Fat weight loss
Research and numerous studies have been carried out with a view to fathom the aetiology of obesity. As it is an important subject, we have discussed it here in detail.) Obesity is mainly a problem of the affluent society. It is the result of excess consumption of sweet and processed foods accompanied by the lack of adequate physical activity. It is still a matter of unsolved mystery how is it that some people are able to maintain their weight in spite of the fact that they consume a lot of food, and how is it that some others eat only a little and yet get fat. However, compared to the data available a few years ago, a lot of further information is available today. There are certain centers in the brain which control hunger and appetite. Some experts believe that here is a separate center in the brain which signals satiety. These centers are located in that part of the brain which is known as thalamus in the diat and fitness. There is no unanimity among experts regarding the process that regulates the quantity of food intake of a person. According to some, a person experiences satisfaction only when the stomach gets distended by a certain amount. Sugar is the least satisfying food item; while fatty substances bring the satisfaction soon and thereafter the appetite does not develop for a long time as the fatty substances remain in the stomach for a long time-2.
According to another school of thought, hunger develops when the level of blood sugar goes down-3. According to Dr.Brobeck, we eat food in order to maintain our body-temperature. When the body-temperature goes down, the hunger develops. When the food is consumed, the body temperature rises once again and feeling of satiety occurs-4. In short, the food generates heat. This heat is known as ‘Specific Dynamic Action’ (S.D.A.). This heat is found to be maximum in protein food and minimum in the fatty substances. Dr. Strang and Dr.McCluggage say that S.D.A in generated in different measures in fat persons and in normal persons. Fat persons consume more food because S.D.A. is not generated quickly in their body-5 in the diat and fitness.
