It was just discovered that belly fat cells make an appetite signal which increases as you become overweight, causing you to crave more food, which makes you even fatter in the abdominal area, in turn causing you to crave even more food.

How to Control Food Cravings

Staying on a healthy diet is based on your ability to stay in charge of what goes into your mouth. As most people know, this is easier said than done. Just about every person needing to lose weight knows what they are supposed to be eating. When you do it right you don’t have to worry about eating too much because you simply don’t want to.

Calcium, Fat, and Weight Loss – Resolving the Confusion

A variety of reports in the past decade have indicated that calcium may be a helpful weight loss nutrient. This prompted the dairy industry to widely promote milk as a weight loss food. On May 5, 2008 a press release reports on an article that will soon appear in the Nutritional Reviews journal that states “neither dairy nor calcium intake promotes weight loss.” For consumers this simply becomes another “butter vs. margarine” or “are eggs good or bad” dilemma. Extra calcium is one tool that can actually help many people to lose weight in a healthy way.

Get Rid of Your Cravings to Help Make Healthier Fat

One of my key themes for improving your metabolism is improving the fitness of your fat. This means making healthier white adipose tissue cells and reducing the inflammation coming from white adipose tissue. It also means restoring the proper balance of brown fat cells which are very handy for disposing of calories as heat. A new animal study demonstrates that when the primary food craving signal in your brain, NPY, is blunted then you start making more brown adipose tissue cells – a rather novel discovery.
