Ghrelin & fatloss
What is Ghrelin?
Ghrelin is known as the “hunger hormone” because it signals your brain that you’re hungry.
It’s produced mainly in the stomach and small amounts in the pancreas and brain.
How Ghrelin Affects Fat Loss
Increases Appetite: When ghrelin levels rise, you feel hungry, leading to eating more.
Decreases After Eating: When your stomach is full, ghrelin levels drop, reducing hunger.
Higher Ghrelin = Harder Fat Loss: During dieting or calorie restriction, ghrelin levels often increase, making it harder to stick to a deficit.
Lower Ghrelin = Easier Fat Loss: Eating in a way that stabilizes ghrelin helps control hunger.
How to Manage Ghrelin for Fat Loss
✅ Eat Protein-Rich Meals: Protein lowers ghrelin better than carbs or fats.
✅ Stay Hydrated: Water helps reduce hunger signals.
✅ Get Enough Sleep: Lack of sleep increases ghrelin and decreases leptin (satiety hormone).
✅ Avoid Extreme Dieting: Severe calorie restriction spikes ghrelin dramatically.
✅ High-Fiber Foods: Fiber slows digestion and lowers ghrelin.
