Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 19 year old female. How to increase my leptin sensitivity to increase my metabolism? After losing 12 kg, now I am gaining weight easily. Also, my shape gets ruined as I am gaining weight in the wrong place. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. To increase your leptin sensitivity, it's essential to lose weight. Insulin resistance often leads to leptin resistance, so it's crucial to control insulin levels. Since sugar intake raises insulin levels, reducing sugar consumption can improve insulin resistance and aid in weight loss. Regular exercise, along with a diet rich in green vegetables and green tea, can be beneficial. Consider following a strict and effective diet plan to achieve your weight loss goals. Remember, adherence is key to success.
