Here's a great video that explains more about
the Leptin hormone cascade and how it impacts your health:
Beyond diet does not target the hormonal mechanisms of weight loss, the most primary being
the Leptin hormone.
The problem with this approach is that it doesn't work long - term because it depletes
your leptin hormone reserves, makes you more resistant to it and blocks its fat burning action resulting in frustrating weight loss plateaus and making you regain body fat back quickly.
