Is leptin involved with stubborn weight gain after menopause?  What can I do?

I have been plagued by hot flashes for the past few years. They seem to be getting better following the Leptin Diet – why would this help?

My painful menstrual cycles have improved following the Leptin Diet, is this typical?

I used to be able to cut back on food, exercise more, and get my weight under control – now it seems a lot harder.  Why?

Some days I don't change anything and it seems like my metabolism just stops, I may even gain a few pounds. Any suggestions?

I am following the five rules and I am not losing any weight, what's wrong?

I can't make it five to six hours without eating. I get dizzy, lightheaded, and start feeling shaky. Am I doing something wrong? 

I must eat something before bed or else I can't fall asleep. Does this mess up the Leptin Diet?

Mary's Leptin & Weight Loss Q & A

I just feel really sluggish and am craving sweets. This started after Valentine's Day and has worsened since Easter. I need to get back on track on before things worsen.

I have put on a few extra pounds over the winter and would like to take them off and not risk gaining them back again. Do you have any safe suggestions?

I have been unable to lose the 50 pounds that I gained with my three pregnancies. What can I do?

I am more than 20 pounds overweight and have done every diet on the planet. I can lose weight, but I cannot keep it off. Help!

Know the Five Rules and follow them
The goal of these rules is to help you restore fitness to your fat cells, hormones, and cellular metabolism – enabling you to have better energy from the food you eat while attaining or maintaining your optimal body weight. See chapter 5 of "The Leptin Diet®" for details.

Eat Well
Just as timing of eating is important, so is what you eat. Eat a variety of fresh, organic foods that give you good energy! It's important to cut out the chemicals and additives and eat REAL food. See chapter 8 of "The Leptin Diet®" for details.

Exercise
Exercise turns on genes that facilitate healthy leptin function and metabolism. Consistency is more important than intensity. Do enough to see progress in terms of a fitness feeling and support of your weight loss effort.

Dietary Supplements
These can be used as "tools" to help keep your energy up, cravings at bay, hormones working better, and metabolism engaged properly in calorie burning. Dietary supplements make progress easier for most and are quite helpful for getting started, staying on track, or breaking through a weight-loss plateau.*
