If FBCx is, in effect, reducing my caloric intake by 25-30%, am I going to be hungry all the time?
A. Not necessarily. We have found in our animal studies that the hormone leptin is significantly decreased when FBCx is consumed. This is the hormone that tells the brain to stop eating. Unfortunately, obese individuals have elevated leptin levels and reduced sensitivity to it. In some manner, FBCx reduces blood leptin levels, and appears to increase the brain’s sensitivity to leptin, thus increasing satiety and decreasing appetite.
