ELHASHEMY'S SATIETY SPOT ..... A Very Small Area in The Stomach With Very Profound Effects
Suppose we can hit softly the gastric mucosa at certain area of the fundus (of course without damaging it) and suppose that this area contains the nerves of satiety. It is apparent that we are going to stimulate satiety for few hours, and if this hit is repeated several times daily the stomach will be calm, and its muscles will not relax most of the day, hence we will not feel urgency to eat large volumes of food. I believe that gastric mucosa is a long neglected important satiety area. This area when stimulated in combination with brain satiety area will produce profound cumulative satiety sensation that will lead to greater weight loss.
Again, I think that hunger is mainly related to stomach activity, while craving is mainly related to brain activity. I named that area for satiety at the stomach fundus: ELHASHEMY'S STOMACH SATIETY SPOT (ESSS). I trained a selected group of my obese patients to stimulate such spot and they got a greater reduction of their body weight in comparison to other obese people whom I did not inform them about that area. I think that gastric hunger and brain craving integrate together to direct person's eating behavior to gain extra pleasure through eating extra amount of food. Of course this leads to gaining extra weight. By repeating this tricky stimulation of the Stomach Satiety Spot "ESSS", the brain satiety center will respond immediately to the effect of any small-sized meals (Luqaimat) on the gastric fundus, so the brain satiety center will be in a steady state of satiation most of the day.
Physiologically it is known that solid foods hit the gastric fundus first and remains for a certain period of time, while food liquids pass directly to the gastric pylorus. I applied this physiological phenomenon in stimulating ESSS.
It remains to reveal how to stimulate the stomach satiety spot? And I shall reveal this in details in my upcoming diet book on my scientific diet plan "Elhashemy's Broad Spectrum Luqaimat Diet Plan" by the end of 2008.
