Is Leptin key to managing weight?

Hi, we have seen more and more about the impact of Leptin on weight management.  The theory….which has been supported now by various studies… is that Leptin is a hormone that is link to signaling the brain to want us to consume more.  In particular for frequent dieters, Leptin levels are reduced…explaning why frequent dieters "ping-pong" their weight up and down in a frustrating battle with themselves.   Here is a quick Reuters article from June of this year that better explains this.

There are products that have been and are being developed that help restore Leptin levels to help people with this issue keep their weight off without the urges to put it back on.
