My Leptin Reset - With Photos page 2

Thanks, Paleobirdy and IrishRoses!

I do accounting work for a living and have always been fascinated with numbers, calculators and spreadsheets, so I find it fun and relaxing to track everything, not to mention informative. Knowledge is power!

Yesterday, I went to bed at 9:15 pm and read until 9:45 pm. I did not sleep well - lots of tossing and turning - in my blacked out bedroom ( I even cover my alarm clock numbers to block out the light) and woke up without an alarm at 5:50 am this morning.

My FIL dies of Alzheimers 3 years ago and like your family, there certainly is a genetic predisposition. So I will be very interested in your site.

I trained to be an accountant and I cannot think of anything worse then counting and measuring!

Actually the idea of staring at 50 grams of protein within 30 minutes is too much, at the moment I can barely face my 3 eggs.

But I am fascinated by this leptin reset idea so I will be following.

[RSL]

Let me know what you think of the site after you look at it, okay?

It is still a little forced for me to eat my 3 eggs, ounce of cheddar and 3 thick slices of bacon as soon as I get up, but I do it. At this point, I would be willing to stick needles in my eyes if I thought it would help! Eating till I'm stuffed? Not that big of a deal!

Excellent! Glad more people are realizing the wonderful advantages of the leptin program.

Thanks, SugarBaby!

RSL-
Cool idea to track this way.
Your before pics look great. A lot of people would be very happy if their after pics looked like that! I'm not sure if you need the leptin reset based on how Dr Kruse explained who needs it, but if it helps, so what? I'm in the same boat. I did it to switch from grazing to see what happens.

Have you tried taking the progesterone at bedtime? It can help with sleep, especially if you are on other hormones.

Thanks for the compliment! I did talk to Dr. Kruse on his blog, and he said that with 35% body fat and high Reverse T3, I needed to do the reset, and he told me not to exceed 25 net carbs, to boot.

I apply progesterone cream in the morning, I take progesterone pills at bedtime (they do help me sleep), I take T3/T4 two hours after breakfast and I have a testosterone implant in my backside that gets replaced every four months. I am BHRTed up, baby!
