Obesity is Starvation

Most overweight and obese individuals are in a hormonal state that signifies starvation to the rest of the body. This functional state of starvation occurs due to leptin resistance, and the result is that the body temperature decreases, energy levels fall, appetite increases - particularly sugar cravings, the body stores fat more readily than it burns fat, blood sugar and triglyceride levels rise, and the telltale symptoms of metabolic syndrome become present.

What is your opinion on improving leptin sensitivity?

[180degreehealth]

@KillSwitchOnSteriods In general, leptin sensitivity can best be improved by lowering cortisol, lowering inflammation, and increasing the nutrient density of the diet.

any increased sensitivity for insulin and leptin due to weight loss is temporary, as you lose fat you decrease your leptin levels. this triggors the binging episodes and increased fat gain insulin and leptin decreases when starving to go into ketosis but ketosis that lasts to long is a symptoms of lower food availablity except for those who freely eat low carb diets without reducing caloires.even low carbers eventually regain weight in long run if they are famine sensitive.

My body temp is pretty low. Its usually around 97.3 on average .

This is not true.When I eat less, I am able to lose weight. The problem is, its just hard to maintain eating less for a long enough time. I have to get down to 1600 calories to see weight loss. When I eat more, I gain weight again. I dont believe in "starvation mode". Its a myth. I believe that people get addicted to foods high in sugar. Its hard, but I can cut back sugar and monitor what I eat. I exercise a lot, though.

I just subbed this is very good info

dont forget you can be defiencent in calcium (fat cells will proliferate to hoard calcium and vita d when your defiencent) which causes other cells to be depleted in calcium which is required for glucose tolerance. excess glucose also damages cells via oxidation, sugar is rocket fuel.

your video rocks too. fatigue and obesity is a sign of malnutrition. I am trying a low gi diet with whole milk cal mg supplementation and whole foods diet. too early to tell if working.
