It is not all about calories for why individuals become overweight or obese it's about hormones and here is a crash course on Leptin the “master hormone” of body fat regulation!!

Leptin's main role is regulating how much we eat and burn, as well as how much fat we carry on our bodies. 

You could be Leptin Resistant if you have?

• A lot body fat in the midsection area 
• Out of control food cravings and snacking all day (especially cravings for junk food)
• High stress 
• Not enough sleep

Leptin resistance (universal in obesity) - the brain doesn’t receive the leptin signal, it erroneously thinks that the body is starving, even though it has more than enough energy stored - is now believed to be the leading driver of fat gain in humans.

How can you prevent or reverse leptin resistance?

• Lower Insulin Levels by avoiding eating typical modern diet (pasta, soda, pastries...etc...) ruins your body’s natural leptin response.
• Intermittent Fasting
• Stop snacking
• Eat Real foods (things that expire in a week)
• Getting more Omega-3 ( wild salmon, halibut, sardines, albacore, trout, herring, walnuts)
• Add resistance training to your routine
• Get adequate sleep 
• Chill out (yoga or meditation)

Making a few diet and lifestyle adjustments lays a foundation to restore leptin sensitivity, lower insulin levels which control your body set weight, and improve your health.
