There is a good reason to eat more and not get hungry behind restrictive and low-calorie diets, as established by an interesting study conducted on mice and published in the important journal Cell. The study concerns the ability of our body to mutate the cells of the white fat (or fat commonly understood as such) in brown fat (fat cells that help keep the body lean and burn more: their greater presence in the body equates to a higher metabolism). According to researchers at the  Yale School of Medicine , the conversion of white fat to brown would make us lose the extra pounds, but obviously it is not automatic or we would all be very thin: instead it depends on various factors, including how much and how the brain receives the signals. of satiety.
The signals of the hypothalamus to regulate appetite would in fact be directly involved in our body’s ability to burn the extra pounds.The less we eat than we should, the more time we spend between meals and the less we lose weight. Researchers can confirm this behavior of the human body after seeing that of mice: mice on a low-calorie diet automatically burned less and had less conversion of white fat to brown fat than mice that ate satisfying diet. Eating enough automatically prompts the body to burn more, and to use the reserve energy in heat. According to the researchers, therefore, having a satisfying diet, which does not make us feel hungry between meals, and adequate from a caloric point of view is the key to maintaining body weight and burning fat without “tending to put on weight”.
