in a large part mediated by the hypothalamus.87 Leptin, a peptide hormone secreted by adipose tissue, acts to reduce appetite.87 Circulating
levels are proportional to adiposity and so decline during weight - loss, thus increasing appetite, however this reduction is believed to be disproportionately greater than the change
in fat - mass.82 As expected, IER (60 - 85 % ER on restricted days) weight - loss interventions have all noted a decline
