Leptin is another hormone that's essential to understand if we're serious about maintaining a healthy weight.

You can think of leptin as the appetite suppressant hormone. Made within your fat cells, leptin is what makes you feel satiated. It "talks" to your brain, telling it when you feel hungry or full.

When your leptin levels are balanced, you don't overeat because you feel full after eating a well-rounded meal, and that fullness lasts for hours. Leptin is like insulin in that it hates the wrong foods.

Ever notice how sweets 🍭 and processed foods leave you feeling empty and wanting for more even after a short period of time?

Eating trans fats and processed foods over the long tern eventually leads to leptin resistance.

Here are the things we can do to overcome leptin resistance:

1: Exercise regularly
2: Increase Anti inflammatory foods
3: Include omega3 foods and good fats and reduce foods that contain sugars and trans fats.

I'm all about a good ol' bag of potato
chips.
But have you ever eaten what feels like 1000 chips and
never felt full or satisfied?
I seriously feel like I could eat a family size bag and still
need a full meal 😂
There's a reason this is happening, so let's dive in:
Let's look at an apple vs. chips.
Both are great, but one has more staying power when it comes to satiation & fullness.
Foods that are more processed/less whole tend not to take up very much volume in your stomach. It's air food. I mean, a potato chip essentially dissolves before you even swallow
it, right?
And your stomach needs volume to help it feel full. So when you're hungry and eat something as low volume as
potato chips, it's not going to go very far compared to, say, an apple with nut butter.
To be clear: apples & nut butter are BETTER than chips. And this is NOT me saying eat apples over chips.
Rather, I'd like to give you insight into satiety.
Chips have so much air, such little volume, and not to
mention little to no protein or fat which means it's gonna
take awhile before you hit enough to fill you up! Chips are
mostly appealing to your satisfaction more so than to your
function.
Which is totally FINE, still eat those chips if they sound good!

BUT as an intuitive confident eater, you also wanna keep feeling + function in mind. Are those chips going to keep
you energized and focused the rest of the workday? Are they going to keep you full until dinner?
If you're feeling pretty hungry, low energy, and want more
staying power... pair those chips with some fat & protein
(or an apple + nut butter) to help you feel more satiated
balance blood sugar, and help you function better!
Now, am I saying you have to ALWAYS eat chips with
apples + nut butter? Nope, absolutely not. Sometimes you
just want a light snack and chips is it. Totes, fine.
What I am saying is that understanding food and your body
can simply help you make more empowered confident
choices with less stress, guilt, confusion, etc.
Remember, it's not about taking things away. It's about
looking at what you can add.

Myth-squash: Does warm lemon-honey water really helpful for weight
loss?

"Let me tell you about a fad everyone seems to be following quite blindly these days- Lemon honey water! It seems like everyone proudly claims to be
perfect for weight loss"

⭐️Over the years, honey has been considered a healthy replacement for processed sugar and is used for both medicinal purposes and foods.

⭐️I have been a chubby kid and have tried many things to get lean as I grew up and one of them was drinking lukewarm
Lemon & Honey water every morning on Empty Stomach.

I never knew why, I probably heard it from a friend who was himself/herself not sure why?

⭐️Lemon honey water may have other
benefits but it certainly DOES NOT
aid weight/fat loss.

⭐️In fact, the commercial honey you
use is concentrated sugar syrup that
raises your blood sugar levels and
can lead to weight gain instead.

⭐️Unlike refined sugar if the honey you choose is raw,organic and unprocessed it has few other nutritional content.

⭐️Having honey mixed with warm water and lemon has been a common technique to lose weight. However, if you are following this technique, you need to stop immediately. According to Ayurveda, honey is not supposed to be heated or cooked under any condition. When you heat honey in any form, it turns toxic and can deteriorate your health.

Please share to your friends and family ☝️
Working out is supposed to be good for you and a great sports bra can make you feel good about yourself and push you to work out that much harder.

The Center for Environmental Health (CEH) conducted a variety of tests on branded sportswear and found high levels of BPA, an industrial chemical used to make some plastics.

BPA exposure "is a concern because of the possible health effects on the brain and prostate gland of fetuses, infants, and children. It can also affect children's behavior. Additional research suggests a possible link between BPA and increased blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

BPA is often found in the plastics used to hold food and water (like plastic water bottles) and can be used in other consumer products as well — like in this case, stretchy athletic clothing.

Regulation primarily concerns food safety, so clothing companies don't always disclose if products have BPA in their fabrics. The best option? Look for natural fibers, like 100 percent cotton, linen, or wool clothing and steer clear of synthetic fibers like polyester and spandex.

Taking thyroid hormone medication
and not feeling better?

This is not uncommon! It may work wonders for some but leave others wondering why they still feel the same.
Here are few reasons why it may not be giving 👇

⭐️ You have Hashimoto's disease
Hashimoto's is an issue with the immune
system that can, over time, turn into an
issue with the thyroid. You may also have
hypothyroidism and need thyroid
medication but it's still not addressing the
root cause and you may still not feel great.

⭐️ You're not on the correct dose
Dosing thyroid medications can require
some trial and error. It also involves
testing and retesting lab work and keep tracking of symptoms to know if you are feeling better or not
This is going to be really important if you
don't have a thyroid or have hypothyroid and aren't producing enough
hormone.

⭐️ You have more going on
I very rarely see thyroid issues alone. You
may not be feeling great if you also have
blood sugar issues, stress issues, sleep
issues, etc. Often times it takes a combination of efforts to feel better.

⭐️You're not absorbing the
hormones This could be taking the medication incorrectly or an issue getting the hormone inside the cells.
If you're continually going up in dosage,
this is what I would consider.

Despite it’s misleading name, there are actually no vegetables in vegetable oil.

⭐️Vegetable oil is a highly processed fat extracted from soy, corn, canola, sunflower, safflower, cottonseed, rice bran, and/or grapeseed.

⭐️The process involved in creating these oils results in distorted molecules with high levels of what's called polyunsaturated fatty acids (aka PUFAs).
PUFAs are unstable fats that are susceptible to heat-related damage known as oxidation. Oxidation can cause inflammation and cell damage, which has been linked to many health-related conditions, including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and arthritis. Furthermore, vegetable oils usually contain additives that destroy many beneficial nutrients. 

❌OILS TO AVOID/LIMIT: vegetable oils such as soybean oil, corn oil, canola oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, cottonseed oil, rice bran oil, and grapeseed oil.

⭐️Some common sources include margarine, shortening, mayonnaise, commercial salad dressings, packaged snacks (cookies, crackers, chips, popcorn, bars), baked goods, and fried/fast food. Refined oils are extremely cheap to manufacture and increase shelf life, so many food manufacturers opt for this instead. Due to a high smoke point, they are often used in restaurants as a frying oil as well.

⭐️If you just went through your pantry and are realizing that everything seems like it contains these oils- don't worry! More and more food companies are catching on and making the switch. Check the Ingredient list and verify the oil used.
