Leptin is a fat hormone produced by the body that seems to regulate certain metabolic functions including appetite. Leptin levels are affected by the foods you eat, the timing of your meals and your activity level. Simple changes to your diet can balance leptin levels naturally, increasing energy levels, reducing food cravings and allowing for healthy weight loss. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Complex Carbohydrates
Limit carbohydrate intake to whole grains and keep your intakes to no more than half of your daily calorie intake. Pair carbohydrates with a protein.
Eat Proteins in the Morning
A high-protein breakfast will keep energy levels up until lunch time. You'll burn more calories, too. An egg white and salmon omelet is a great start.
Limit Your Fuel Intake
Eat smaller, nutrient-dense meals. Eat slowly and you will usually eat less. Enjoy your food.
Time Your Meals
Don't eat within three hours of bedtime. This allows your body at least 10 hours to burn calories. Calories are burned even while you're sleeping.
Good Fats and Bad Fats
Avoid trans fats. Read food labels and skip anything containing hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils. When cooking, use olive oil. Sesame and walnut oils can be used in salad dressings.
Moderate Exercise
Moderate exercise, as little as a 10-minute walk per day, increases your metabolic rate, encouraging calorie burn and weight loss.
