So, yes, you can be overweight and still suffer from low leptin levels – just go on
a diet.
So what happens when leptin levels fall and why the heck does it matter?
Again, under normal conditions leptin levels are normal and the brain gets the
signal loud and clear that nutrition intake is adequate. Metabolism is high and
the internal environment of the body is one very conducive to fat burning.
Until you start dieting.
Go on a diet and leptin levels quickly
plummet (by 50% or more after only
one week), sending a signal to the
body that you’re semi-starved and
not consuming enough calories.
This puts the breaks on metabolism
and creates a hormonal environment
extremely conducive to fat storage.
Thyroid
hormones
(hormones
extremely important to metabolism) respond by taking a dive and the abdominal
fat-storing stress hormone cortisol skyrockets measurably.
Hello belly fat.
And if that wasn’t bad enough, the appetite stimulating hormones ghrelin,
neuropeptide-Y, and anandamide all hop on board to make your life even more
miserable.
