In my last article I discussed the fat cell hormone leptin and how the body can become resistant to its effects. Leptin resistance is almost always seen in patients who are overweight. You could try to make more leptin to overcome resistance, but it turns out that this is not a numbers game and simply having more leptin probably won't do much. Think of it this way: When you are overweight, something is blocking your body's signals. Something is not telling your body to stop feeling hungry, even when you don't need to be eating. That something is leptin resistance. Giving more leptin simply won't fix the problem. hgh releasers

In my last article I discussed the fat cell hormoneleptin and how the body can become resistant to itseffects. Leptin resistance is almost always seen in

patients who are overweight. You could try to makemore leptin to overcome resistance, but it turns outthat this is not a numbers game and simply havingmore leptin probably won't do much. Think of it this

way: When you are overweight, something isblocking your body's signals. Something is not

telling your body to stop feeling hungry, even whenyou don't need to be eating. That something is leptin

resistance. Giving more leptin simply won't fix theproblem.

The key is to lessen the resistance, not overcome it But, this ismuch easier said than done Leptin resistance is a topic of intensescientific research I do believe that one day we will havemedications to treat leptin resistance

But in 2011, no such medications exist It turns out that almosteveryone who has leptin resistance also has insulin resistance Insulin resistance, is the primary metabolic defect responsible for

type 2 diabetes Insulin is a hormone whose main job is to help movesugar from the blood stream into the body's cells

Page 5: In-My-Last-Article-I-Discussed-The-Fat-Cell-Hormon72

When the body becomes resistant to the effects of insulin, bloodsugar levels rise Eventually these higher sugar levels move into thediabetic range It makes sense that alleviating insulin resistance will hgh releasers also help leptin resistance This does seem to holdsome weight with the leptin experts

Losing weight is a proven strategy for alleviating both leptinresistance and insulin resistance Even losing five or ten pounds canlessen the resistance enough to make a difference When hormoneresistance is less, your body works more efficiently and you don'tfeel hungry at odd times Your metabolism works better and you losebody fat

When you have insulin resistance and leptin resistance, losingweight becomes paramount My books Hormonal Balance and theLeptin Boost diet contain a proven technique for permanently losingweight designed for people with leptin resistance and insulinresistance One of the most important things to remember when youstart on your weight loss journey is to be realistic about calories

You simply cannot change the laws of physics when it comes tolosing weight If you consume fewer calories than your body needs,you will lose weight When you consume more calories than yourbody needs, the extra are converted and then stored as fat

Page 9: In-My-Last-Article-I-Discussed-The-Fat-Cell-Hormon72

It is that simple The best way to eat fewer calories is to eat foodsthat are low in calories The other option is to eat smaller portions ofhigh calorie foods, but this seldom works because the smallerportions are not satisfying and leave you feeling hungry all the time

Page 10: In-My-Last-Article-I-Discussed-The-Fat-Cell-Hormon72

Eating larger portions but fewer calories helps this issue Thecomplicated part comes in when you try to come up with a specificplan for losing weight That is where I can help
