From Leptin, low-carb and hunger:
When your fat cells are full, they send a signal (leptin) to your brain [...].
That’s the way it works in a perfect world. That’s the way it worked in our Paleolithic past. [...] Have all these obese people quit making leptin?
No, far from it. Obese people make a large amount of leptin, way more than non-obese people in fact, but they are resistant to the effects of their own leptin in much the same way they’re resistant to the effects of their own insulin.
