There are basically two ways to eat more than necessary: either you block the saturation or you stretch your appetite. The latter can be accomplished quite simply: A possible high-proof drink stimulates gastric acid to the – and that makes you hungry.

Long-term starvation may have a severely detrimental effect on your appetite and your eating habits. Therefore brings a starvation diet, in the short term you probably lose weight, more disadvantages than advantages in the long run. Soon, there have been remarkable changes: It’s all about just about food. It will be more depressed and aggressive. The hormone ghrelin from the stomach is delivered to the bloodstream and regulates the appetite. After a traditional diet, the blood contains more ghrelin. This hunger is much more pronounced than before.
