Understanding Leptin and its’ Effects on Weight Gain and Obesity

In simple terms, Leptin is a hormone...
...
often associated with another hormone named, ghrelin.  Together these two hormones drive hunger and appetite [2].  Leptin is a protein that is produced, and secreted, by your fat cells [1].  The amount of leptin produced within the fat cells is directly proportionate to the triglyceride content, of these fat cells.  Under a microscope, fat cells look like swollen little spheres. Each cell has a cell membrane (a barrier) and a nucleus (containing the genetic material that controls the activities of the cell), but their bulk is made up of droplets of stored triglycerides, which look similar in consistency to most plant oils we use.  For example, olive oil or peanut oil [3].  Most weight loss and weight gain occur when these fat cells expand and shrink, as the energy inside is stored or burned [3].

If this happens to you the solution is to either steam your kale or massage it. This recipe is one of my favorite’s because you still get all the amazing benefits of raw kale: the enzymes, magnesium, vitamin C and more.
