I’m asking in reference to having a high weight, losing the weight on keto, and any effects it may have as the leptin resistance lowers.
More Context: My question is heavily centered on not feeling hungry for months as I eat the exact same thing. Now out of nowhere I’m starving mid-day. No changes in the quantity of protein and the veggies per meal. My work assigned health coach said could be the leptin in my system coming down.
This doesn’t track for me. As far as my knowledge extended, if my leptin resistance is coming down than I get the full feeling sooner, thus eating less overall. Anyway, I’m here asking under the assumption I don’t really understand the role leptin plays. I appreciate any clarity. -Thanks

Leptin level correlate with body fat.
More fat = more leptin.
Lose weight = less appetite suppression.
But also remember that Ghrelin is the hunger hormone. As you lose weight ghrelin levels go up.
