It would appear that weight loss is to do with a hormone called leptin, as opposed to fewer calories, fats, carbs or willpower and how in which it is functional in the body. Increasing leptin levels ensures your appetite decreases.
Leptin enables you to naturally lose weight naturally. It reduces appetite and energizes the metabolism. You are meant to be able to lose weight easily and effectively, never regaining any weight.

Omega 3 and fish is also highly recommended on this diet.
