I really love this article. You did an incredible job. You brought up some really interesting posts about hunger hormones. This is one of the reasons why its so hard to maintain weight loss after the diet is stopped. When leptin is really high like it is when you calorie restrict yourself for long periods of time, it makes it extremely hard not to gain it all back.
I actually just put up a post about this but I do a lot of research regarding the ketogenic diet and their is some research stating that a ketogenic diet can help prevent the rise in hunger hormones even after severe calorie restriction. Much more research is needed though!
