Leptin

Hi everyone, I started reading a book by Dr. Ron Rosedale MD, called The Rosedale Diet. It is quite eye opening! He discovered a hormone called Leptin that is the actual cause of Diabetes! High blood sugars are just a symptom. What I know is this, if you can find the cause, and correct it, you can treat the disease. So now, I want my Doctor to give me a Leptin test which is a blood test and if my readings are above normal, it means that I have Leptin Resistance and my Leptin is not working for me. So, what I need to do now, is get my Leptin more normal. Of course, I have lost my book! I have been carrying it around with me for 2 weeks now, and it is gone. Boo Hoo! What I do know is this, we all need to be eating a lot of good fat, like olive oil, avacados and fish oils. Usana has a great fish oil, Biomega, that for sure has no Mercury in it. I have decieded to go all out in my effort to become very healthy, and I am eating good oils, taking my Usana, and eating lots and lots of veggies. Veggies are the good carbs and they fill you up because they are mostly fiber. I am also eating small amounts of meat and soy for my protein and I am full and happy and excited for the future of being more healthy!
