Six days on the leptin reset, and could it be that I am already leptin resistant? Here are the signs, and my progress so far.
Weight loss: Check
No cravings, especially for carbs: Check.
No hunger: Check.
Changes in sweating: Check
Changes in body composition: Check. My husband says my clothes are falling off me. This can only end well.
Wake up refreshed: Check
Better sleep: Check
Great mood: Check
Better exercise recovery: not sure, since I haven't exercised much yet.
This week, I'll start lifting heavy things and next week, I'll start the high intensity interval training. I find that I sleep pretty well when I keep the light low. Yesterday was my first night out since the start of the reset. I put on my amber sunglasses before I went into a lit building. People wondered if I was injured.
"No, I am resetting my leptin," and that really shut them up. I also found out that people have trouble talking to blind people. The conversations were normal when we went outside to better darkness and I took the glasses off.
I wear my sunglasses in the house at night, and relax before bed with a stack of real books and magazines, a 15-watt light and a baseball cap cocked to the side to shield the lamp.
Here's the link to the details.
Hey, Sidereal, the breakfast is the easiest. I make most of it ahead of time now. Sorry I have no solution to the crazy hours and overwork.
ReplyDeleteBrash, this is really inspiring. Please keep posting, in as much detail as you can manage.
