What Is Leptin Resistance?


Before we saw the world as a globe spinning in the vast expanse of space we once believed it was flat and the sun revolved around us.
Before we knew the dangers of mercury—as a neurotoxin and overall health no-no—it was once considered the go-to treatment for a host of medical conditions, for everything from syphilis to parasites.
Before we had modern health-conscious cosmetics women would adorn themselves with lead-filled face paint and wash their skin with ammonia. They would slowly poison themselves but were convinced it was essential for true beauty.
The knowledge we have gained over the years has not come without a fair share of innocent misunderstandings, but thankfully, as we know more we are able to make more informed choices based on actual science, on truth, on what works. It is crucial we build our actions on a foundation of truth.
Our beliefs about weight loss have centered around constantly shifting paradigms. Throughout the decades we have blamed various things for our inability to lose weight and keep it off - high-fat foods, carbohydrates, calories, lack of motivation, genetics.... We have, in a way, been the people who thought the sun orbited us.
Deep down we may sense there’s another reason for our inability to control our appetite and our expanding waistline, but just don’t know what it is. If you look at the diet and health industry we have created you’ll see the answers we’re fed about the obesity epidemic. We are supplied new “answers” and “solutions” all the time, and so—full of hope—we try them, only to be disappointed when we end up back where we started.
What if I told you the health industry has got it all wrong?
What if I were to tell you that we actually have the solution for why you have gained weight and been unable to lose it?
Would you believe me?
If you’re anything like the people I’ve just described, the people who have trusted the “answers” and “solutions” in the past, probably not. You may be burnt out on hope.... Yet, you are reading these words so there must be some trace of hope left, and I want to work with that tiny bit of remaining hope to change your life. And I mean it.
We’re here to show you a new way, to point you in the direction of the actual cause of your weight gain. No more blaming the wrong thing, looking in the wrong direction, no more wasting your time.

The Real Cause
This new direction starts with something called leptin. Never heard of leptin before? You’re not the only one. This hormone is a lesser known player in our hormonal system (which is sad since it is responsible for so much within our body.) Did you know leptin helps regulate bone mass, the menstrual cycle, the synthesis of thyroid hormones, our appetite and metabolism? And this is just scratching the surface.
Leptin is known as the “obesity hormone” and the “fat hormone.” A pretty big clue for what it’s responsible for.
When our body operates faultlessly, as a well-oiled machine, leptin would be produced by your body’s fat cells and communicate with the hypothalamus (in our brain) via the bloodstream. The amount of leptin would determine whether the body stores fat or loses it, “a minor increase in leptin concentration reduces the appetite and leads to a decrease in body weight."(1) This is how things are supposed to work: a high level of leptin in the body informs your brain that there is enough fat stored, you are not starving—you will survive - and so your appetite is switched off and you burn more fat. Similarly, if your body fat were to decrease, leptin should follow suit and diminish, signalling to your brain to stop burning fat—to store the fat you have—to increase your appetite and prompt you to eat.
This is how things are supposed to function. But what happens when something interrupts the balance which our body is meant to keep? That’s when leptin resistance occurs, and this leptin resistance is the reason for our fruitless (yet well-intentioned) attempts to take control of our health and body. Once you are leptin resistant you won’t lose the weight no matter how little you eat or how much exercise you do.
Thankfully, there is a way out. Your life doesn’t need to be ruled by leptin resistance, there is something you can do. Real results. Real science. No wishing for the best. And this is where we come in. If you’ve had enough of the endless trying and disappointment, if you’ve had enough of feeling like a prisoner in your body and a prisoner to food then a product called Leptitox may help. It is a ground-breaking supplement program that addresses the root cause and breaks the devastating cycle of weight gain once and for all.
Here you will find answers, you will get relief, you will have a plan of action that works.

Why Veganism RUINS Your Brain


By Dave From Paleohacks
Creator of the Paleohacks Cookbook


Did you know there’s NEVER been a culture that survived without eating animal products in the entire history of mankind? But that lifestyle sure is trendy now. You don’t have to look hard to find someone swearing up and down how great their “animal-free” vegan diet makes them feel. Usually they try to get YOU to start eating like them too…

Most vegans telling you this don’t exactly look like fitness models. A lot of them are “skinny fat”—without an ounce of muscle on their bodies. But they aren’t just unhealthy on the outside. They’re sick on the INSIDE too. The way they eat ruins their brains.

Did you know that meat, fish, and eggs are the ONLY concentrated sources of vitamin B12, vitamin D, and omega-3 fats around? And that those nutrients play KEY roles when it comes to brain health? Vegans don’t eat any of these things, and they pay the price...

But you don’t have to. Let’s find out the truth about veganism (and a better way for you to get healthy):

Veganism Starves Your Brain of Vital Nutrients

You can only get some nutrients (like vitamin C) from plants…

But there are others you can only get from ANIMALS.

So when you ELIMINATE one of these food groups—like vegans want you to do—you can only imagine the disaster that occurs in your brain.
One of the biggest nutrients vegans miss out on? Vitamin B12.

Every cell in your body uses vitamin B12. It’s especially important for keeping your brain working properly.

A study published in the journal Annals of Nutrition and Metabolism found that 92% of vegans DON’T have enough vitamin B12! That’s a recipe for fatigue, memory loss, and all kinds of other neurological problems.

It takes YEARS for ex-vegans to build their low vitamin B levels back up. One study compared kids who used to be vegans with kids who always ate meat…

The ex-vegans had worse “fluid intelligence” and “short-term memory”—even years after they quit vegan diets.

Omega-3s fatty acids protect you against diseases, depression, and even ADHD…

Vegans aren’t getting NEARLY enough of those, either. You can get some from plants, but it’s much harder for your body to process them from plants than animals.

A study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that vegans have around HALF the omega-3 levels that meat-eaters do!

Veganism Isn’t A Shred Healthier Than Eating Meat

Vegans love to say they live longer, healthier lives than people who eat meat…

Lies. Despite what vegans say, there are ZERO controlled trials showing veganism is healthier than eating meat.

They might throw some studies at you… supposedly “proving” their lifestyle is the best. But the studies they use DON’T show that vegan diets lead to better health.

Vegans also usually don’t smoke. They don’t drink much, and they exercise. So it’s impossible to prove their DIET (instead of their lifestyle) makes them healthy.

The vegan diet might be better than the typical diet “mainstream” nutrition groups recommend. But practically any other diet is better than that nonsense.

There’s NO scientific reason to avoid eating animals—especially when they give you so many nutrients your brain NEEDS to work.

Does taking HANDFULS of supplements to make up for all the nutrients you’re missing out on sound like the “best” way to eat to you?

You deserve better than that…

“Isn’t There a Better Way?”

If you care about your brain working right, veganism is a perfect example of what NOT to do.

But you’re probably wondering what you should do instead…

There’s a better way—a way based on THOUSANDS of years of real-life experience.

The PaleoHacks Cookbook shows you how to embrace that new way of life.

It’s all about eating how your ancestors used to eat. When you eat REAL foods you were meant to eat (including animals), great things happen. Your brain hums along without a hitch. You wake up in the morning with boundless energy. You feel (and look) younger.

With nearly 200 recipes to choose from, it’s simple to find plenty of healthy, delicious meals that boost your brain—and your body.

It doesn’t matter if you’re busy or new to the kitchen. The cookbook breaks down how to prepare every dish step-by-step. All you have to do is follow along… and enjoy the delicious meals!
