Food cravings that get in my way! How can we control them?
The troublesome cravings that erupt during dieting are related to several hormones.
The appetite-stimulating hormone ghrelin makes us feel hungry and eat.
The appetite-suppressing hormone leptin makes us stop eating once we have eaten an appropriate amount.
If leptin fails to function, the body incorrectly judges that it has insufficient fat.
This leads to continued food consumption and fat accumulation.
If something goes wrong with ghrelin, its level fails to fall.
We keep seeking food even when full, and cravings increase.
Therefore, to begin a successful diet, the hormones that have developed problems need to be corrected.
Address hormonal imbalance and succeed with dieting through an individualized Hormone Balance Diet program.
