The first step to losing weight and getting healthy is to check your body max index (BMI). This will help you determine how much weight you need to loose.
Most overweight Nigerians have some degree
of insulin and leptin resistance. Generally, in order for you to significantly
gain weight, you must first become leptin resistant. Leptin is a hormone that
helps you regulate your appetite.
However, as you become increasingly
resistant to the effects of leptin, you end up eating more. Many people who are
overweight also have an impairment in their body's ability to oxidize fat,
which leads to a low-energy state.
Causes of low leptin – "Let's say you starve, let's say you
have decreased energy intake, let's say you lose weight, “Now your leptin level
goes below your personal leptin threshold. When it does that, your brain senses
starvation. That can occur at any leptin level, depending on what your leptin
threshold is. Once your brain senses starvation it will refuse to burn more fat
until the leptin level goes up again telling the brain you are full. You must never starve yourself.
