Picture how you look in the mirror naked at this very moment. Aside from personal genetics, did you know the amount of belly fat and cellulite that you’re carrying on your body right now is determined by hormones? Unfortunately, one of the most important fat loss hormones is all to often overlooked and sadly talked about the least. It’s a hormone produced in fat cells, and it communicates with your brain to help you control hunger and cravings. It also helps regulate your metabolic rate. When this particular hormone is functioning properly, it will kill your cravings by telling your brain to stop eating, stop storing fat, and START burning it instead. Its name? Come on. Readers of the Cutting Edge Facebook Page should know this by now. Its... LEPTIN. There is ONE particular food ingredient “hiding” in hundreds, if not thousands of healthy foods that blocks the passage of Leptin to your brain. FRUCTOSE...and it’s found in almost all foods that are labeled heart healthy. (NOTE: Fructose from fruits is totally different, because it has an all-natural antidote – fiber.) The first step you need to take in order to start optimizing your Leptin levels is to simply REMOVE processed fructose from your diet -- especially high fructose corn syrup. When you cut out fructose, you’ll prevent those nasty cravings, increase your metabolic rate, MAXIMIZE Leptin sensitivity, and stack the deck in your favor for faster fat loss. But this is only part of the Leptin puzzle. This week, we are going to be discussing Leptin a lot and how to maximize it towards your fat loss goals. See you in the next FB post!
