The FastDay Forum

This is one of the best short articles I have read that neatly summarises Leptin Resistance and why obese people want to keep eating over the calories their bodies need. It also talks about fasting being a method to reverse this and get out of the vicious cirle.

It has done a lot to help me understand what was happening to my body and why fasting has been so successful for me....

There, hopefully, I made the links clickable.

Nope, ok I guess, it's cut and paste-able now.

I am a bit Leary of Dr Mercola. I will keep researching about leptin resistance.

Can you explain why please?

Me too Yanika1. I used to be an avid reader of his newsletter until I caught on to the fact that he only seems to post items that act as a platform for promoting his latest book or supplement. To me that damages his credability. The bloke may be very knowledgeable but he doesn't do himself any favours when every article turns into a sales pitch.
