What is Leptin?

And Why Am I Still Fat?

Fat cells produce the powerful hormone leptin, a primary force instructing metabolism, weight loss, and hormone balance. Leptin communicates directly to your brain, telling the brain how much fat is in storage. It controls appetite, energy, and metabolic rate. Leptin problems are the primary reason for food cravings, overeating, faulty metabolism, the obsession with food, and heart disease. Yikes!

So, is your brain listening to your body talking? If you’re like me, I never lose an argument with myself…except this time. My brain was NOT listening. And neither is yours…until now. It is so important to understand how all the “pieces” fit together in order to lose weight. Kind of like when all the stars are in alignment 🙂 The same is true for weight loss. Don’t expect to take a supplement(s), and eat McDonalds and chocolate sundaes everyday and lose weight. I’m sorry, it’s just not going to happen. Good food doesn’t have to taste bad! More about some of that in another post.

Check this out: The University of Minnesota picked up on a major scientific discovery back in 1994 by Jeffrey Friedman at Rockefeller University regarding a fat hormone called Leptin.

It was discovered that leptin sends messages to the brain related to appetite and fat storage. Excessive leptin levels create a resistance so the brain sends the erroneous message to eat more food, store fat in the cells, and not release stored fat from the cells.”

The more fat we have the more Leptin we have, creating an unending cycle.

You’re probably asking yourself “so, how do I lower my Leptin levels”? Well, funny you should ask that question! I just happen to have the solution. (You just knew that was coming). All I ask is for you go to my website, www.YourDreamSize.com and listen and learn! If you have been struggling to lose weight, like me, you owe it to yourself to watch and listen.
