How do I lose weight ?
Are you struggling with weight management? It’s not an easy task to maintain your weight and the difficulty is compounded by the fact that many people are overweight these days. This has major health consequences, both physically and mentally. Overweight will take a toll on your body in terms of physical well-being as well as mental health.
Managing your stress levels to lose weight
Stress activates hormones like cortisol and adrenaline that initially decrease the hunger as part of the body’s fight or flight response However, when the constant stress, cortisol can remain in the bloodstream for longer, which will increase their hunger and potentially increase to them eating more.
Cortisol signals the need to provide the body’s nutritional stores from the carbohydrate’s preferred fuel source.
Insulin transports the sugar from carbohydrates from the blood to the muscles and brain. If a person does not use this sugar in fight or flight, the body will store it as fat.
Research shows that implementing an 8-week stress-management intervention program resulted in a considerable reduction in the BMI (body mass index) of overweight and obese children and adolescents.
Some methods of managing stress include:
- Meditation, Yoga, or tai chi
- Relaxation and breathing techniques
- Spending some time outdoors, like gardening or walking
These things will help you with weight loss. If you don’t notice any change, Bariatric surgery is the best option for you. Before this weight loss surgery, you need to consider lots of things.
Balancing gut bacteria
Research is focused on the function of bacteria in the gut in weight management. The human gut hosts a wide variety and number of microorganisms, including around 37 trillion bacteria.
Everyone has different amounts and varieties of bacteria in their gut. Some can increase the amount of energy that the person harvests from food, increase the weight gain, and fat deposition.
Some foods can increase the good bacteria in the gut, including:
A wide variety of plants: Increase the number of vegetables, fruits, and grains in the diet will increase fiber uptake and a more different gut bacteria set. People also try to ensure that vegetables and other plant-based foods comprise 75 percent of their meals.
Fermented foods: It enhances the function of good bacteria while inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria. Kimchi, sauerkraut, kefir, tempeh, yogurt, and miso all contain adequate probiotics, increasing good bacteria. Researchers noticed that kimchi widely. The study also suggested that it has anti-obesity effects—the study also showed that kefir might help promote weight loss in overweight women.
Prebiotic foods: They stimulate the activity and growth of some good bacteria that aid weight control. Prebiotic fiber gets in many fruits and vegetables, artichoke, especially chicory root, onion, garlic, leeks, asparagus, banana, and avocado. It is also in grains, like oats and barley.

What is stomach stapling?
Stomach stapling is the VBG (vertical banded gastroplasty). A gastroplasty is a surgical process that decreases the size of your stomach.
While stomach stapling surgery, the surgeon creates a small stomach pouch and separates it from the stomach’s rest via surgical staples.
An opening about a dime’s size is left between the two stomach areas to move the pouch into a larger stomach area.
In the original stomach stapling procedure, use only staples to create the pouch. VBG was developed a little later.
VBG band is used to separate the stomach pouch from the rest of your stomach, in addition to staples. That makes the separation stronger and a little more permanent.
Because your fresh stomach pouch can hold only 1 to 2 ounces of food, you get full quickly and eat less than you usually would. As a result, you take in some calories. That, in turn, increases weight loss.
Since the pouch is created using the staples without removing your stomach, you can reverse stomach stapling by taking the staples out.
