Leptin
The Hunger Hormone That Regulates Appetite

Truth About Abs

What Is Leptin?

Leptin, from the Greek word leptos which means thin, is produced in adipose tissue, or the stored fat of your body.

Leptin acts in the hypothalamus, the part of your brain that is responsible for coordinating many body functions, including your appetite to help control food intake and weight loss. In simple terms, leptin is an important hormone for natural weight loss as it curbs the appetite and increases metabolism.

Following a meal leptin is released from your fat and enters your blood. It travels to your brain to deliver a message that you are full. Leptin also sends the message about how much fuel you have taken on board.

An increase in leptin warning signals leads to decreased food intake, increased energy expenditure and fat burning which promotes weight loss.

Leptin and Weight Loss

Leptin research shows that the level of leptin circulating in the bloodstream is directly proportional to the total amount of body fat, or adipose tissue.

Women, who tend to have a higher percentage of body fat than men produce more leptin. Obesity is associated with greatly elevated leptin concentrations.

What is Leptin Resistance?

Overweight people develop resistance to the action of leptin. Therefore leptin is unable to produce its normal effects on controlling the appetite and stimulating metabolism.

What Foods Make The Body More Sensitive to Leptin?

Junk food disrupts appetite hormone control leading you to overeat. Junk food also puts the brakes on your metabolic rate and leads to other problems that prevent you from burning off body fat effectively.

However you can reverse the eating habits that cause a hormone imbalance, and turn your body into a fat-burning machine like it was meant to be by consuming a sound nutritious diet full of unprocessed natural foods. This should be done along with a properly designed strategic exercise program that stimulates the necessary hormonal and metabolic response within your body. Both your food intake as well as your training program are important if you are to get this right.
