has a list of everything you eat and drink. The record also asks for information about how the food is prepared, the portion size, and the time and location of the meal. More detailed food logs may account the calories, fat or other nutritional content. If the goal is to become more aware of the effect of emotions on eating, make note of your mood each time you eat.
