Undereating lowers physical and mental function while burning muscle, not just fat, which lowers metabolism and makes weight regain worse. Weight loss meds reduce mental food noise but eating less does not mean you are providing your body what it needs: satiety does not tell you how to use medicine as food. Whether on weight loss meds, coming off them, considering them, or trying to avoid them, the question as to what foods trigger the same satiety response naturally is critical to maximize their benefits, maintaining weight loss, and for some avoiding them altogether. That is our goal.
Without viewing food as the medicine that it is, we grab whatever is tasty, cheap, and convenient to maximize our opioid reward response at the expense of health, meaning we are driven for the strongest immediate indication of survival even if it kills us. Processed food creates a psychological illusion of survival that keeps us coming back for more, like a drug, making satiety hormone mimics for weight loss critical to break that cycle. Learn where the research stands on these meds, on what foods generate the same thing naturally, and how to discover what one or two things you should consider personally to shift your eating for the greatest benefits with minimal change. The only way to maximize your results is to know what bottleneck limits your individual metabolism and satiety so that you can most efficiently fix both simultaneously.
The TOPICS covered INCREASE with length so if you want to INCLUDE the RED topics go with the 3-page or 20-min version or to ALSO include the BLUE topics go with the 6-page or 40 min version:
Satiety meds signal your brain that you have eaten healthy food without having eaten anything
Dieting does not usually work so cutting Calories has been expanded into fasting and satiety meds
The body needs more than fat, which is why not eating enough reduces muscle mass, not just fat
Muscle is our most efficient organ for driving our metabolic rate & is therefore critical to health
A low nutrient supply to our body can shut down muscle by as much as 1,000 Calories per day
Satiety medications can easily reduce our eating to where the loss of muscle mass is a problem
The more satiety receptor types a weight loss medication mimics the more powerful it becomes
Our system is complex, so we will forever be chasing after better meds
GLP1 is a unique satiety hormone in that it is triggered by every aspect of traditional healthy food
GLP1 is released by L-cells in our lower intestine and colon in response to balanced healthy food
L-cells release GLP1 in response to carbs, fiber, protein, omega fats, and antioxidants
You must eat foods high in antioxidants instead of using antioxidant supplements
You must eat fresh foods containing polyunsaturated fats instead of using omega supplements
Our food industry oxidizes vegetable oils to the point that most hurt us more than they help us
Actual hunger-gatherer diets don’t look anything like our attempt to copy them in modern society
Unprocessed foods lower body weight like fasting but take care of the body instead of depriving it
Unprocessed food makes our genetics and insulin sensitivity practically irrelevant
Processed high-fiber whole-grain carbs are unfortunately not much better than white carbs
Processed carbs make you hungrier for the next 24 hours or more, particularly for more carbs
Fasting, processed food, and particularly flip-flopping between these drives incessant hunger
Veggies add fiber, antioxidants, and slow the digestion of an entire meal so L-cells can do their job
Having vegetables whenever you eat carbs reverses diabetes more than comprehensive eating
Processed food replaces nutrients, satiety, and therefore health with a false reward response
Activate your L-cells by chewing natural food right side up, not with nutrient enemas upside down
A hormonal diet focuses as much on insulin and cortisol at the front end as GLP1 at the tail end
Satiety hormones give us a break from food noise but do not actually fix what causes it
