So, as theorized, keeping leptin levels high during a diet does indeed solve our
dilemma by avoiding the negative metabolic (and perhaps behavioral)
adaptations that calorie restriction perpetuates.
The problem?
Daily leptin injections are far too expensive, costing thousands and thousands of
dollars per week. So, we can pretty much forget about supplemental leptin as a
solution (which is probably moot anyway considering that not too many people
are going to voluntarily plunge a needle into their skin daily).
A REAL Solution
Now that we know that leptin injections aren’t going to save us, let’s talk about
the possibility of manipulating your body’s natural leptin production.
And I’ve got good news – this can indeed be done, and without involving needles
or thousands of dollars. In fact, we’ll swap the injections and mounds of cash out
for two things I can guara ntee you’re absolutely going to love: more calories
and more carbs.
We know that leptin levels decrease by about 50% after only one week of dieting,
but fortunately, it doesn’t take nearly that long for leptin to bump back up with a
substantial increase in caloric intake.
In fact, research has shown that it only takes about 12-24 hours.
So, the answer to the fat loss catch-22?
