Recently, through loads of research https://wellnessmama.com/5356/fix-your-leptin/ … I read that the bacteria like Borrelia in Lyme Disease can damage a body’s Leptin Receptors. Weight Loss requires “Leptin Sensitive” to use stored fat.
Leptin a hormone produced in the body’s fat cells, tells the brain how much fat to store. Overweight – Leptin signals the hypothalamus for hunger to cease and the metabolism to rev up. Underweight, Leptin signals a hunger increase and the metabolism slow down.
When a person is overweight and still suffering a large appetite – especially craving carbs at night, a “Leptin Resistant” is needed.
How to reset: changing eating patterns and portions will reset leptin receptors. *Stick to a simple food list, space out meals and count grams not calories. 👍🏼👍🏼 A food App can help with this.
- *Eat as soon as you wake up in the morning. Within 30 minutes is best.
- *Breakfast should be 25 grams or less: veggies, fruit and any complex carb!
- *50-75 grams of protein daily is the next challenge!
- *Eat good fats: avocado, raw nuts, and especially coconut oil.
- *Avoid all sugars (Stevia is ok) and *dyes/chemicals.
- Leave 4 hours between 3-4 meals daily. Play with amounts to see what holds you.
- *after the last meal of the day, Drink lots of water, tea, green tea, plain coffee (no creamer).
- *Workout daily after 5pm– *weight lifting or *yoga. Avoid cardio!
