Thread: leptin reset p3

No not everyone is doing it. The only thing different about it is the timing of the meals and going a minimum of 4 hours between food intake. The actual food you eat is the same. It just really helps with stabilization and fixes insulin issues when done for about 6 weeks.

He says it's necessary for the insulin issues to resolve. And I will say that since starting it, my middle section has slimmed amazingly even with no weight loss.

I want to do this but the thread is so long. Is there a rundown of it somewhere of what and when you eat? and for how long you need to do it?

It just seems so "this is the only way you can......" and I don't think that about anything except my salvation.

LOL- amen, sister! richards is not quite as adamant about particulars like kruse is:

marie- richard's basics are above, here are kruse's: http://jackkruse.com/my-leptin-prescription/

Thanks!

i don't know...this sounds harder to do than p2! not snacking at all between meals..going for 5-6 hrs between meals...not eating large meals...not eating fatty foods. is this really something you are 'supposed' to do on p3? i thought in p3 we were supposed to consume 1500-2000 calories, use heavy cream, butter, coconut oil, etc. what about all the people who are snacking on cocoa crack?! is this better to try after p3 and when you're into p4?

ps. how long do you have to live by the 5 rules before it starts to feel 'normal'?

richards doesn't say. kruse says 6-8 wks, but i think that's for those who are pretty healthy to start off with.

you don't have to do this in P2- you don't have to eat that many calories, either. just use common sense- people start thinking of "rules" for P3 and pretty soon they're doing all kinds of crazy things. don't limit your calories but don't stuff yourself, either. if you avoid sugar and starch it's easier to keep from gaining- but you'll gain if you overload on stuff like nuts and cheese. eat plenty of protein, LOTS of salads and veggies, some healthy fat, and a small amount of fruit.

richards says 4 hrs between meals. if you're waiting 5-6 then you basically can't eat 3 meals a day unless you eat late, which you're not supposed to do. the one thing i don't like about richards is that if you're only eating 400-500 per meal (for women) and you can't snack, you don't have any options if you're hungry. i think some people (moi) might need more food than that.

remember that this is all new- there are a few people doing it, but they haven't done it for more than a 6 wks or so, so the results are really not in yet at this point.

Ok, I think I have misunderstood something along the way. I thought it was high protein with fat for breakfast? Now I know from times before, if I load up on protein and fat, I won't get hungry for hours and would only eat like twice for the day. I did the same thing last year when I started using coconut oil to scramble my eggs or adding it to my coffee. Dropped 15 pounds cause the coconut oil kept me from craving fat in other foods. I got to where I didn't want the skin off the chicken or a fatty steak. I would peel the skin off (even original recipe chicken from KFC which I LOVE) and the dogs would get more scraps cause I couldn't bring myself to eat much of the fat from a steak. So I was thinking the protein and fat was the reasoning behind not getting hungry?
My body does not like raw veggies and makes me hurt...bad at times. I can get away with a salad on occasion but for the most part, I need them cooked to soften them up. I hope that will work out at least if I stay away from the high carb veggies?
Limiting cheese is going to be tough for me cause I swear, I am like a rat! I have learned to stay away from shredded and most sliced cheese due to the starches at least.
