Short & Crisp Snippets
Ghrelin is the hunger hormone, released from upper part of stomach which sends signal to Hypothalamus to be communicated to the body that we need to eat.
The hunger signals are passed in accordance with our old developed habits, the eating habits that we’ve development. So hunger is also instigated by habit, and hence can be modified or even newly trained.
Leptin is a hormone produced by fat cells, the satiety hormone.* It sends signals through the blood to tell the body that you’re full. It lets your brain know that it’s time to stop eating.
Since your fat cells make leptin, the more body fat that you have, ideally the fatter you are, the more satisfied you should be. But when you have an excessive amount of leptin, your leptin receptors begin to develop a resistance to leptin, similar to insulin resistance.
Those who are obese have a lot of leptin, but unavailable in body, this brings a lot of hunger all day long. The only way to restore leptin sensitivity is to lose weight, so you maintain healthy leptin levels.
