Actually, the human gut
It does produce a hormone
It can both suppress appetite and increase calorie expenditure
It's called GLP-1
Give an example
We can think of GLP-1 as a delivery platform
Like a delivery man, it tells the pancreas to secrete insulin
Take the sugar we ingest allocate to cells as food
Make blood sugar drop steadily
When the blood sugar stabilizes
The hunger will disappear
GLP-1 also acts on the central nervous system
It actively signals to the brain that you're full
Let's stop eating in time
This will help us kick our sugar addiction
Appetite suppression
GLP-1 also drives white fat, which stores energy
It turns into brown fat that burns energy
Thereby increasing the level of human metabolism
So GLP-1 can help us eat less
But consume more
Easy weight management
