We generally are not in the habit of checking leptin levels. Although clearly leptin is crucial in it's role regarding obesity, current evidence suggests that Leptin levels in obese patients actually almost always run high, but the body no longer responds - so, we are leptin resistant (like insulin resistance in diabetes). With weight loss, leptin levels go way down causing a surge in Grehlin, which makes us very hungry. Leptin has been studied and found ineffective in weight loss; however hope exists that it may be helpful as a maintenance drug following weight loss. A company, Amylin Pharmaceuticals, has a Leptin compound in development - a combination of metraleptin and Symlin. But, currently, checking Leptin levels is expensive and offers no clinical usefulness - that might not be true in years to come! Debbie – thanks for the question.

Add a small jar of your favorite salsa, and cook until chicken shreds apart easily (around 6 hours) Add some jalapenos or green chiles, lime juice (or whatever you like!) at the end of cooking time. This is awesome to put on a bed of lettuce with a little lowfat cheese, plain yogurt (instead of sour cream) and black beans for a taco salad! Or put it in a corn tortilla with some cilantro/cabbage slaw! Yum, Tracey!…Another easy crock pot idea:
