Always Feeling Hungry? Try These 6 Tips!
by Colin McGregor
Well, you may be able to reduce your appetite by increasing the hormone "Lepin".
It is produced in the fat stores of your body and signals your brain when you're full, triggering you to stop eating.
Some strategies that may improve your leptin levels include:
1. Strategic overfeeding. This includes a day where for a short period of time that you eat more than you normally do.
2. Avoid high consumption of omega-3.
3. Include dairy in your diet.
4. Increase your Zinc consumption by adding 2 teaspoons of Biogenesis Natural Chlorella Powder.
5. Don’t over train.
6. Get around 8 hours sleep- less than 8 hours can lower leptin by up to 20%.
