Even though it is injectable, I do it every night and trust me it is no big deal compared to the hell of severe leptin deficiency. I don't think they realize just how hard it is to diet and maintain weight. People who are willing to make that commitment will have *no* problem doing a nightly injection. Injectible leptin for the ex-morbidly obese is the easy option, compared to a lifetime of starvation (and starvation-related complications like amenorrhea and osteoporosis). Morbidly obese people are already mutilating their intestines in the hope it will cause *some* sustained weight loss... and after the weight loss they are very vulnerable to regaining weight (even WITH the surgery) and/or addictions (probably due to the starvation state). Then there is the third alternative: not dieting and not having surgery, staying fat. The drawbacks to that choice are obvious. Compared to these choices, leptin injections after diet look easy, don't they? Leptin doesn't make you thin, all it does is allow your body to work more like it did the first day of a diet.

Looking forward to the next one. You mention exercise briefly in part 4 - do you know whether there is any evidence for exercise having an effect on leptin sensitivity in the same way as it does on insulin sensitivity?
