i dont even know what that means....
you do know you just contradicted yourself in the space of those 6 lines...?
and honestly, you need to speak to a professional if you dont think your body deserves food.0 -

Yeh, I think the help we're offering you is that you go and speak to a professional about your diet. This kind of thread is well beyond the realms of general public MFP talk and it's getting to sound quite a serious issue. If anything, a lot of people in this thread are here because they love food too much - like me! To be exchanging conversation with someone who has a passionate disliking for food and just sees it as something that is needed to survive despite the hatred, is strange for us all, and it's quite a serious psychological issue. The actual thread subject has become completely irrelevant.0

I think we're long past anyone being able to give you any advice you're likely to take. My post doesn't tell you to do anything. It suggests you get professional help, like many other posts on here. They may be able to help with your cravings. But if we all had a miracle cure for that none of us would be fat!

Sorry, enough already. This is typical teenager attitude. I know, because I have two of them. You do not know everything. Some of us on here have been doing this for longer than you have been alive and in some cases double the number of years you have been alive. So get over yourself. Everyone is trying to help you but you refuse to listen.
Get some professional help. Most of us are just a bunch of people that love food and got fat and are learning how to lose weight and keep it off while still loving food. You cannot live life with an unhealthy relationship with food.0 -

I'm going to try to take your request seriously....
Try this site for some leptin changes: http://wellnessmama.com/5356/fix-your-leptin/
Also, the more you stress about food vs cravings vs exercise, the less likely you'll be able to change your leptin levels. Honestly, the more you work out (workouts add stress to the body) and the more you defy your craving for sustenance (also adds stress to the body), the more likely your leptin levels will resist change. If you truly don't "like" food, then focus your sustenance intake on those foods packed with protein and healthy fats (nuts, lean meats....) Also, keep this in mind: the changes you were able to accomplish at 228 pounds are significantly different than what you can expect at 158 pounds.
On another serious point, talk to a professional to seek advice specifically related to your body -- talk to a personal trainer about getting the most out of your workouts to achieve a less than 20% bf if that is your goal. Talk to a nutritionist about how to provide healthy nutrition to keep your body functioning well (this may mean a change in your macros). Talk to you physician to be certain there isn't another hormone issue that is preventing you from achieving your goals. At the same time, if these PROFESSIONALS give advice, then be ready to actually try it rather than disregard it because you think you know better.0 -

OP is looking to increase leptin, not reduce it.0 -

Besides your body and psychology, what else is there?0

Until you stop thinking that food is evil, I'm not sure how you are going to solve your problem. I remember your posts from last week as well. Your body fat is going to drop in time once you continue to do the right things to gain strength, burn fat, and eat at the point that your body doesn't need to store fat. Starting different threads isn't going to help you solve the same problem.0

How tall are you? 158 is pretty small for a guy. How much more did you want to lose?0
