¿Qué mecanismos regulan el apetito, el hambre y la saciedad?

El control de qué comemos y cuándo lo hacemos es el resultado de una compleja interacción de numerosos factores. El primer tipo de control que interfiere en esta decisión es homeostático. Esto quiere decir que sentimos hambre cuando llevamos mucho tiempo sin comer y viceversa. La estructura que lleva a cabo este control homeostático del apetito se encuentra en el hipotálamo. Aunque pequeña, se trata de una región del centro del cerebro que desempeña un importante papel en nuestro organismo

Así nos puede hacer engordar el desfase alimentario (también en confinamiento)

Somos muchos los que aprovechamos los fines de semana para dormir más, despertarnos tarde y desayunar a las mil. O, incluso, juntar el desayuno con el almuerzo. Y ahora que vamos a pasar varias semanas confinados por el COVID-19, en la mayoría de los casos sin trabajar, ese desfase horario en las comidas podría prolongarse durante días

Social jet lag associates negatively with the adherence to the Mediterranean Diet and Body Mass Index among young adults

Obesity and unhealthy eating habits have been associated with irregular sleep-wake patterns during the week, also known as social jet lag. The Mediterranean diet is a healthy pattern related with a better health and sleep quality. However, potential associations with social jet lag remain unexplored. The aim of this study was to examine whether higher social jet lag is linked to lower adherence to the Mediterranean diet and whether it is associated with BMI (Body Mass Index). This cross-sectional study included 534 young adults (18-25 years). Anthropometric parameters, adherence to the Mediterranean diet, chronotype and social jet lag were studied. Our results revealed that individuals with greater social jet lag showed lower adherence to the Mediterranean diet and had a higher BMI. Among the habits that characterized the Mediterranean dietary pattern, we observed that higher social jet lag was significantly associated with a lower intake of fruits and vegetables, as well as skipping breakfast. Hence, the promotion of regular sleep habits together with healthy dietary patterns should be considered for obesity prevention, especially among young adults.

A Mediterranean-style diet plan is associated with greater effectiveness and sustainability in weight loss in patients with obesity after endoscopic bariatric therapy

This study aimed to investigate the impact of a Mediterranean-style diet on weight loss effectiveness and sustainability in patients with obesity who underwent endoscopic bariatric therapies (EBT), relative to a protein diet plan. Thus, 132 patients with obesity (BMI 30–40 kg/m2) who underwent EBT, were asked to follow a Mediterranean-style diet plan (n = 52) or a protein diet plan (n = 26) for six months. General linear models were used to compare outcome variables between dietary intervention groups. Results showed that participants who followed a Mediterranean-style diet plan lost 14.2% more weight (95% CI: 3.0; 25.3), compared with those who followed a protein diet plan. Additionally, following a Mediterranean-style diet plan was associated with the sustainability of weight loss. Note that three months after the end of the dietary intervention, the patients who followed a Mediterranean-style diet plan were still losing weight (-1.2 ± 3.0 kg), while those with a protein diet plan gained, on average, 2.4 ± 3.3 kg (p < 0.001). Therefore, we conclude that combining EBT with a Mediterranean-style diet plan could represent an effective dietary intervention to improve the effectiveness and sustainability of weight loss after an EBT.Postprint (author's final draft

There is scientific evidence that some dietary and physical activity strategies may be useful to improve the symptoms of ADHD and benefit the social, cognitive and academic performance of children and adolescents with ADHD. The purpose of our study was to review the scientific literature on the role of diet and physical activity in ADHD symptomatology up to date
