well. You want to lose lot of weight and get in shape? You need to dial in your body by healing it and feedin it properly while exercising.

1) You need to make sure your body is healed from all the crap you've been feeding it all your life. That probably will require Leptin Reset:


Dr Mike Roizen says about leptin:

The hormone leptin, a protein secreted by stored fat that signals satiety and stimulates you to burn more calories, doesn't always work the way it's supposed to.

In some research, when leptin was given to mice, their appetites decreased just as expected. When it was given to people, they initially got thin--but then something strange happened: They overcame the surge of leptin and stopped losing weight. That indicates that our bodies have the ability to override leptin's message that our tank is full. How? When leptin tells your defense—the satiety chemicals—to kick in and protect you against overeating, the pleasure center in your brain says, "Pass those cookies this-a-way."

That surge from the pleasure center, which can overrule leptin's messages that you're full, is called leptin resistance (there's another form of leptin resistance as well, which happens when cells stop accepting leptin's messages).

Most obese people, by the way, have high leptin levels; it's just that their bodies have the second form of leptin resistance—they don't receive and respond to leptin signals. Also, as you get older, you have fewer leptin receptors in your brain—meaning that you have fewer satiety signals, which makes you more prone to gaining weight.

So, How do you fix your leptin sensitivity? well, according to Dr Jack Kruse, the best way to restore it is to for 6-8 weeks:

a) eat 50gm of protein within 30min of wakeup.
b) eat 3 meals a day with minimum of 5 hour spacing no snacking
c) no more than 25gm of carb a day, gluten free.
d) no food within 4 hour of sleep time.
e) no processed food and no grains.
f) eat until you are no longer hungry
g) Eat 1gm of protein/1lb of lean mass per day.
h) no PUFA

Now, how about exercise? as long as you are not chronically fatigued, you can exercise. if you are fatigued, start by walking. you can add more workout as you start to feel better.


2) Now, I feel better and hunger is controllable, what is the next step?

Once your leptin sensitivity has been reset, you will find that you have lot more energy and you are no longer hungry all the time. Use the step 1 nutrition as a base, but you have some flexibility.

a) Continue to eat 50gm of protein in the morning, but you no longer need to eat it within 30min.

b)If you still have lot of weight to lose, still limit the carb to under 100gm/day. Paleo/primal type of diet is recommended. Avoid gluten/wheat product.

c) If you are working out heavy and close to weight target, you could do post workout carb feeding. Eat clean starchy carb right after your workout. This will keep your energy up later in the day and refuel your glycogen. 50gm if you are still trying to lose weight. upto 200 gm if you are already fit and want to gain muscle. during other meals, keep the carb low.

d) Take pre-workout protein drink or 10gm of BCAA (branched chain amino acid) on empty stomach. Best to work out on empty stomach and eat after workout.
