Always hungry? Can’t stop eating? Gaining weight as a result?

What can you do about it? Intermittent moving is the answer.

Our bodies have the natural ability to control our appetites, matching how much we eat with how much we need to eat. 

So why doesn’t it seem to be working right for many of us?

These appetite controls need to be told to go to work. That happens as we get up and move. Move enough and appetite controls set themselves. Sit too much and and appetite controls don’t go to work.

What are these natural appetite controls? 

• An appetite control in the brain takes measurements as blood that circulates through it. What’s measured? Indicators of how much our muscles are moving, gauges of the amount of fats and sugar providing the energy that fuels moving muscles. 

• Cells in the long bones of the legs send messages about how much weight they’re bearing. The weight they feel as we stand are a part of the body’s calculation of how much we weigh and if it has changed. Our bodies somehow (as yet unknown to science) use such information to make alterations in our appetites and eating patterns.

How can you use this to get your appetite under control? First imagine: as we sit no messages are sent about muscles moving or leg bones holding us up.

Get up and take some steps. Now imagine your legs, muscles, blood stream and brain working together to move you forward and make decisions about your appetite, how much you need to eat.

Finally, there’s the matter of taking enough steps today and tomorrow and every day to re-set your appetite controls. How many? Research estimates two hours more a day of moving than you do currently. If you can do it for 21 days your brain will change,  helping your body to remind your muscles to get up and move.
