Do you know, Our diet and lifestyle has a direct effect on our endocrine system?
Leptin and insulin are two powerful hormones that influence how energy is metabolized throughout the body.
Leptin, a hormon produced mainly in fat cell, plays a key role by sending the message to our brian to store or burn fat to regulate energy use via metabolism, hunger and appetite.
Insulin, produced in pancreas, has several functions, but in simple workds, it can regulate blood glucose usage and store in our body.
No eating or intake too few calories on a regular basis, body cells can become lower sensitivity or resistants to leptin and insulin. As a result, the body requires higher level of those hormons to receive proper signals, therefore people will always feel cravings, hunger and feel lack of energy, which leads to unwanted fat gain.
In a long run, the metabolic systems become imbalanced and increasing the risk of developing diseases such diabetic and heart disease.
Good news is, those chronic diseases are preventabed as our hormone regulation can change based on what we choose to eat and how we choose to live.
Its never too late to change your eating habit and lifestyle, just Start NOW!!

How to loss weight fast?
Have you ever curious about why some people are still slim even though they eat a lot while the others seems put on weight so easily even only have one meal a day? Or have you notice that you start to putting on weight years by years but you were having the same amount of diet?
The reason could be vary but metabolic rate is the main factor. Higher metabolic rate helps burning more calories, therefore, increase in metabolic rate helps us to lose weight.
To increasing metabolic rate, we need to have good eating habits, good life style such as enough sleep, regular exercise, adequate water and well- balanced meals.
For some people who have no time to take good care of their 3 meals per day, instead of chooseing fast food and fizzy drinks, it would be better to replace 1-2 meals by nutrient-balalnced shakes and every now and then add mineral and vitamins into your daily life.
By following those simple things, we can all loss weight in a healthy way.

I've heard some poeple who are trying to loss weight states feeling hungry easily by just haveing shakes for breakfast.
According to research, high quality protein not only help maintain lean muscles but also allows people to feel fuller longer and stay energized. So just add few spoons of proein powder into the shake for breakfast can help extend the time of feeling fullness and reduce food intake.
For people who want to get enough daily protein but don't want to take extra calories, just add those protein powder into your drink, soup or shakes.
Take right amount of protein everyday can help build up our lean muscles. The more lean muscle we have, the higher metabolism, and therefore burning more calories to help with weight management.
