Photo: My idea of a “big ass breakfast” would be just the steak with real butter, but for my “big ass supper,” I add sauteed veggies…in this case, sweet onions, summer squash, zucchini, and herbs. (My apologies if you’ve been waiting for Week 3. I’m past Week 4 now but my computer is still in…

The Leptin Reset: Week 2 Results, or Can a Broken Heart Make You Fat?
Picture to the left: Week 2 on the Leptin Reset (http://jackkruse.com/my-leptin-prescription/) and it’s failure, failure, failure. Nothing could lift this mood…except what started it.
