Together, Insulin and Leptin resistance can make it difficult to lose weight and can accelerate fat accumulation, leading to obesity and other metabolic disorders such as Type 2 diabetes.
When both leptin and insulin resistance happen together (which is common in overweight people), they make things worse:
- Leptin resistance makes you hungrier and slows down how much energy you burn
- Insulin resistance causes your body to store more fat
- Storing more fat exacerbate leptin and insulin resistance.
Both types of resistance increases as you gain more fat which leads to a cycle that makes it harder to lose weight. This can ultimately result in obesity and health issues such as type 2 diabetes.
