If you are having trouble losing weight and have just about resort to all possible remedies, the secret may lie in your leptin. Scientists are not sure why but in a recent study among lean v. obese women, scientists learned that when the levels of a hormone called leptin is raised among lean women, their appetites for food curbed and their eagerness for exercises increases.

In obese women, the results were just the opposite. Scientists learned that the more exercise the obese women did, the more they wanted to eat. Leptin did not curb their appetite.

The news seems almost discouraging but at the same time, the study does not point out how much bad fat these women ate. Without knowing their diets, it may be meaningless to drawn from any conclusion.

So I say, keep on slimming.       You have no idea how lucrative the benefits are to losing weight, ie.  lower cholesterol, lower glucose, better looking thighs, just to name a few.
