Leptin Resistance

High Triglycerides, Insulin Resistance and Leptin Resistance...

Triglycerides are the chemical form in which most fat exists in food as well as in the body. They're also transported in blood plasma like cholesterol. 

Triglycerides in blood plasma come from fats eaten in foods or are made in the body from other energy sources like carbohydrates, especially sugars. When you eat food and it isn’t needed immediately for energy, it is converted to triglycerides and transported to fat cells to be stored. If the body needs energy between meals, it releases hormones that trigger the release of triglycerides from fat tissue.

Higher than necessary levels of triglycerides cause many health problems, including causing fat storage.  This is because triglycerides bind to leptin making the leptin invisible to the brain by preventing it from crossing the blood-brain barrier

The leptin receptors are found in the brain and when leptin binds to the receptor, it sends signals into the brain.  The first signal is to stop hunger and suppress appetite and the next signal is to trigger an increase in metabolism to burn calories and fat from the food that was just eaten.  But if the receptors can’t bind to the leptin then these signals won’t happen, and one of the things that interferes with this binding is triglycerides.  This is one of the causes of Leptin Resistance.

When a person has a resistance to leptin, it takes more food to satisfy their appetite and their metabolism slows down and doesn’t burn the fat and calories quickly enough, which of course causes weight gain.

This would make people think that the best course of action then would be to follow a low carbohydrate diet, but unfortunately, most of the low carbohydrate diets on the market are too high in “bad” fats, which in turn triggers a resistance to leptin.  So although eating less processed carbohydrates is your best plan of action, you have to make sure that you are eating a high level of nutrient-rich food and eliminate processed foods and high “bad” fat foods totally from your diet.

Research has shown that leptin resistance can develop without you knowing it by eating lots of sugar and then when you start to eat a high fat, high calorie diet, the leptin resistance results in weight and fat gain.  This Liver Detox Diet program solves this problem because it focuses on eating highly nutritious food that includes lots of healthy essential fatty acids.  This not only stops food cravings, but leaves you feeling fuller for longer.

Insulin Resistance

Insulin resistance is when your body produces enough insulin to control blood glucose levels, but the body has developed a resistance to it and the insulin cannot bind to the insulin receptor properly.  This causes the body to excrete more and more insulin until finally the body can clear out the excess blood glucose.  If this goes on for too long, eventually insulin resistance will turn into diabetes.

Insulin resistance triggers a vicious cycle that looks something like this:

Insulin resistance --> causes high blood sugar levels --> which causes high cortisol levels --> which promotes fat storage --> which triggers inflammation --> which triggers leptin resistance --> which causes more weight gain … and on and on and on.

The “Diet Free … At Last!” e-book goes into extensive explanations about insulin resistance and diabetes, and yes, you get it free with this Liver Detox Diet program!

What Other Visitors Are Saying...


"I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing all of your thorough research on what I believe to be my very own physiological dysfunction. My overweight girl friend keeps trying to convince me that we both have a mental problem with food addiction...I know I'm not crazy, and I don't think she is either."  ME, United States


 

"Thank you.  I was able to download the books and was so impressed.  I became very ill several months ago and have had the drs find all the problems discussed in your books one at a time.  I don't feel like a freak now and know that all these problems combined seem to be a syndrome that can be lived with or cured.  I was just about to give up and found you by entering the 3 major disorders they had diagnosed me with into a search engine and the link to your site came up.  Thank you and God bless."  LM, United States


"From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for saving my life. I mean that literally -- I have been been following dr. atkins  diet for 25 years and in the past year I thought that I was losing my mind. ... Some one convinced me that the high protein diet might be causing the problem.  Through some research, I found you - AND I downloaded your books! Within 3 weeks I am sleeping through the night (2 years without sleep) and my hot flashes are totally gone. I am waking up in the morning and I want to live again!!  My friends and fiance cannot believe the change in me.  With everything that is in me, I thank you folks SOOOOOOO much.  MY brain was lacking so much serotonin!!"  DH, Canada
