Hormones are responsible to regulate
hunger and fat increase in the body. Generally, two types of hormones are
involved in this, one is ghrelin and the other is leptin.
Hunger is felt when ghrelin sends
signals to the brain. Excess secretion of this hormone in the body results
overeating. This can increase fat in the body, and hence weight gain.
The other hormone leptin is responsible
for smothering hunger and that sends indications of fullness to the brain. This
will check you from overeating and fat increase in the body.

If leptin hormone won’t be secreted
in proper amount, you will never feel full with nourishment and will constantly
feel hungry. As a result, fat accumulates in your body. Here are some foods,
which will help to increase leptin (fat-burning hormone) and decrease the
levels of ghrelin in the body.
1. Oats
You can feel satisfied by taking
oats in the breakfast, because it will enhance your hunger, diminishing the
hormone leptin. Oats contains insoluble fiber that fills your stomach. It helps
in producing a fatty acid called butyrate that decreases inflammation of the
body.
2. Fatty Fish
Halibut, a fatty fish rich in
omega-3 fatty acids helps in producing fat melting hormone in your body and
decreases inflammation. You can also eat salmon, mackerel, and tuna fish.
3. Eggs
According to a research, if you take
eggs in the breakfast, it will smother the hormone ghrelin. Thus, you will
feel less hungry in the day and will eat smaller amount and all your unhealthy
longing will stop.

them in the fridge. This helps in covering their starch into insoluble starch.
Then take some salads and eat them with these boiled potatoes. This can
stimulate production of fat-burning hormones in your body.
5. Apple Cider Vinegar
It checks increase of fat in the
body and also checks sugar absorption in the blood. It is very useful for fat
and diabetic people. Mix 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to the food,
which is rich in carbohydrate. This will lessen absorption of sugar from these
foods into the blood.
6. Oysters
Oysters are high in zinc, which
controls production of leptin in the body, and so that these lessen hunger.
People those are overweight have lower levels of zinc and higher levels of
ghrelin hormone, which makes them hungry and causes fat increase.
7. Coffee

benefits for health, it can also help in decreasing the appetite. According

hormone is created in the gut after eating and shows a feeling of fullness. It
