  • Hygiene and Health
  • Nervous System
CONT

"Hypothalamic obesity" refers to excess weight gain that may follow from an injury to the hypothalamus, a brain region with many important functions. The hypothalamus affects energy intake, by regulating how much we eat, and energy expenditure, by regulating how much energy our bodies use. Damage to the hypothalamus disrupts the carefully coordinated balance between energy intake and expenditure, often leading to increased calorie intake and/or decreased calorie burning, and thereby to rapid weight gain.

Fasting-mimicking diets. FMD differs from IF [intermittent fasting] in that it allows for reduced calorie intake instead of complete abstinence of food... FMD constitutes periodic cycles of consecutive days consuming a reduced-calorie diet followed by eating "ad libitum"... FMD could be a plant-based diet, low in protein and sugar content.
