Leptin is a complex hormone that helps regulate food intake and body weight. A part of your brain controls leptin levels in conjunction with your body fat mass. Because leptin suppresses appetite, it may seem beneficial to raise your level. It's more complex than that, however. Lower leptin levels are actually associated with a healthy body weight. So the goal is not to raise leptin but to eat foods that improve leptin sensitivity so that your body responds better to its signal. Read this in journal can’t recall the footnote but talks about avoiding legumes cashews and peanuts but macadamia nuts and walnuts ok . Many grains are related to leptin obesity when prevailing schools of though mistaken gluten for culprits when only like 1% of people have gluten issues . Anyone have more info on this issue ?
