That WLI just provide you with a hormone that regulates your appetite.

It seems that some people have sufficient of this hormone and others don't.

I can hardly believe that the propensity to over eat is hormone regulated, but there it is!

I voted you are being unreasonable, because so much of your body is affected by hormones, why wouldn't this be? Sexual desire is very much affected by hormones, why wouldn't desire for food be?

The WLI was the first time I knew what it was like not to be plagued by thought of food and hunger.

People who ‘eat what they want and don’t gain weight’ have zero clue what it’s like. It’s not an appetite suppressant (or wasn’t for me) - it gave me a normal appetite and the space to make good choices. It’s revolutionary.

I just never realised that the desire to eat was regulated by hormones. I suspect most people don’t realise that, including anyone giving diet advice

I agree, which is why the scales fell from my eyes when I realised it was hormone driven

Ghrelin and leptin have been known about for years but people refuse to believe it preferring to listen to the likes of Slimming world and other such nonsense
