The Leptin Boost Diet - by Scott Isaacs (Paperback)

About the Book

This book explains the recent scientific discovers about the role of fat controling hormones, especially Leptin (which was only discovered 10 years ago). It then offers a program for managing these hormones so the hormones help the reader's weight loss efforts instead of hinder them.

Book Synopsis

UNLEASH THE POWER OF LEPTIN
When the hormone leptin blinds with receptors in your brain, it shuts down your appetite and speeds up your metabolism!

FINALLY A DIET THAT WILL WORK FOR YOU

On the Leptin Boost Diet, you will correct the hormonal imbalances that have made it impossible to lose weight on other diets and:

-Develop a lean body
-Maintain a healthy weight
-Feel more energetic
-Elevate your mood
-Experience restful sleep
-Sharpen your mental focus

END CRAVINGS AND STOP FEELING HUNGRY
When short of leptin, your brain mistakenly thinks your body is starving and sends signals telling you to eat more. The Leptin Boost Diet reserves both leptin deficiency in the bloodstream and leptin resistance in the brain, ensuring that you will finally feel full and stop overeating.
