The main character either gained weight or lost weight, but most importantly, she finally received her love.
– Vadim Aleksandrovich, there are situations when a person begins to gain weight, seemingly for no apparent reason. How to find out the reason?
– A food diary can help identify the cause of excess weight gain. It seems simple, but this is what helps to assess the situation and explain why a person is gaining weight. Often people continue to eat a lot, but attribute it to hormonal imbalance. Yes, hormonal disruption of the endocrine system also affects weight, but rarely, no more than 5%. The remaining problems relate to lifestyle, and very often it is eating up a stressful situation and negativity. For many people, their favorite food is the easiest way to get positive emotions, hence stress eating. The rhythm of life, especially in a metropolis, is such that a person simply has no time to lead a correct lifestyle, no time to take care of himself. A person is forced to devote himself completely to work, pay off loans, and sometimes there is no opportunity to just have lunch in peace.
– Why do overweight patients need to see an endocrinologist?
– The endocrinologist must cut off pathologies of the endocrine system, identify those changes that have already occurred against the background of excess weight, and they certainly occur, starting with a decrease in testosterone, women begin to have problems with insulin. Yes, weight gain is also possible from a primary disease of the endocrine system, but there are quite a few of them. With an integrated approach to identify the cause, the patient, as a rule, is also examined by a psychotherapist for stress eating, depression, and anxiety. A nutritionist is also involved. And friendly treatment from several specialists gives a good long-term result, which destroys the pathological mechanisms that caused the patient to gain weight.
– Pathological mechanisms?
– Pathology occurs when the patient experiences distress. This is stress with a negative sign, which depletes the body's adaptive capabilities. Then the compensatory mechanism begins to turn on, because a person eats not to become obese, but to compensate for the negative aspects associated with stress. For example, the hormone leptin works as an endogenous antidepressant; it suppresses stress. And since everything is controlled by the brain, it chooses the lesser of two evils, because it is better to gain some kind of excess weight than depression. When under stress, the body collects resources to deal with it. He needs energy to get out of this stress. And if stress is chronic, then it turns into a pathological mechanism.

– But it is believed that stress causes a person to lose weight?
– This is a high release of adrenaline, loss of appetite, which is reflected in the gastrointestinal tract, the absorption of nutrients changes, for some gastritis worsens, for others it’s something else, and due to this the person begins to lose weight. Everyone's reaction to stress is different. People can be divided into several categories: people who actively eat stress, for example, start eating chocolate, sweets, and there are people who, during stress, stop paying attention to what they eat, and sometimes they don’t notice what they eat at all , and the third category loses its appetite. And if you write down all your meals during the day, then such a diary will greatly help you understand where to look for the problem. Some patients say that they have been on a diet all their lives, and as soon as they relax, they immediately gain weight. And when you start to look into it in detail, it turns out that they do not notice that after the diet they eat beyond the norm.
And your food diary will show this if you look through it a few days later. The patient looks later and says: indeed, I eat incorrectly and only eat in the evening. Therefore, I advise you to limit evening meals, and you can eat anything before 16-17 hours. And overweight people eat rarely, mostly breakfast before work and late dinner. Therefore, even if you follow only the diet, this will already lead to tangible results.
– What if you really want to eat something late in the evening? For example, my appetite has increased.
– There are two concepts, the concept of appetite and the concept of hunger, and they should be separated. If you are not hungry, but want to, these are emotions; if this is a feeling of hunger, we look for what causes it. Either a person eats little during the day and he naturally wants to make up for the energy deficit in the evening, or there is some kind of disease, or there is a secondary mechanism against the background of obesity, which leads to a constant feeling of hunger.
Many people confuse appetite with hunger. – this is the body’s real need for food. Appetite motivates us to eat even when we are not hungry. The feeling of appetite is the opposite of hunger: it is our food desires, our desires for something tasty, our attempts to gain comfort and pleasure.
Meanwhile, there are distinctive features of appetite:
- Appetite is selective
- The appetite is insatiable
- We'll eliminate your appetite
A hungry person is indiscriminate in food. If he is guided by appetite, then he is picky in choosing a dish. World cuisine is becoming more and more sophisticated every year, and the dishes are becoming more tempting, more delicious, and more appetizing. Experts have discovered a connection between this fact and the worsening problem of excess weight in developed countries.
