Apologies if I’ve misread this

in the section about leptin he seems to be saying leptin is high but there could be an issue with leptin receptors and people put on weight and low carb is a good way of trying to address this. Then much further on he says that people with ME are thin and have low BP.

Would the issue be that people have high leptin which makes some lack appetite and become skinny & reduce BP whilst others could have high leptin but receptors are not functioning so they have no satiety and become obese.

As an overweight person Low carb is working well for me and I can do 16:8 eating pattern without a problem I have no appetite from when I wake until lunchtime. When I do eat any high GI carbs I get noticeably hungrier. I am convinced I have a leptin issue.

Not discussed with GP or tested of course.

I am seriously overweight and high BP so don’t fit with his description of ME patients generally but if I have leptin receptor issue that does fit with what he’s saying.


Had dessert at lunchtime today so brain has been sugarised which leads to increased rambling
