Leptin was sources of organic meats

[Guest guest]

For a good source on reading and understanding Leptin (and what to do about

it, to get your body back to utilizing Leptin properly so that you can lose

weight), there is a book by n called ³Cheat to Lose². I just

finished reading it at 4 a.m. This morning. It is well written and a very

quick read, but once you get through it you will feel like you have a good

handle on understanding Leptin and it¹s importance in optimal health and

weight loss.
