VegSeekingFit - It sounds like you're becoming a real pro at navigating these holiday events successfully!For the most part, I'm pretty consistent, but I do experience what you are describing from time to time. It seems to me that the processes of consuming, digesting, and absorbing food, as well as expending energy in various ways (some of which are not always apparent) is complicated enough that it would be hard to nail down a reason for these variations outside of a laboratory. If I had to guess, it is most likely minor variations in overall average calorie density and energy expenditure that gradually accrue to the point where one's hunger drive kicks in to maintain equilibrium. To me, this makes a certain amount of sense because those of us diligently practicing MWL in maintenance are almost inevitably "coasting" very close to a calorie deficit, so it wouldn't be too hard to visualize a few "dips" in average calorie density resulting in some corrective "surges" in appetite. But again, that is just my guess.VegSeekingFit wrote:not sure if anyone has experienced what I mention on 9 with volume of food eaten not consistent day to day?
Inspirational Quote : “Laughter truly is medicine. Though this won’t fix everything, finding ways to smile and laugh more will change your body’s chemistry in many positive ways. This is not just a distraction: it is an effective way to find some respite from your pain. It’s okay to have fun when you’re in pain. Smiling and laughing may be difficult, but it’s both okay and possible. Keep trying!” From Dr. Neil Pearson, a specialist in pain management."
Just so. Wishing you a quick and easy recovery!Ejg wrote:Fall seven times, get up eight.
Clinical Perspective
What Is New?
• A comprehensive dose–response meta-analysis of trials detailing the effects of changes in dietary sodium on blood pressure (BP), using the most up- to-date statistical dose–response modeling, shows that the relationship is positive, and almost but not entirely linear.
• The sodium change–BP relationship was present in analyses of long-term trials, although slightly atten- uated compared with the corresponding finding in short-term studies, and was noted in both analy- ses based on differences in sodium intake between study arms and achieved sodium intake.
• Higher background sodium consumption and BP increase strength and steepness of the effects on BP by changes in sodium intake.
What Are the Clinical Implications?
• The clinical implications of a substantially linear positive relationship between sodium intake and BP even in the long-term trials are that a progres- sively large reduction in BP can be expected with decreases in sodium consumption down to lev- els as low as 1 to 1.5 g/d, with no evidence for a threshold in benefit.
• Advice to reduce dietary sodium intake applies not only to adults with hypertension, who can be expected to derive a substantial reduction in BP, but also to those without hypertension, in whom the expected reduction in BP is smaller but still important.
