Lose Weight And Look Great

Researchers have discovered that your stomach’s appetite signal, ghrelin, can also turn on gene signals that result in accumulation of stomach fat. The study means that rather than doing crunches to flatten your stomach, spend more time getting your appetite under control and your stomach is likely to shrink.

Ghrelin is required for normal health and a normal appetite. It is a hormone signal that is released in your stomach, in turn signaling your brain. It also signals the activation of growth hormone in your body, which is vital for overall rejuvenation and anti-aging. In other words, a normal appetite is required for good health.

On the other hand, once leptin resistance sets in and excess weight is gained, ghrelin signaling becomes compromised. It becomes excessive and loses it proper timing and rhythm. This leads to a routinely excess appetite signal, making you eat too much food.

The new research shows that ghrelin also signals the fat cells the are in your abdominal area. The researchers demonstrated that excessive grhelin activated a variety of protein that favored abdominal fat storage, including acetyl-CoA carboxylase, fatty acid synthase, lipoprotein lipase and perilipin.

The bottom line is that once these genes and proteins are activated then calories are headed for your stomach to be stored in fat. To stop this process, stop your excess appetite. This can be done by following the Five Rules of the Leptin Diet, exercise, and using dietary supplements like pine nut oil that help keep your appetite in check. As your appetite system gets under control and learns to stay that way, expect to see your stomach shrinking.

Several new studies show that curcumin activates the enzyme AMPK, along with related fat burning gene signals, thus preventing the build up of fat in liver cells. 

AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) is a pivotal cell enzyme required to orchestrate the burning of fat and sugar. The first study was trying to figure out if curcumin had a mechanism that could specifically help protect against non-alcohol fatty liver disease; a common consequence of obesity-related health problems. This study showed that curcumin turned on AMPK, induced fat burning, while inhibiting fat deposition in liver cells. The researchers concluded that these mechanisms were adequate to conclude that, “curcumin extract may be active in the prevention of fatty liver.”

In a second study, researchers fed a high fat diet to mice to the point of inducing fatty liver. In the mice that were also fed curcumin, it prevented the mice from developing fatty liver. It did this by activating AMPK to orchestrate the gene signaling that enhances fat burning. The researchers concluded that curcumin was of use “as a therapeutic for hepatic steatosis [fatty liver].”

This new Korean research is a continuation of a decade of science relating to curcumin and obesity. I have previously reviewed their work and the work of others in my article, Curcumin Now Touted as a Significant Weight Loss & Disease Prevention Nutrient. Curcumin is an excellent nutrient to add to any person’s weight management plan.
