What are the principles behind leptin diets?
The goal behind the leptin diet is to master the fat hormone leptin. Controlling leptin will prevent many health problems.
Are there any websites that can help me find leptin diets?
The Leptin diet is one of those that require you to severely cut back on caloric intake, which can be dangerous. Please check with your doctor first before partaking in any fad diet.
What is a leptin diet good for?
Leptin is a protein that's made in the fat cells and circulates in the bloodstream and goes to the brain. Actually, it is the way your fat cells tell your brain that your energy thermostat is set right. It means, it tells your brain that you have enough energy stored in your fat cells to engage in normal relatively expensive metabolic processes. It is also possible that the absence of leptin is an extremely rare cause of obesity like diseases. So, Leptin is so much important for our proper weight loss.
What kind of diet is involved with the Rosedale Diet?
The Rosedale diet was devised by Ron Rosedale. He believes excess body fat is caused by an imbalance of levels of a hormone called leptin. The diet involves restricting sugar, which theoretically decreases leptin levels.
Where are testimonials for the Rosedale diet?
The Rosedale Diet focuses on the hormone Leptin. If you can control "Leptin" then you will lessen your urge to eat. This Diet consists of a lot of healthy fats and very low carbs and proteins. For some general testimonials go to: http://drrosedale.com/testimonials.html
Low leptin levels are found in cases of starvation anorexia and bulimia?
Leptin is the protein that naturally exists in the human body that regulates hunger sensations in the body. The higher the leptin levels are, the fewer signals the brain receives and the less hungry a person feels. Long periods of fasting or consuming a significantly low-calorie diet will drastically lower leptin levels. (On the contrary, over-eating raises leptin levels slightly, but not by much.)
What foods make the body more sensitive to leptin?
Fish, pulses, and vegetables contain leptin, but here is more information: First of all, the digestive tract cannot absorb leptin, so even if you could find a food rich in leptin it wouldn't help - forget about finding foods rich in leptin. The body has to create it's own leptin. Second, you don't actually want high leptin levels in your blood - what you want is for your body to respond to leptin more efficiently (ultimately resulting in LOWER leptin levels!). Leptin acts to curb appetite and to increase metabolism. So it would seem that you would want to increase leptin levels. But over time, high leptin levels in your blood eventually results in leptin insensitvity - similar to diabetes. Also, genetics makes some people less responsive to leptin than others. The real key is to make your body more sensitive to leptin - so that you will maintain a high metabolic rate and low appetite even if leptin levels drop. And as you lose weight, leptin levels drop, because fat itself causes the body to produce more leptin. So your question should be "what foods make the body more sensitive to leptin?" And the answer is that there are indeed some foods that apparently help the body become more efficient at processing leptin. How this works is not yet known - it is still being studied. But we do know that foods that seem to help include: Fish, primarily, then pulses (kidney beans, pinto beans, navy beans, lima beans, lentils), then other vegetables. Studies have shown that people with high levels of fish in their diet have low leptin levels (their bodies respond to leptin more efficiently, so the body doesn't produce as much leptin). In populations that don't eat lots of fish, leptin levels are usually higher, even when caloric intake, body fat levels, and weight are similar to those who eat lots of fish. After fish, high intake of pulses appears to be effective at decreasing leptin levels (again, increasing leptin sensitivity). After pulses, generally a diet rich in vegetables appears to aid in increasing leptin sensitvity. So there's your answer: fish, pulses, and vegetables. Nothing new, really...
