Persistent Changes to Hunger Neurons Due to Fasting

Показать описание
In episode 148, I go through the details of two recent studies investigating the impact of fasting on hunger and craving circuits within the brain. After one bout of fasting, persistent amplification of excitatory activity was noted onto agouti-related protein neurons of the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus. I believe these studies provide an understanding as to why we may binge and re-gain weight after weight loss. Can we use this information to our advantage? Yes. I give some neuroscience based strategies to help us prevent weight re-gain. Tune in for details.

Wow, something to be mindful of when fasting and looking for those cues. Gaining weight is so easy and taking it off and keeping it off is the real challenge. Thank you for this insight!
