There are several types of hunger, physiological hunger; environmental hunger and emotional hunger and hunger caused by blood sugar “roller coasters,” which occur when we eat certain types of foods rich in refined and ultra-processed sugars. (which many people may not recognize). So, what happens in our body when we consume these types of foods?
The full answer is complex. However, Dr. Cristina Petratti (General Physician specialist in nutrition and author of the Best Seller “Lose Weight”), explains the topic in similar words: “If we consume simple sugars, a high glucose peak automatically occurs; Later there will be a very pronounced drop and something that we have all felt at some point will appear: “cravings”. A peak on the “roller coaster” will be higher depending on the glycemic load of each food; “The higher the rise, the worse the fall.” Dr. Petratti comments in some recent studies, it is observed that sugar drops between 2 to 4 hours have a greater impact on hunger. Furthermore, in people with more pronounced falls, hunger can increase by up to 9%.
Currently, weight loss drugs have revolutionized clinical practice in obesity issues. These medications have proven to be useful in weight loss and the treatment of diseases associated with diabetes, sleep apnea, among others, generating controversy in different media on social networks and traditional media.
The drugs, called “The Hollywood Drug” have been publicly recognized by celebrities such as Lady Gaga, Elon Musk and the Kardashians, making them a topic of fashion and debate.
How do these hunger hackers work and who can use them?
These drugs have been developed for people who are obese or overweight and
concomitant diseases such as diabetes. They act by regulating appetite, sending a signal of satiety and stimulating the uptake of excess glucose. They improve brain, cardiovascular, muscle and kidney function. Its use must be prescribed by a specialized doctor and accompanied by a nutritional plan, exercise and psychological therapy to achieve sustainable results in weight loss. Constant monitoring of progress is required
from the specialist doctor.
When should these drugs NOT be used?
These drugs are NOT to compensate for the excesses of the end of the year or the holidays, nor are they a “support” for “the bikini operation”, nor to get rid of those last four or five “kilos”. If these drugs are used indiscriminately and are not accompanied by the explained pillars, there are several risks, including the destruction of muscle mass, which will lead to opposite results.
People have seen results in celebrities in a short time, which has triggered the indiscriminate purchase of these drugs, and this in turn has led to a shortage, therefore, Dr. Petratti warns us about the risks and calls on the responsibility of people as well as health professionals for the dissemination of information about them.
