This reinforces the fact that hunger is not simply a function of not having eaten in a while The 3 highest peaks of ghrelin corresponded to lunch, dinner and the next day’s breakfast, but ghrelin did not gradually increase After the initial wave of hunger, it recedes, even if you don’t eat - ghrelin showed a “spontaneous decrease after approximately 2 h without food consumption” (suggests that hunger comes in waves) Note: ghrelin does seem to have a learned component since all these subjects were used to eating 3 meals per day Study - The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism In this study, 33 subjects had their ghrelin measured over 84 hours of fasting - over the 3 days of fasting, ghrelin gradually decreased, despite subjects not having eaten for the past 3 days Fasting & Dopamine A study published in the Journal of Neurophysiology found that (in mice) fasting caused a change in the properties of somatodendritic dopamine release within the VTA by increasing dopamine release In other words, fasting altered the properties of somatodendritic dopamine release within the VTA by increasing dopamine release Dopamine & Cravings When you repeatedly do something that releases dopamine in the reward system, like eating sugary foods, your dopamine receptors can start to down-regulate When the brain sees that the amount of dopamine is too high, it begins removing dopamine receptors to keep things balanced When you have fewer receptors, you need more dopamine to reach the same effect, which causes people to start eating more junk food to reach the same level of reward as before - this is called tolerance If you have fewer dopamine receptors, you will have very little dopamine activity and start to feel unhappy when you don't get your junk food "fix" - this is called withdrawal A true craving is about satisfying the brain's need for dopamine - it has nothing to with the body's need for energy or nourishment As always, keep it locked in on the channel, and don't forget to: "Like" "Share" & "Subscribe" to SixPackAbs.com I'll see you next time, -Thomas Achieve The Body You Deserve: https://ift.tt/2R6qvGB P.S.
