    Seems to provide a fairly balanced review.

    And for education on leptin. He actually references some studies the other link says don't exist.

    That diet just sounds like any other restrictive diet. If it's free go for it. If it costs money I wouldn't waste your money.
    If you can't see yourself sustaining that way of eating, or adhering well while eating it - I also wouldn't waste your time.

    Are you diagnosed with this? If you are you should be discussing this with your doctor or nutritional specialist. If you're not, perhaps you should consult with a doctor or nutritional specialist.

    yeah, I think anyone who is obese has some degree of leptin resistance...

    Eat less, move more.
    Pick foods you like, eat a lot of whole foods, mostly plants. Make sure to eat enough protein and fats. Hit those macros in your FOOD diary, that's the easiest way. That's it.

    Keep it Simple.
