We should understand the role of leptin on appetite and weight loss. It the singlemost important hormone that regulates our hunger and energy level. When leptin level increase, it signals our brain that we are full and we stop eating; when it decreases, leptin orders the body appetite to increase and eat.
Leptin is produced by our adipose tissues; thus fat people have more leptin.
If you lose a lot of fat via liposuction or via crash diet, your leptin level fall and your craving to eat is stimulated. Thus crash diet or liposuction will not make you slim; the effect will be temporary.
Leptin resistance. High fatty diet and high fructose diet stimulate leptin resistance. Thus even if leptin levels are high, eating and craving continues.
Some advice:
l. Have plenty of sleep (leptin levels increase while sleeping)
2. Avoid sugar; ( to avoid leptin sensitivity)
3. Eat plenty of Omega 3 fish oil (they increase leptin sensitivity. It was found out that people eating salmon had higher leptin levels.) and thus were less fat.
