STOMACH SATIETY ..... is the Solution for American´s Obesity

Prof. Dr. Mohamed Elhashemy
My experience as a medical professor gave me evidences that, for most people, diets rarely work, even if they were put on low calorie diet. I found that more than 95% of my patients returned to my clinic by end of the first year, with their original extra over weight, or even heavier. This caused great disappointment to them and to me in the same time.

In year 2005, I got a brilliant idea; why not to train my patients on low-volume meals instead of low-carb, low-fat, or even low-calorie diets?

Of course it is easier to estimate volumes than to count calories. This was the start of my innovated Luqaimat diet which is the first low-volume diet. I trained my patients on this long–lasting habit of eating frequent small volume meals allover the day, while allowing them a moderate-sized diversified meal at end of day. The Luqaimat diet helped 91% of my obese patients to lose most of their extra weight in one year.

In year 2008, I got another, even more groundbreaking idea. I asked my self, if the stomach is the site of hunger sensation, why it does not also contain another site for satiety sensation?

This led me to postulate forward the presence of a satiety spot which I named: "Elhashemy´s Stomach Satiety Spot" or "ESSS". I deducted the presence of such spot from understanding the relationship between the following two facts:

1. The gastric fundus contains dense plexus of afferent vagal nerve fibers, which in turn is connected to brain satiety center at hypothalamus.

2. Solid food stays long at fundus in contrast to semi-solid foods, which moves quickly to the center of the stomach.

I advised my obese patients (BMI 35 plus) to eat solid Luqaimat (3 pieces of almonds together each hour for 7 hours daily). This activates the afferent vagal nerve endings with the aim to induce feeling of lasting stomach satiety. To my astonishment it works marvelously. My patients lost an average of 100 pounds in a year. These results could only be obtained through bariatric surgery.

My innovated scientific diet plan is the perfect formula for weight loss due to many reasons including the following:

1. Obese people are allowed to eat all their favorite foods (but in small volumes), so they can maintain their diet for good.

2. Obese people are educated about the action of Luqaimat on their gut & brain, so they will get a better mind-gut cooperation.

3. Obese people are trained on satiating their stomach through boosting Elhashemy´s Stomach Satiety Spot "ESSS", so they will not need to eat big volumes of food.

All these reasons result in unprecedented success rate of weight loss.

Nowadays, hundreds of obese Egyptians are following my diet plan instead of going on ordinary diets, or being submitted to bariatric surgery.
