How does one reset hypothalamus?

Question

According to Kevin Trudeaux's new book, how does one reset the hypothalamus specifically for weight loss?

Answer 1

Mammalian bodies are more programmed for weight gain, not weight loss. Evolutionarily, animals have developed mechanisms to create fat so they can fight off starvation. When ane starts losing weight, the body thinks that we are in starvation mode and wants to minimize energy loss. That's how we have survived in times of famine.

Reseting the hypothalamus with repect to hunger is an interesting concept. Most of the data is from animal models but many have been confirmed in humans. The breakdown of fat will only occur after consumption of glycogen stores. So it is necessary to be in a ketotic state. Exercise is another option and can be very effective.

But one of the major ways to reset the hunger center is to make your hypothalamus tell you you're no longer hungry by eating slowly, certain foods (such as glucose) and quantity will also affect it. As your stomach gets used to being smaller, this will also help.

Your satiety center in the hypothalamus is also sensitive to leptin, a hormone produced by fat cells that tells the hypothalamus not to be hungry. This hormone is coded for by the OB gene. And defective OB genes are found in obese people as well as obese mice.

Answer 2

you really can't control your hypothalamus. number one it is in the brain that controls sex-urges, humger, thurst and etc.