I wonder if at the moment of devouring some delicious food, does anyone think about the benefits of the food they are eating? Remember the book “About Tasty and Healthy Food”? It is understood that food should not only be tasty, but also healthy. But even healthy food, eaten in excessive quantities, ceases to be so.
It is also interesting that we consume a large amount of vitamins, which have a stimulating effect on the sense of appetite, and in fact, are purified of many useful components - vitamins and minerals.
In the process of eating, hunger is satisfied and passes, appetite comes during eating. If a food lover is offered an even tastier dish after a tasty dish, he will eat both. It is a rare person, being already full, who refuses dessert served after 3-4 courses.
The taste of food largely depends on habit. It's hard to argue with that. Take national cuisine, for example. Thus, a person who grew up eating borscht, pancakes and cutlets, at first perceives dishes from other cuisines as unusual, and something completely exotic may seem completely inedible. Many people have noticed, having decided to drink tea and coffee without sugar, that these drinks seem bitter and tasteless at first. As you get used to it, the picture changes - tea and coffee without sugar seem tasty, but drinking them with sugar is simply impossible.
So should a person who has decided to become slim be guided in food by such an insatiable and selective appetite?
Interest in a business increases gradually, even if it was started without apparent desire or desire.
- ⚜ You try first, you will always have time to refuse
It’s really like this: sometimes when you start eating even reluctantly, then you get the hang of it.
Some researchers believe that the proverb came to us from the French language, where there has long been an expression that can be translated into Russian as follows: “Appetite comes while eating, and thirst comes while drinking.”
In a figurative sense, this means that interest sometimes comes only during work, when things start to go smoothly and everything turns out as it should, in the best possible way.
There are similar proverbs among other nations.
* * * * * *It is said jokingly and figuratively: needs grow as they are satisfied. It is also used in the literal sense.
“Appetite comes with eating,” says the proverb. It also played out for Ivan Pavlovich. Ivan Pavlovich began to live beyond his means. He became a regular visitor to the hunting club and races. Played on the stock exchange.

Appetite comes with eating
Interest in a business increases gradually, even if it was started without apparent desire or desire.
❀ ❀ ❀Appetite comes with eating
It is believed that a wonderful phrase came into our language from the novel by Francois
Rabelais "Gargantua and Pantagruel". Among the conversations while drunk, one of
the phrase was thrown at the feasters: “Appetite comes with eating,” as
said Anzhe Mansky; thirst goes away while drinking." Jerome d'Angers
Bishop Mansky was a contemporary of Rabelais and probably a great lover
eat. It is unknown whether he said these words or whether they were attributed to him
author, but one way or another, the successful expression was fixed in the language,
meaning that you just need to start, and then you will get involved and understand everything
subtleties of the chosen business, both incentive and desire will appear. Sometimes
They also use the expression reproachfully: the more you give to a person, the more
he wants more from you.
"And the traditions? The glorious traditions of the Russian army, have you forgotten about them? But
Nothing. You just start on the orders of those who think for you, and then...
And there - appetite comes while eating! Hope to see you, sir
esaul, still a major general," - Mikhail Sholokhov, "Virgin Soil Upturned."
Overeat henbane
Remember, in Pushkin’s “The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish,” a good-natured old man, outraged by the shameless greed of his “woman,” angrily says to her: “Why, woman, have you eaten too much henbane?” Have you ever asked yourself: what kind of henbane is this?
In the village, in the backyards and landfills, you can find tall bushes with dirty yellowish flowers with purple veins and an unpleasant odor. This is henbane - a very poisonous plant. Its seeds resemble poppy seeds, but whoever eats them becomes, as it were, insane: delirious, violent, and often dies.
Now you probably understand why the words “he definitely ate too much henbane” are used by the people to people who do all sorts of stupid things, to brawlers and eccentrics, to those whose “minds have gone too far.”
Pineapples in champagne
This is the name of Igor Severyanin’s poem, which has become a symbol
beautiful life.
In a circle of nervous girls, in a sharp society of ladies
I will turn the comedy of life into a dream farce,
Pineapples in champagne, pineapples in champagne,
From Moscow to Nagasaki, from New York to Mars!
However, such a life too often turns out to be so empty that
except for external shine, there is nothing in it; just pineapples and
champagne.
