How\u2019s that possible? It has to do with leptin. Here\u2019s why and how to do it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>\nLeptin And The World\u2019s Fastest Workout<\/h3>\n<p>The body isn\u2019t a simple, linear, or straightforward machine \u2013 it\u2019s complex. And overcomplicating the fat-loss process usually backfires. But just because the physiology is messy doesn\u2019t mean your actions can\u2019t be simple and effective.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding the hormone leptin may help uncover the answers to getting leaner. The good news? Making this hormone work for you instead of against you only takes 30-seconds a day\u2026 30 very INTENSE seconds.<\/p>\n<p>First, here\u2019s a short crash course on leptin.<\/p>\n<h3>\nWhat Is Leptin Anyway?<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/36287b91ddf7ad4edca52274b50b31c15377da65.jpeg\" alt=\"Leptin\" data-base62-sha1=\"7J6w41Oh5meoO1bCRa5I7FjyA0l\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Leptin was discovered by researchers in the &#8217;50s. Fast forward to the &#8217;90s when it was \u201crediscovered,\u201d and many predicted it would be the biggest weight loss breakthrough ever.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a hormone that\u2019s released primarily by fat cells (adipocytes) and works to regulate appetite, body fat mass, and basal metabolic rate. Until just a few years ago, researchers thought fat cells were just storage facility for unsightly body fat. We know now that they\u2019re very <a href=\"https:\/\/www.t-nation.com\/supplements\/the-5-different-types-of-body-fat\/\">metabolically active<\/a>, releasing and receiving a myriad of messenger hormones, one of which is leptin.<\/p>\n<p>Leptin travels up to the brain where it acts on receptors in the hypothalamus to inhibit appetite. More leptin in your brain = less food intake.<\/p>\n<p>This is great news for anyone looking to get leaner since more leptin means you\u2019ll be less likely to overeat. Leptin is your body\u2019s way of putting the brakes on fat gain by decreasing appetite.<\/p>\n<p>The chronic level of leptin you have is also a rough measure of the amount of fat you have on your body. Many things can affect leptin:<\/p>\n<h4>\nFactors Promoting Leptin Secretion<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Excess energy stored as fat (obesity)<\/li>\n<li>Overfeeding<\/li>\n<li>Glucose<\/li>\n<li>Insulin<\/li>\n<li>Glucocorticoids<\/li>\n<li>Estrogens<\/li>\n<li>Inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor and Interleukin-6 (acute effect)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>\nFactors Inhibiting Leptin Secretion<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Fasting<\/li>\n<li>Catecholamines and adrenergic agonists<\/li>\n<li>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.t-nation.com\/sex-hormones\/what-you-dont-know-about-your-thyroid\/\">Thyroid<\/a> hormones<\/li>\n<li>Androgens<\/li>\n<li>Low energy states with decreased fat stores (leanness)<\/li>\n<li>Peroxisome proliferator\u2013activated receptor-agonists<\/li>\n<li>Inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor (prolonged effect)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>\nHow Obese Mice Got Sexy Fast<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/5dcd1de1665d498c6cf6c2d832262d5ea8981fdf.jpeg\" alt=\"Mice\" data-base62-sha1=\"dnNREcWhtsn06dHgDJw3G0yk4KH\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Researchers in the &#8217;90s did a series of mouse experiments to show that mice with messed-up leptin became profoundly obese. Their metabolic rate was lower, they didn\u2019t move as much, and they ate tons of food.<\/p>\n<p>The mice didn\u2019t make any leptin at all. To make the mice lean, they injected it with leptin, and voila \u2013 thin mice again!<\/p>\n<p>The researchers thought this was the solution to the obesity problems: just inject humans with leptin and poof, thin humans. The problem is, it didn\u2019t work. Researchers measured blood levels of leptin in obese humans and found that their leptin levels were sky high!<\/p>\n<p>That wasn\u2019t supposed to happen. Leptin levels were expected to be low since the humans were fat. As leptin increases, it tells the brain that the body has enough fat. So you see why they would expect low leptin levels in obese populations.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, when injected with leptin (thus increasing the level), the mice in the studies got thinner. But the obese humans already had high levels of leptin. Injecting more leptin was like pissing in the ocean to try to raise the water level.<\/p>\n<p>What researchers discovered was that the receptor for leptin may be what\u2019s out of whack in the obese. The receptor isn\u2019t telling the brain that leptin is high. They may have tons of leptin, but the brain can\u2019t tell since the receptor is broken. So the answer for leanness isn\u2019t about increasing leptin but increasing the body\u2019s sensitivity to it.