When you're running, you burn more energy than when you're walking; when you're awake, you burn more energy than when you're asleep. When you see a threat, your metabolism speeds up preemptively to prepare you to run away, and when you prepare for bed, your metabolism slows down preemptively in anticipation of sleep.In fact, your metabolism changes many times throughout the day, often in anticipation of future needs. Starvation is just one of the many triggers of metabolic changes. Meanwhile, the sensation of hunger and the drive to eat is also regulated up and down throughout the day— and starvation cranks it into overdrive. Trying to resist that basic survival instinct is all but impossible, as my example with the candle should demonstrate. |
