Jan '25 (edited) • General discussion

Here's the short version - who remembers "Coles Notes" or "Cliff Notes"?🤣

Here’s the simple list (without detailed explanations) of the 15 hormones of fat loss:🔥

Leptin – Regulates hunger and signals fullness.
Ghrelin – Stimulates hunger (the "hunger hormone").
Insulin – Controls blood sugar and promotes fat storage.
Glucagon – Promotes fat breakdown and energy use.
Cortisol – Stress hormone that can increase fat storage.
Adiponectin – Enhances fat burning and insulin sensitivity.
Norepinephrine (Adrenaline) – Stimulates fat breakdown during stress or exercise.
Thyroid Hormones (TSH, T3 and T4) – Regulate metabolism and calorie burning.
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) – Promotes fat loss and muscle preservation.
Testosterone – Helps build muscle and reduces fat storage.
Estrogen – Affects fat storage and distribution, especially in women.
Peptide YY (PYY) – Reduces appetite and signals fullness.
Irisin – Converts white fat to brown fat and boosts fat burning.
GLP-1 (Glucagon-like Peptide-1) – Slows digestion and decreases hunger.
Reverse T3 - Under conditions like stress, illness, or starvation, the body diverts T4 away from T3 production and instead increases rT3 production.
