13. • When we eat
normally
• Body calories/ fat
goes up
• Resulting rise in
Leptin level
• Leptin sends signal
to brain that no
further need of
calories.
• Resulting we eat less and
burn more.
• When we eat less
• Body calories/ fat
goes down
• Resulting fall in
Leptin level
• Leptin sends signal
to brain about more
need of calories.
• Resulting we eat
more and burn less
