A team of scientists, led by Dr Jason Halford, discovered that overweight people, who do not tackle their psychologically unhealthy relationship with food with a holistic strategy, are unlikely to maintain a slim figure.

“Obesity is the result of plenty of motivational factors that have evolved to encourage us to eat, not least our susceptibility to the attractions of food & the pleasures of eating energy rich foods,” said Dr Halford.

Dr Laura Wyness, senior nutrition scientist at British Nutrition Foundation, backed the study by stating that t5 slimming pills produce lasting benefits when people use them as part of a healthy diet plan.
They said: “The key to healthy well being is a balance between eating well & exercising regularly.

“People must recognize that while some overweight burners may work, they are not to depend on solely as part of healthy & consistent way to lose weight. Excess weight around the middle creates estrogen & excess chemicals in the stomach, which put people at higher risk of killer diseases such as cancer, diabetes & heart disease.

It’s not just fast food that makes a fat, but eating too quickly can make a person fatter. The study of eating habits is to justify saying parents who say that one should chew at least 20 times before swallowing.

Studies show that people who swallowed quickly tend to consume more food than people who eat with ease. Researchers believe that eating quickly will stop the production of the hormone peptide YY and glucagon-peptide in the gut that act as a drag on the brain’s appetite.

Hormones that should inform the brain that food in the stomach is full to not work. As a result, a person will not feel full and eat into transmissivity.

Professor Stephen Bloom of Imperial College, London said that the trend to eat a typical fast-collar workers or people who are busy will trigger the risk of obesity. “Eat quickly while doing the work in front of the computer will speed up the risk of obesity,” Stephen said as quoted from Dailymail, Thursday (5/11/2009).

For that, Stephen suggested that a person does not eat quickly. “Nothing wrong with eating slowly and controlled. That way a person can actually slimmer,” explained Stephen.

In his study, researchers tried to compare the effects of eating fast and slow at the participants of the levels of glucose, insulin and fat. Each participant was fed 300 ml of ice-cream and instructed to eat with a speed different.

In addition to measuring blood sugar levels, researchers also measured levels of the hormone peptide YY and glucagon-peptide that functions send signals to the brain to stop eating.

The result is participants who ate ice cream in 30 minutes to have hormone levels higher in the blood and felt it was fed than those who ate hurriedly. That means that participants who ate in a hurry to have a hormone peptide YY and glucagon-peptide less in his body.

This study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. “A lot of people who already know that eating fast can lead to excessive consumption and obesity. Some previous studies had already proved it. But still many people are hard to stop that bad habit,” said Dr. Alexander Kokkinos, of Laiko General Hospital, Athens, Greece.