Fortune telling on coffee grounds
Nowadays, instant coffee is mostly used, but not so long ago this
the drink was brewed exclusively from ground, roasted coffee beans
(true connoisseurs still do this). Brewed coffee was poured over
cups, and when the drink was drunk, there remained a thick layer
coffee grounds. The cup was turned over and, after the grounds had spread,
along the edges, peered into the pattern, trying to see hints of
future events and the fate of the person who drank from this cup (like
how Roman augurs observed the flight of birds or ancient Greek
the priests peered into the offal of the killed sacrificial animals, seeing
curls will of the gods). Although the Russian people loved fortune-telling, from time immemorial they were skeptical about all kinds of soothsayers and soothsayers, and therefore in the Russian language, fortune telling on coffee grounds means building
groundless guesses and assumptions based on nothing.
Hunger is not a thing
Strange expression, isn't it? Somehow it is completely incomprehensible why hunger is compared specifically to the aunt, and not to some other relative.
The whole point is that we have only a piece in front of us, the first half of the proverb. It reads in full: “Hunger is not an aunt, he will not bring you a pie,” that is, do not expect mercy from him.
This proverb is old, as it is found in collections two hundred years old. There are many such “truncated” proverbs. However, without the explanatory piece, they don't say much. Well, for example: “Dog in the manger.” The proverb becomes understandable only when quoted in its entirety: “The dog lies in the hay, does not eat itself and does not give it to the cattle.”
Onion grief
If a person cries, this is bad. But the reason that brings tears to the eyes is not always worthy of attention and respect. Try peeling or rubbing an onion: your tears will flow freely... Out of grief? From onion grief!
The Germans know another expression: “onion tears.” These are the tears that flow over trifles. And in a figurative sense, by “onion grief” we mean minor sorrows, insignificant sorrows that do not deserve tears.
Pears to hang around
A ripe pear falls from the branch on its own, although you can, of course, armed yourself
with a drum, knocking on branches, knocking around pears. But if you take into account that pears are a perishable product, they were almost never sold, they were rarely used for jams and compotes, being only a seasonal delicacy for children, then it is clear why the expression “poaching pears” became synonymous with not just idleness, but especially malicious idleness. It’s better to beat your thumbs or play with spillikins.
“Shame and disgrace,” he said, sobbing, “pears day and night
hanging around... feeding you here, grooming you, not standing on your feet, but
all you know is to ask stupid questions,” - Vladimir
Nabokov "Invitation to Execution."
Demyanova's ear
If you are treated to soup or something else that you are not currently
If you wish, you can safely call this treat “Demyanova ukha” after
the title of a biting fable by Ivan Andreevich Krylov. Once in June 1813, Krylov attended a meeting of the literary society “Conversations of Lovers of the Russian Word,” where one of the authors tediously read a long, tedious play and the fabulist had to listen to it to the end.
After which the famous guest was asked to read some fable.
Krylov stood up and performed “Demyanov’s Ear”, which he had just composed, with feeling. The situation it described suited the events of the evening so perfectly that it caused the venerable assembly to burst into laughter after every sentence.
Law of the falling sandwich
A butter sandwich always lands butter side down, says the law.
falling sandwich. In general terms, this law means that everything
what happens is always done in the most inconvenient way and, if
If something bad happens, it will definitely happen.
The sandwich actually falls butter side down more often, this happens
because a sandwich that does not fall on the butter falls elastically and can easily turn over, while a sandwich that falls butter side down immediately sticks to the floor. But why other troubles and misfortunes happen with such an inexorable pattern is not so easy to say. All that remains is to sigh and refer to the law of the falling sandwich.
From pig to crucian carp
In one folk story, a crafty monk set out to eat a pig. And the time was completely inappropriate for this - Lent had just begun.
The monk boldly disregarded the strictest prohibition of the church - “no, no meat during Lent”; however, he agreed to this only after he respectfully turned to the Lord God with a prayer for the remission of all his sins, past and present. And then solemnly, as if conjuring, he said: “Well, little pig, turn into a crucian fish.”
This humorous phrase is still used today, when circumstances force someone to pass off what is real as wishful thinking, to make a deal with their conscience.
How to get chickens into cabbage soup
Here is a common saying that we often repeat without thinking about its meaning and origin. True, many people understand that “chur” in old Russian means “rooster”. But is cabbage soup made from roosters?
