Have been adhering 100% to my WOE and work-out schedule, but began experiencing a slow down in results. Although I hesitated to do it, I tried a re-feed/cheat meal yesterday in order to increase my levels of leptin. If I notice a difference, I may include a cheat meal once/week, or maybe once every two weeks.
"One way cheat meals can boost the metabolism is by increasing levels of leptin, the “anti-starvation” hormone responsible for sending hunger messages to the body. When your body senses a calorie deficit, leptin levels drop, prompting the metabolism to slow down and conserve energy. Throwing a calorie-rich cheat meal into the mix tricks your system into thinking food is plentiful and that it’s OK to burn through fat stores. In the context of strict dieting, cheat meals can aid weight loss by temporarily boosting leptin. But if you’ve been lax with your meal plan, the leptin argument is a moot point." http://www.loseweightwithorigin.com/weight-loss-plateau/
