Hi, Dr. Sandy here, helping you tame your sugar Gremlin with the candy floss system. In the last session, we did something a little unconventional. We had popcorn with cheese. Now the protein component of the cheese slowed the sugar dump. In this lesson, we find out what the fat in cheese get up to, as we continue unpacking the a weapon, which involves adding protein, fat, and fiber. There are lots of chemicals shooting around in your gut.
Scientists have identified over 100 different chemicals. Don't worry, I'm not going to introduce you to all 100 of them. But I do want you to know About two, the first, often nicknamed the hunger hormone, is hunger hormone. When this guy is out and about, you're at risk of a sugar Gremlin moment.

He's responsible for getting fat digestion and subsequent adsorption sorted. That is kind of complicated to handle, because it doesn't dissolve in water. So cck has his hands for orchestrating the big events. He begins by shooting a message to the brain, telling it to hold on further eating until the current load of fat has been processed.
He also sends a message to the stomach to hold on letting more food in to the intestine. So gastric emptying slows as well. Then, he squeezes the gallbladder so that it squirts out bile. The bow emulsifies the fact sounds rather grand, but just means that the big fat molecules are turned into smaller fat my seals, which are way easier to break down the final job of cck is to give a shout out to the pancreas to produce enzymes, which will break down the fat and other goodies. So by adding that piece of cheese, which was both protein and fat in one move, you've made life a whole lot easier for the lover by slowing the arrival of the cops down, and you've got the brain feeling all satisfied, because it knows you're full. Your sugar Gremlin is sunk.

Fortunately, that didn't generated by Erickson can only be heard by other neurons in your head, so it jolts your brain into action. Sugar seems to be very adept at hitting the snooze button on your brain's alarm clock.
