Limiting food intake is a key concept of weight loss. Most people also have a difficult time with this. Dieting, along with the stresses of daily life negatively impact weight loss. This is why it is important to use every possible advantage to make it easier.
Healthy people are able to regulate their weight through energy balance, which is a function of hormones in the bloodstream. For instance, it is known that insulin can store sugar within fat, while leptin can increase metabolism. Bombesin is a newly described hormone that appears to play a role in controlling metabolism. It appears to be able to control appetite. The action of all hormones occurs at areas of the cells called receptors. This particular area seems to be very interesting to research lately.
