Weight Loss News From Byron J. Richards
Sweet Taste and Food ObsessionMonday, December 08, 2008 - Byron Richards, CCNNew research confirms that the more sweets you eat the more likely it is that your tongue’s sweet sensors are disturbed, causing you to eat even greater amounts of sweets just to get a satisfied sweet sensation. Unfortunately, this craving for sweet pleasure is accompanied by eating too many calories in general and thus weight gain is likely. We have known for some time that there are leptin receptors on your tongue that go numb to the sweet taste. Thus, the problem of general leptin resistance, tongue-specific leptin resistance, and extra sweet food consumption go hand-in-glove. It is important to understand that these are powerful subconscious and misguided cravings that lock in extra calorie consumption that is adverse to your health. Another study also shows that your gut senses the taste of sweets just like your tongue, which triggers the initial and appropriate release of insulin along with a satiety signal called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). If your tongue is out of sync with your gut then you simply eat to much carbohydrates or other sweets before you feel full. On the other hand, if you try to use artificial sweeteners or no-calorie natural sweeteners then your tongue is further skewed and your gut doesn’t sense the sweet intake at all (the gut needs glucose). This is why any added sweeteners mess up leptin and your diet. One way to fix this problem is to go through sugar withdrawal and abstain from eating any sugar and eat much less carbohydrate for a week or two. Then when you have some at meals carbohydrates and fruit taste much sweeter to you than before and you’ll be able to eat less of them and still feel satisfied. You can have a bite or two of a dessert at your main meal, but catch yourself if you are getting back in a pattern of large dessert eating or the desire to have something sweet during the day. Also, train yourself to eat more vegetables that are bitter in nature. This helps balance your system of taste, in turn making healthy carbohydrate choices taste sweeter.
