Will a CHEAT DAY help you LOSE WEIGHT? | Leptin, Metabolism & Fat Burning

Leptin is a hormone secreted by your fat cells that tells the body to ramp up energy expenditure and decrease energy intake. Low levels of leptin will cause you to be hungrier and feel more lethargic because of reduced energy expenditure. The body has this mechanism in place in order to prevent you from getting too fat or too thin. But is this actually true?
