Weight Loss

When you are trying to lose weight by reducing your calories, one of the main obstacles to a healthy diet becomes a feeling of hunger. One of the best ways to resist a temptation to eat more while keeping to a healthy diet is to pick foods that help you feel full for a long time.

Increased eating is not necessarily linked to weight gain and obesity, scientists say. Therefore, weight loss strategy should be aimed at developing other types of drugs to regulate weight.

The new study conducted at UCSF , a university dedicated to promoting health worldwide, showed that serotonin, that is known to regulate appetite and weight gain works in two different ways in the body: one that signals about the feeding and the other that controls fat metabolism.

Watching what you eat can actually help you lose weight quite effective, the news study says.

Those who care about their diet are more successful, having the visual evidence of their meals that helps to control the eating habits. In the study, Lydia Zepeda and David Deal, the researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison asked 43 people to keep track of their eating habits by writing food diaries and photographing their meals over one week.

Breakfast is an important meal, helping you to stay fit especially if you are a teenager, scientists say.
