Leptin also known as the ‘satiety hormone’ plays a significant role in weight regulation. ⁠

Research shows that low levels of leptin in the body or leptin resistance can cause weight gain. Insufficient amounts of leptin makes your brain thinks your body is starving, even when it has enough fat stores. Your brain then sends signals for you to 1) eat more and 2) slow down your metabolism. ⁠
⁠

Lifestyle changes can help counteract low levels of leptin and leptin resistance. Strategies to try include: ⁠
1) Eating a fiber rich diet⁠
2) Avoiding processed food which often drives inflammation ⁠
3)Lowering your triglyceride and LDL levels⁠
4)Eating adequate amounts of protein ⁠

There is more to weight gain and weight loss than just calories in and calories out. Our hormones play a huge role in this process. ⁠
