How Leptin Play A Significant Role In Weight Regulation

Posted on by Ayanwola Titilayo A

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. ⁠

FAT DOES NOT MAKE YOU FAT

Fat does NOT make you fat. Yup. It’s true. The body needs fat to function and contrary to popular belief; skimping on fat WILL NOT help you lose weight. ⁠Low fat products are typically higher in sugar, which triggers the insulin response in favor of weight gain. ⁠
If you keep reaching for low fat foods like your ‘healthy’ packaged low fat yogurt, it’s time for an intervention. ⁠Once you read the label, you just may be surprised by how much sugar your favorite low fat foods contain. ⁠

Research shows consuming excess amounts of refined carbohydrates to replace fat as a cause of weight gain. This might be why you’ve been struggling to lose weight, by unknowingly consuming excess amounts of sugar. ⁠Fats interact with your hormones in complex ways that don’t cause a massive spike in insulin. This is why eating good quality fat can actually help you lose weight. Some fats are healthier than others and good fats are important for your body to function properly. Examples of healthy fats to add to your diet are: avocados, salmon, nuts, olive oil.⁠

Ghrelin The Weight Loss Sabotaging Hormone

Posted on by Ayanwola Titilayo A


Did you know that your hormones could be sabotaging your weight loss?

Ghrelin is a hunger hormone, which your body secretes more of when you engage in dieting and calorie restriction. Its main function is to stimulate your appetite, making you eat more calories and signaling your body to store fat. Ghrelin also intensifies your hunger, making it very difficult to lose weight. This is why you might be feeling miserable, cranky, ‘hangry’, and unable to lose and keep your weight off for good. Basically, the more you diet, the more your body works against you by making you want to eat more.

You can improve the Ghrelin effect by:
1) Not over restricting your calories
2) Eating enough protein
3) Reducing excess sugar intake
4) Avoiding processed foods
5) Getting adequate sleep
6) Managing your stress levels

It might feel like the cards are stacked against you when it comes to achieving sustainable weight loss, which is why to seek the right expertise and work with a nutrition professional that understands the science of how to lose weight and keep it off for good.
