ABSTRACT: At meals, people aim to maintain their usual energy level and balance in blood
and all tissues. People have subjectively refined this aim through poorly conscious
months and years, i.e., outside any comparison with other people, other
times or feeding conditions. The preprandial weekly mean blood glucose can
assess this individual aim that differs from other people in the general fattening/
diabetes development. The evaluation of this pathogenic development in the
overall stratification shows how unhealthy is the subject’s energy imbalance.
After 2 - 48 hours of meal suspension, the aim arises as Initial Hunger. This
Initial Hunger serves as reference sensation in the assessment of current
energy availability. Recognition of three Initial Hunger arousals per day produces
an even energy balance and eliminates any conditioned intake. This
meal pattern seemed a useful chance to reverse current trends in overweight
increase. Two reliable authorities (National Institute of Health and New England
Journal of Medicine) noticed that already, all dieticians instructed to wait
for hunger arousal before meals to limit energy intake for body weight loss.
Dieticians’ definition and instructions on hunger for body weight loss miss
any distinction from conditioned energy intake and are ineffective. Present
report shows the need for improving awareness on hunger.
