Generic Lipitor (Atorvastatin, Lipitor® equivalent)
Lipitor is a prescription medication used along with an overall diet plan in order to lower the patient's level of cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart attack. It has been proven to help reduce patients' LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels significantly, as well as help in maintaining the low levels in the long term. Lipitor belongs to a class of medications known as statins, which work by blocking an enzyme in the liver that is used in the production of LDL ("bad") cholesterol. The body then produces less LDL, and the level of LDL cholesterol in the blood decreases.

SAFE WEIGHT-LOSS PROCEDURES: HUNGER AND APPETITE
Hunger is generally considered physiological, an inborn instinct, whereas appetite is a psychological, or a learned, response. This helps to explain why it is so common to have an appetite and eat when you are not hungry; conversely, some very thin people or those with eating disorders may experience hunger without appetite. Hunger is an active experience, whereas appetite is passive.
The feeling of fullness or satisfaction that prompts us to stop eating is called satiety, one of the key regulators of eating behavior. Some experts think that eating behavior is always in operation except when the satiety signal turns it off. Just how that happens is unknown, although many theories have been advanced. The glucostatic theory of hunger regulation suggests that blood-glucose levels and the exhaustion of liver glycogen may account for the starting and stopping of eating. The liver stores about
75 grams (g) of glycogen or 300-plus energy units (calories). When liver glycogen levels fall significantly, feelings of hunger may occur. The lipostatic theory suggests that hunger is regulated in some way by the number of fat-storing enzymes on the surfaces of fat cells. The messenger that the cells send to the brain in this theory has not been identified. The purinegic theory is relatively new and untested and proposes that the circulating levels of purines—molecules found in DNA and RNA—govern hunger. Exactly where and how the brain receives these messages is also unknown. The hypothalamus gland appears to be important in regulating eating. Damage to this area can produce eating disorders and severe weight loss or gain.
Eating behavior appears to occur in response to numerous signals. The possibility also exists that an inherited, internal regulatory defect is at least partially responsible for obesity, rather than its being a purely learned behavior or genetically caused.
It is obvious that there is much to be learned about the causes of obesity. There are many other theories. An understanding of the difference between hunger and appetite and the factors suspected of controlling food intake will help you control your body weight and fat.
