More Science Supporting the Leptin Diet

Quoting the new press release covering the study, “Eat less, exercise more. Now there is new evidence to support adding another “must” to the weight-loss mantra: eat at the right time of day.” How flattering, I’ve been saying those exact words since publishing Mastering Leptin in 2002.

The Blood Sugar Hormone Adiponectin is Linked to Your Circadian Clock

A detailed analysis of biological clocking genes has shown that adiponectin function is in sync with 24-hour patterns. The data also showed that fasting causes the adiponectin-relating timing to fast forward, whereas a high fat diet causes adiponectin-related timing to enter jet lag.

Low HDL & Elevated Triglycerides are a Major Cardio Risk Factor

I have pointed out for a number of years that low HDL cholesterol and elevated triglycerides are a major risk factor for predicting cardiovascular disease and more important than total cholesterol. Now there is a group of European scientists and doctors trying to alert the world to this very message, as they say in a recent press release “Low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and raised triglycerides, affecting millions of patients worldwide, are strongly linked to significantly increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) even in patients who achieve or surpass current low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) targets.”

Size of Abdominal Fat Cells Predicts Future Type II Diabetes

New research spanning 35 years shows that women who had the largest size in their abdominal fat cells were twice as likely to develop Type II Diabetes later in life. The women were taking part in a Swedish study that included taking fat biopsies back in 1974-1975.

Easy Ways to Calculate Your Goal Weight and Maximum Weight

Calculating your Body Mass Index (BMI) is seldom done due to the complexity of the formula. Yet, it is important for people to have a good idea when extra weight is heading in the direction of disease risk. Researchers are now proposing a simple way for individuals to understand their “Maximum Weight Limit.”

Leptin Problems Linked to Thyroid Cancer

When a person gains weight it is typical that leptin levels rise too high in the blood and do not get into the brain – a problem called leptin resistance that is a key force behind overeating and becoming overweight. For the first time researchers show that excessive leptin in the blood upregulates leptin receptors on thyroid cancer cells causing them to become aggressive thyroid cancer.

Poor Flexibility is a Sign of Stiff Arteries

If you are over 40 and have trouble touching your toes it is a likely sign that your arteries are getting stiff in direct proportion to your lack of flexibility. This is another low tech test, like putting a tape measure around your stomach, which is also predictive of hardening arteries.

Adiponectin Stops Sepsis – Relevance to H1N1 Swine Flu

A new animal study shows that low levels of adiponectin are associated with higher toxicity of sepsis whereas adequate adiponectin prevents sepsis. Adiponectin levels are low in overweight people and being overweight is a risk factor for getting severe H1N1 swine flu. Those with severe H1N1 swine flu have sepsis-like symptoms due to the toxicity and low oxygen condition produced by the infection.

R-Alpha Lipoic Acid Lowers Triglycerides

Elevated triglycerides are a key cardiovascular risk and a sign of leptin resistance, as too many triglycerides in your blood block normal leptin entry into your brain (causing you to have excessive food cravings that tend to be out of control). A new study shows that R-alpha lipoic acid can significantly reduce the formation of triglycerides.