Some interpreters of this saying, believing that cabbage soup is cooked only from beef, lamb and pork, suggested replacing the words “in cabbage soup” with the words “in plucking.” “Caught in the pluck” means he was stabbed and eaten.
It is unlikely, however, that this is the correct interpretation. Firstly, kitchen experts certify that the national Russian soup, “shchi,” can be prepared in any broth, including chicken broth. This was often done in cases where the need to prepare a treat arose suddenly, and there was no meat in stock in the village household.
The poor “chicken” fell victim to hospitality (not to slaughter a bull or even a pig at once).
The most important thing is that this proverb is found by historians of the Russian language already in handwritten collections of proverbs from the distant pre-Petrine era. And imagine - always in the same form: “Like chickens in cabbage soup!”
Obviously, without further ado, we should also use it, with the meaning: “Fall into unexpected trouble.”
Like goat's milk
There are two “benefits” from a sheep: milk, from which cheese is made - feta cheese, and wool. From a ram - one thing: wool (meat does not count). But, while a goat also has benefits - milk, a goat does not provide either milk or wool. Can you compare him to a ram?
Initially, our saying was longer, more precise, and sounded like this: “The benefit is like a goat: no wool, no milk.” Over time it has decreased. And so it was possible to understand that we were talking about something or someone completely unnecessary and useless.
It must be said that sometimes they say even more briefly - they don’t mention the goat, but are simply annoyed: “What good are you: no wool, no milk!” And everything is clear too.
Like water off a duck's back
This is not a simple saying, but part of an ancient spell formula. It used to be that a healer, pouring “speaking water” over sick children, and caring parents, bathing them in a bathhouse, would mysteriously say: “Water is off a duck’s back, but our Kolenka (or Petenka) is thin (that is, sick).” And they believed that all sorts of misfortunes would escape from their son or daughter as quickly and without a trace as water escapes from a goose’s plumage.
Precisely from goose? No, not necessarily: from the feathers of any water bird. Indeed, in such birds the plumage is covered with a special fatty lubricant, which is secreted by the gland on the back at the root of their tail. Water does not wet them, rolling down the fat...
But you can’t say: “It’s like water from a chicken.” Have you seen the wet chicken? Pathetic view! It’s not for nothing that they say about confused, frightened people: “wet chicken.”
Live like a lord
A wonderful, abundant and contented life, completely
as in Ershov’s fairy tale:
There is nothing to do - you have to
To serve you in the palace,
You will walk in gold
Dress up in a red dress,
It's like rolling cheese in butter.
Both cheese and butter were and remain quite expensive products, so that a house where both of these products are in abundance can indeed be considered a full cup. All that remains is to find out why the cheese needs to roll around in the oil and not lie on the sidelines.
In former times, cheese was prepared by fermenting milk with dried rennet (nowadays they use rennet), then forming a cheese head from the milk curd and allowing it to ripen. We don’t know how the ripening process is carried out in our time (judging by the taste
most cheeses - no way), and cheese makers of past centuries coated
head with fresh cow dung and buried in the ground, where the cheese and
matured for several months, or even years. It is not surprising that before
When eating, the first step was to cut off the rind from the cheese. But the trouble is, you can’t eat a whole wheel of cheese at once, and the opened cheese quickly becomes stale, fat begins to leak out, the cheese cracks and loses quality. In order to slow down the spoilage process, the cut cheese was stored in a tub of butter. At the same time, the moisture almost did not evaporate, the effusion of fat stopped.
It is remarkable that the remnants of rennet present in the cheese
prevent the oil from going rancid, so not only is cheese good in oil, but butter and cheese are also good.
"In starving Europe, submariners rode like cheese in butter. Doenitz
organized Lucullan feasts for them,” - Valentin Pikul “Requiem
caravan PQ-17".
Feed breakfast
Breakfast is the food that is prepared in the evening so that you can have a quick snack the next day in the morning, without spending a minute on cooking. A
the expression "feed breakfast" was born from a pun and refers to
a person who promises to do something, but with an amazing
Constantly does not keep his word, promising over and over again what he will do tomorrow.
Surely you often hear the saying “Appetite comes with eating,” but it is not always possible to reconstruct the meaning of what was said from the context. So that there are no more difficulties, today we will analyze the origin, meaning and morality of the saying.
