STOMACH SATIETY SPOT Stimulation Before Your Meal … Reduces 33% of its Caloric Value

Eating 3 almonds together every hour for seven successive hours, before the main daily meal, may reduce 33% of its net Caloric value.
I am the developer of the Luqaimat diet (2005), which consists of 7-10 micro-meals (Luqaimat in Arabic language) and a moderate size meal at end of day.
I found that most of my obese patient whom are BMI 40 plus, usually consumed around 2,500 calories at their main meal, but when they preceded their main meal with the above mentioned satiety stimulating technique, may reduce their caloric intake of this meal by around 850 calories. After accounting for the additional 250 caloric value of the 21 almonds, the net reduction amounts to 600 calories. This means 18,000 calories less per month, or weight loss of about 5.2 pounds.
In July 2008, I conducted a clinical research, which entails advising 20 of my obese patients (BMI 40 plus) to go on the above mentioned diet for 6 months. I found that they felt less hungry and achieved around 75 pounds weight loss. This is in comparison to the control group of 40 obese of nearly similar BMI, who followed my standard Luqaimat diet plan, and whom I found that they lost only 42 pounds in 6 months.
The reason behind this massive weight loss is that frequent nut micro-meals (Luqaimat in Arabic language) may block most of gastric hunger, meanwhile it boosts the activity of Stomach Satiety Spot receptors that make the stomach feels full early.
In my opinion, many satiating factors may lie behind such outstanding results:
1. The seven-hour period of nut intake overlaps with the duration in which one or two of the peaks of Ghrelin (hunger hormone) secretion occur.
2. Nuts contain high percentage of Omega 3 (non-saturated fatty acids), and high fiber content, both lead to more satiety sensation.
3. Repeated intake of solid foods (such as almonds and peanuts), lead to direct contact with the gastric fundus mucosa for longer periods than other foods, hence stimulating Elhashemy´s Stomach Satiety Spot "ESSS".
Elhashemy´s Stomach Satiety Spot stimulation is my postulated theory in June 26th, 2008, which entails using nuts for boosting gastric satiety. The theory entails also that there is a neurological connection between that stomach spot which lies at gastric fundus, and brain satiety center which lies at the hypothalamus. This connection is mediated through the Vagus nerve. Frequent satiety spot stimulation may cause long-term satiety feeling; hence I introduced it to be a major factor in Elhashemy´s Broad Spectrum Luqaimat diet plan for extensive weight loss.
To my knowledge there is no method helping in weight loss to similar extent (75 pounds in 6 months) except bariatric surgery.
I believe that stomach satiety is the coming revolution in weight loss science. If my belief proved right, Elhashemy´s Stomach Satiety Spot stimulation will be the pearl of this stomach satiety science.
