Yes, chew your food!

An abstract presented at the 2011 European Association for the Study of Diabetes suggests that thorough chewing stimulates the release of two intestinal peptides that reduce appetite and food intake in obese individuals.  In a study of obese non-diabetic individuals, thorough chewing stimulated postprandial increases of plasma glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 and peptide YY (PYY), both of which are secreted by intestinal L cells.

It was reported that the postprandial plasma levels of both hormones were statistically significantly higher after chewing 30 times than after chewing 5. This suggests that thorough chewing of food might have a clinically meaningful effect in controlling body weight in obese individuals. 

Once again, mom was right.  Slow down, don’t talk with your mouth full and chew your food before you swallow….

The Three Questions

Has your weight been a long term issue?

We aren’t talking about suddenly gaining 10 or 15 pounds. We aren’t talking about a few seasonal pounds.

We are talking about a struggle that has gone on for years…maybe as long as you can remember.

If you have been tried everything under the sun and committed yourself time and time again, only to see minimal or NO results.  There may be something else going on.

The truth is that if you are dealing with insulin resistance, you are probably approaching weight lossin ways that just can't work.

Medical Weight Management Center in Edina, MN has been helping people with long term weight issues understand exactly what makes their bodies react the way they do to different foods that they eat. We help patients understand their unique physiology and teach them how to manage their weight accordingly.


Tired of “weight loss experts” telling you the same old thing?

Whether it’s Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, or the yoga trainer at your gym. It seems like everyone has just about the same advice as everyone else. Eat less carbs, drink more water, exercise more.  It’s not that revolutionary and it’s the very general information that everyone seems to have. 

When you don't see results, they assume that you are cheating or not doing what they tell you to do, right?

What they don’t see is that you have tried. Not once…SEVERAL times and these simple tips just don’t seem to apply to you. Well, in a way, you are right! If you are dealing with insulin resistance, they DON'T apply. Your body may be a little bit different and you need to approach weight loss differently than most.


It’s time to stop looking for the next miracle diet

Every year we hear about a new diet with a catchy new name. Maybe it’s a new miracle potion, pill or lotion… There are closets full of these solutions left half unused when the buyer figures out that they just don’t work. That’s especially true for someone that has struggled with long term weight loss and possible physiological reasons that their bodies resist weight loss.

The truth is that Medical Weight Management Center has been around since 1997 but the program and product that we feature has been around for almost 40 years. Since 1997, we have helped our patients lose over 100,000 pounds!


Medical Weight Management Center is proud to serve Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and the entire Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. Lose Pounds Today.