Jerome Mansky
In fact, the phraseology “appetite comes with eating” has been around for many years and even centuries. Its author is considered to be Jerome de Angers (Jerome Mansky), Bishop of Le Mans. This is a wonderful town in France, now it is home to about 150 thousand people, and in the time of Jerome Mansky it was probably even less, but we digress.
It is not known exactly when de Angers was born, but he certainly died in 1538. Before that time, he managed to write an essay, which he called “On the Beginnings” (1515). It was there that a significant phrase first appeared to the world, which became a stable expression thanks to another person.
Francois Rabelais
It was in his magnificent creation “Gargantua and Pantagruel” (1532) that the classic of world literature used the phrase “Appetite comes with eating,” which thanks to him became immortal. Since few people read the treatise “On Principles” at that time (and even now there are hardly any amateurs among the regiment; it probably has not reached us), and everyone read Rabelais’s work (it is clear that this is a hyperbole), authorship is often attributed to only to one person, which, of course, is incorrect and sins against the truth.
History tells us that the saying “appetite comes with eating” was introduced into the French language by a bishop, and then it came into Russian in transit through the work of Rabelais. It’s probably not worth mentioning the serious historical connections between the Russian and French languages.
The origin of the phraseological unit “appetite comes with eating” is quite entertaining and interesting, but we need to establish the meaning of the phrase.
The meaning of the saying
And it doesn’t matter what exactly to do: eat, work, draw, write, dance. The start of any business can be difficult and tedious, but in the process a person is inspired by the first success, and he moves on, already realizing certain subtleties. The subsequent development of abilities, knowledge, skills and abilities is entirely on the conscience of the neophyte.
Here it must be pointed out that the proverb “appetite comes with eating” can serve as both a positive assessment of human behavior and a negative one. Let's look at the variety of meanings using two examples below.
First grader who wants to study
It is known that going to school is stressful for children. When boys and girls don’t know anything about teachers, lessons and homework, they really want to grow up and go to school. Sobering up occurs at the moment when children are taken to an unknown destination and why, then they are given to unknown adults, and a little later, boys and girls understand: school is now their main occupation for the next 11 years of life. Boys and girls eventually get used to the state of affairs, and some even get a taste for it over time.
This is how first-grader Petrov was: at first he was sad and sad that school was no longer a kindergarten or even a strict grandmother, but then, when he received his first grades, the child realized that he could study. Perhaps this is one of the main discoveries in life. Parents and teachers who observe Petrov’s change in mood may say: “Yes, the saying “appetite comes with eating” is true!” In this case, the meaning of the phraseological unit is certainly positive.
The rich cry too
Nowadays, many people chase money as if it can automatically make a person happy. Poor people will never understand the rich and their problems. The former believe that the latter have not life, but watermelon sugar. But businessmen not only have their own quirks, but also their own difficulties.
For example, there is a well-known story that when meeting a girl, some wealthy people pretend to be simpletons so that the woman evaluates exclusively their personal qualities, and not the size of their wallet. Let's imagine just such a situation. But there was a mistake: the man discovered his considerable financial potential, and his passion turned out to be mercantile, and now they visit elite bars every free evening. And so the unlucky gentleman complains to his friend:
- I’ll have to give up this one too, Marina’s eyes are clouded by my capital, I feel like a daddy, eh. And it all started with one decent restaurant, I wanted to eat normally. It's my own fault. Next time I'll be more patient.
-Will you say anything about her?
- What can I say, everything is clear: the appetite comes with eating.
As examples show, the same phrase can give a diametrically opposite assessment of a person’s behavior. This is the magic of language, its power.
The example of Stephen King and the morality of phraseological units
Beyond its immediate meaning, does the proverb “appetite comes with eating” teach anything useful? Certainly. And to clearly demonstrate this, let us turn to the example of the famous and very popular writer Stephen King. In his wonderful work “How to Write Books,” he insists that no inspiration exists in nature; what is more important is the schedule.
The master's life is subject to a strict schedule, the main thing in it is that King sits down to write at the same time, and this rule is inviolable. This is the secret of fantastic fertility - incredible performance and discipline. According to King, the muse (by the way, he has a regular source of male insights) needs training, then she will be able to give out ideas on the mountain. Thus, we can conclude that the famous writer chooses the phrase “appetite comes with eating” as his life guide. Its meaning may or may not be known to King, but the author of The Dead Zone follows the proverb religiously.
