Hi guys! I read some articles on the role of ghrelin (hunger hormone) and leptin ("fullness" hormone) during weight loss, and honestly it was pretty demoralizing. My understanding is that there is somewhat of a consensus that the ghrelin levels are higher in overweight/obese people, and that these values do not decrease after weight loss. People who were once fat needs to deal with increased hunger for the rest of their lives, and that this is one of the reasons why nearly 80% gain weight back after losing it. It just feels pointless to do anything if this is the reality of losing weight. There are things you can do to lower the ghrelin levels such as sleeping more, but it does not feel sustainable..
Does anyone know anthing about this subject who could share their insights? Maybe someone here has already lost weight and can speak from experience?
