the hypothalamus' role
the hypothalamus' role
i read this article last night and i've been wondering about it since BB'ing is so full of people who cut, then bulk, then cut, etc.
more specifically, this part:
"Have you ever known anybody who is a "yo-yo" dieter, going up in weight, down in weight, up in weight again, down again? Then all of a sudden one day, for some reason, the yo-yoing stops. No matter what they do, they cannot lose weight.
The hypothalamus, which senses feast or famine and which has been tricked over and over again, one day just says, "Look, I don't know what you want me to do, so I'm not gonna do anything." I'll warn you right now, if you encounter this "yo-yo" long enough, you'll see that the hypothalamus is one of the worst glands to get regenerated. It can be done, but it takes a long, long time.
Often the person becomes frustrated and turns to surgery or liposuction and they never deal with the problem, they just continue to deal with the symptoms. That, of course, is the cornerstone of the medical profession, to never deal with the cause, only the symptoms, because treating the symptoms is profitable. Why get rid of the cause when it's an ongoing source of money for the drug companies and the medical profession?"
any opinions on that? any truth to it?
"Look, I don't know what you want me to do, so I'm not gonna do anything."
i didn't know the body could make those kinds of decisions
"Look, I don't know what you want me to do, so I'm not gonna do anything."
i didn't know the body could make those kinds of decisions That, my friend, is called a Anthropomorphism.
It's just like insulin and insulin resistance. If the body doesn't like something, it's going to build up a tolerance to it..
That is a very true statement. The body can "think" or buil a tolerance against it.
