Do you know what happens when your stomach growls from hunger?
Ghrelin is a growth hormone produced in your stomach which tells your brain that your body has to be fed. Ghrelin is what makes your stomach growl, and if you ignore the signals, then your belly sends out
more ghrelin... a lot more. At this point you have very little will power and will likely over eat.The secretion of ghrelin also causes weight gain, particularly in the abdominal area. Once
you've started eating, it takes about 30 minutes for ghrelin levels to
fall and that full feeling to kick in. But if you eat a 100 calorie
snack
(like a handful of nuts or a piece of fruit)
about a half hour before mealtime, your ghrelin levels will
already be subsiding by the time you pick up your fork.
So eat a steady supply of food and don't let the gremlin
ggggrowl !!!!
