I've been struggling with weight loss most of my life I participated in the food addicts anonymous diet which allows no sugar, wheat, or flour and lost 30lbs when I began sparkpeople I realized I hadn't been eating nearly enough but yet again lost the 30lbs I had regained. No matter how much or little I eat or exercise I lose 30lbs and then the weight loss stops. I believe I may be leptin resistant when I monitor my blood glucose it moves a little slowly but not in a manner normally attributed to pre-diabetes or diabetes. Is leptin resistance still a current topic in the field or is there something I may spend my time more appropriately researching. Most of my calories in a day come from fruits veggies nuts and seeds I drink a glass of cherry juice in the morning a cup of coffee and the rest of the day it's water all day this is another reason I believe I have a reason to be concerned about my weight being what it is 90 percent of the time i eat very healthfully and not in excess.
