YouTube on The Appestat

Pass that along to World Of Science, Dave, they can't agree how it functions and some don't agree that it is cantered in the hypothalamus. Dave has several premises, none new, the apestat has been fooled by alien chemicals, etc and at least he does say these are opinions. What we do know about its functioning is that gluttony, psychosomatic issues and other conscious and unconscious mechanisms will override it. When that happens, obesity occurs. The single problem with the apestat as Dave believes is his assertion that it is calorically driven. If you follow his video, he states that the apestat regulates food intake by telling us when we are full or when we need to eat. This is hogwash because the apestat knows volume not calories when eating. Why would we expect that it could count calories when humans have no exact way of doing that (outside of a laboratory) themselves. Further, I can't count the number of times I have been calorie deficient to activity levels and not felt any need to eat whatsoever. But isn't that what hunger is, the need to eat? It may be an indication but it certainly isn't the warning signal we all want to make it. Hunger can be nothing more than having an empty stomach, nothing more than that. Do obese people never get hungry? Hearing from them, you would think hey have increased hunger levels. I believe they have increased sensitivity to empty stomachs. I applaud Dave's efforts, I really do but like most people, he's dieting down the wrong track. The body will lie to you even when it is unaltered chemically and otherwise. If we re-look at hunger as nothing more than a suggestion to eat, that an empty stomach is inconvenient but not necessarily drives a food intake plan, who cares whether or not our apestats are out of whack. I eat less than two pounds of food nearly every day. I add an Ounce Of Common Sense in food selection. I ignore hunger, have few empty stomach issues, it is used to being empty. Two pounds of food daily is very easy to learn, portion sizes become second nature, I stopped weighing out my food after six weeks +/-. The only time my weight fluctuates is when I find myself eating multiple times a day for whatever reason usually since I know that there will be no time for the one meal I customarily always eat, dinner. Even then, my stomach and my fullness tell me very quickly as I become uncomfortable as I exceed that 2PD limitation. So Dave, you made many valid points but Joliffe when he coined the term five decades ago, he was talking about a complex biochemical mechanism but he forgot to say that the apestat works best only to keep one from starving to death. -- http://www.steppenwolf.com/lyr/mnnster.html |