<\/p>\n<h3>\nExercise That Increases Leptin Signaling<\/h3>\n<div class=\"lightbox-wrapper\"><a class=\"lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/24e2b840680c2f3d073242b13faca8341943d86e.jpeg\" data-download-href=\"\/uploads\/short-url\/5giVTeqqytKhrOooJ6Es90v59hA.jpeg?dl=1\" title=\"Bike Workout\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/24e2b840680c2f3d073242b13faca8341943d86e_2_689x388.jpeg\" alt=\"Bike Workout\" data-base62-sha1=\"5giVTeqqytKhrOooJ6Es90v59hA\" width=\"689\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/24e2b840680c2f3d073242b13faca8341943d86e_2_689x388.jpeg, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/24e2b840680c2f3d073242b13faca8341943d86e_2_1033x582.jpeg 1.5x, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/24e2b840680c2f3d073242b13faca8341943d86e.jpeg 2x\" data-dominant-color=\"826C5B\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Sprint training is a great way to burn fat, but it may have another benefit. Researchers in 2011 looked at sprints as a leptin-signaling mimetic.<\/p>\n<p>This study used a group of fit people who were pretty lean (about 15% body fat) and young (23 years old). They split them into two groups: a fasting group, and a glucose group which ingested 75 grams of glucose an hour before sprints.<\/p>\n<p>Both groups did one Wingate bike sprint for only 30 seconds. If you\u2019re not familiar with this setup: you hop on a bike with the resistance set to a high workload (10% of body weight used here) and pedal like a rabid grizzly bear is chasing you.<\/p>\n<p>Subjects had a series of muscle biopsies done throughout the study, and researchers found that a single session of sprint training showed alterations in leptin signaling.<\/p>\n<p>The sprints were jacking up leptin that, in theory, should cause obese to start dropping fat. However, this wasn\u2019t seen in the group that ingested glucose before their sprint. Only the fasted group saw leptin alterations. It appears insulin may interfere with leptin signaling to some degree.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers said that sprints done while fasting elicited signaling like what was found in the rodents\u2019 muscle after receiving leptin injections. But glucose ingestion before the exercise diminished the effect.<\/p>\n<p>So it appears that fasted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.t-nation.com\/training\/lose-belly-fat-workout\/\">sprint training<\/a> can pinch hit for leptin and sensitivity to it.<\/p>\n<h3>\nSample Sprint Workout<\/h3>\n<div class=\"lightbox-wrapper\"><a class=\"lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/f29c47df0edf675f28ffaab2d4842f569f726b83.jpeg\" data-download-href=\"\/uploads\/short-url\/yCenqhF69ORJ0XomgM69qFbeCwb.jpeg?dl=1\" title=\"Metcon Workout\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/f29c47df0edf675f28ffaab2d4842f569f726b83_2_689x388.jpeg\" alt=\"Metcon Workout\" data-base62-sha1=\"yCenqhF69ORJ0XomgM69qFbeCwb\" width=\"689\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/f29c47df0edf675f28ffaab2d4842f569f726b83_2_689x388.jpeg, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/f29c47df0edf675f28ffaab2d4842f569f726b83_2_1033x582.jpeg 1.5x, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/f29c47df0edf675f28ffaab2d4842f569f726b83.jpeg 2x\" data-dominant-color=\"655A54\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Want to give this a shot?

Non-fasted training doesn\u2019t have the same effect.<\/li>\n<li>Fasted sprints can be done any time on a fasting day or done before breakfast.

Mainly because this method (a single 30-second fasted sprint) isn\u2019t what most people are thinking when they think \u201ccardio.\u201d It\u2019s not really cardio, which is basically getting your heart rate up and <em>keeping it up<\/em> for a prolonged period of time. This is a different thing.<\/p>\n<p>In the studies we\u2019ve written about, most compared a standard cardio session done fed to a standard cardio session done fasted. Both types of cardio workouts were the same: duration, intensity, etc.<\/p>\n<p>As I recall, doing fasted cardio might lead to 2 extra pounds of fat loss over a 6-month period versus fed cardio of the same type for the same time period. And that\u2019s being generous with the math. (But maybe that\u2019s worth it for some people?)<\/p>\n<p>But that doesn\u2019t account for the possible monkey wrenches: muscle loss, elevated cortisol, etc. Steroid-using coaches and bodybuilders were all over fasted cardio, but the drugs made those possible issues moot, as bodybuilding drugs tend to do.<\/p>\n<p>Also, 2 possible pounds of extra fat loss in 6 months can be achieved in ways that don\u2019t involve early morning fasted cardio, like\u2026 eating one less bite of food every night at dinner, having one beer instead of three on the weekend, etc. In other words, some pretty minor diet changes.<\/p>\n<p>So, am I crapping on this 30-second sprint method?
