How to lose weight through satiety?
Satiety is a feeling of pleasant fullness and satisfaction after a meal. Once the body has had sufficient nourishment, the brain will signal to you that you have had enough. At this point, you will stop eating and declare that you are full.
However, more and more people are becoming less sensitive to the signal to stop and are eating more than their bodies can take. Therefore, after a meal, many complain of being full to the point of discomfort rather than experiencing a pleasant feeling of fullness.
We are aware that a balanced diet and exercise are the keys to a healthy weight. However, for various reasons, many people find it hard to keep to this regimen and have resorted to drastic and often dangerous methods of losing weight. Diets involving skipping meals are common, easy and even economical but are unsustainable in the long run, resulting in an unhealthy yoyo cycle. Skipping meals causes the body to go into starvation mode. When this happens, the body lowers its metabolic rate to burn fewer calories to conserve energy, thereby defeating the purpose altogether.
It is therefore important to speak to your doctor to find out the healthy way to lose weight. Through satiety, you will learn to adopt a healthier diet with smaller food portions which, coupled with exercise and lifestyle modification, form a weight loss regimen which is both safe and sustainable.
