Matthew.. you have such insight. I am not a fan as such, but I do greatly appreciate your work. I truly respect a man that can embrace both his Masculine and Feminine nature. Actually, this goes to both of these wonderful men. Thank you, you are both old souls.

The information here is what we need to educate people about. It sucks that we cannot trust all the information out there and need to do the self-education for us. But the bright side is that knowledge will always make us better, more enlightened, more aware of issues. Appreciate it, Lewis.

There is a hormone called leptin (I think). It exists in our “fat cells”. Once the fat cells get filled to a certain point, leptin is released. Leptin tells us that we’re full.

People who have lots of fat have developed lots of fat cells, more than people who are thin and who also have never had lots of fat. The fat cells never die, even after losing all the body fat.

Once someone who once had lots of fat loses all that fat, it takes more food to fill up the fat cells to release that leptin to tell us we’re full, because there are so many of them.

So, eating can be a delicate balance for people who have lost fat. It takes more than waiting for that fullness feeling from the leptin.

This is awesome Lewis. Thank you. My parents lost almost everything in the recession of 2008. My father had invested heavily in the stock market with money he had worked hard to earn, had prospered even further from it until he didn’t. He was a loving family man who felt guilty about trying to make his family more financially secure in the long run. It wasn’t about greed for him, it was about ensuring that his family was well looked after. He made the mistake of not pulling out before the recession hit. He didn’t have insider knowledge of the oncoming financial slaughter. His intentions were honorable and the legacy he left behind was that people are more important than wealth. He felt immense guilt over it but for his family, he was far more important to us than wealth.
