High-fat diet is harmful to the stomach nerves and makes it more difficult to lose weight

After working so hard to lose a few kilograms, the weight easily goes back up as soon as you relax. Do you have this problem too? Scientists tell you that this may be the fault of the gastric nervous system! Australia recently published a new study, pointing out that long-term intake of high-fat diet types will damage the stomach nerves, causing the brain to fail to receive information about fullness, which in turn increases appetite and causes people to eat more and more. It is also a possible reason for weight loss plans to fail and weight gain to occur again.

A high-fat diet causes increased food intake

According to a report in the British Telegraph, only about 5% of people can continue to follow a weight loss diet plan, which means that most people are prone to gaining weight again or giving up halfway. A research report published in the Journal of Obesity by the University of Adelaide in Australia attempted to explore the relationship between weight regain and systems such as metabolism in the body, and therefore conducted further analysis on this phenomenon.

During the study, mice were divided into two groups for the experiment. One group was given a low-fat diet containing only 7%, while the other group was given a high-fat diet containing 60%. After being fed continuously for 12 weeks, the mice were allowed to return to a normal diet. The results showed that the mice that consumed high-fat food not only became fatter, but also ate more after returning to a normal diet.

Abnormal endocrine system in the body makes people prone to overeating, making it more difficult to lose weight.

Endocrine abnormalities make people more susceptible to obesity

Researchers pointed out that under normal circumstances, after humans are full, the stomach nerves should immediately transmit messages to the brain, allowing humans to feel full and stop eating; however, for people who consume a high-fat, high-calorie diet for a long time, the secretion of the hormone "leptin" in the body will be inhibited, which will change the sensitivity of the stomach nerves and prevent them from transmitting fullness messages to the brain.

"Leptin", also known as the obesity hormone, is a hormone in the human body that is responsible for accelerating metabolism, suppressing appetite, and controlling body weight. A study in the United States a few months ago found that obese people have an "anti-leptin" phenomenon in their bodies, which makes people never feel full no matter how much they eat, and even overeating, which is another situation of abnormal leptin secretion.

Dieting alone is not enough, exercise is needed to increase metabolism

Research results indicate that long-term consumption of a high-fat diet will lead to a decrease in leptin secretion and weight gain. Even if you lose weight by dieting, the weight will slowly return within two years like a balloon. But this does not mean that obese people cannot lose weight. It only means that it is very difficult to lose weight permanently by dieting alone. Researchers suggest that it is best to combine a complete exercise plan and exercise to promote the body's metabolism to assist in weight loss. Basically, you need to consume at least 300 calories more every day to lose weight successfully.
