Luqaimat Diet or Gastric Bypass Surgery

November 16, 2007

Thousands of obese people who had gastric bypass surgeries achieved long-term weight loss. In contrast, the majority of the millions who did dieting, exercise, and used weight-loss drugs failed to maintain their achieved new weights. The scientific reasoning for that observation was described in a medical article at New England Journal of Medicine, May 23rd, 2002.

British scientists found that hunger hormone (Ghrelin) blood levels were raised in those who perform dieting, while it was sharply low at those who had gastric bypass. The lead author David E. Cummings, MD, postulated that if we can block Ghrelin medically we will not feel hunger pains, hence will keep weight off for long. Gastric bypass surgery, works because of two reasons. First, it dramatically reduces the active gastric size to only 5% of the original pre-operative size; therefore, it reduces the food intake volume dramatically. Second, it suppresses the gastric mucosal cells secretion of Ghrelin, due to the contact of food with a very small gastric surface area. more >>
