Thanks for that article Zeus. I don't have time to read it, but i just skimmed through it and saw that the author recommends eating 130% of your AMR (I'm assuming its AMR, since BMR is useless in active individuals).

-Your assumption is correct.

Correct me if i'm wrong, i'm no expert in leptin by far, but to raise leptin levels you essentially need to over-eat. You need to saturate your muscle/liver glycogen and then let the extra cals to spill over to the adipocytes to raise leptin. So in essence i should just stick to the 24 hour re-feed, but stuff my face as much as possible? Because i would probably need somewhere around 500g of carbs and 300g of protein to "over-feed" myself and attempt to raise leptin levels, thats a lot of food (for me atleast).
Thanks for the advice.

-Yes, you do need to over-feed hence a 'carb-load' (which, raises leptin very nicely). As for stuffing your face- I don't see why you shouldn't. When I have my 24 hour carb load... I stuff my face. The only 'catch' is that you have to keep fat intake low. Which means- no pizza, donuts, etc. ...however, I think you could get away with SOME fat during the carb-load... just don't go over-board. The reason being is that fat does not do anything special to leptin (like raising it) therefore over consumption of it will just be harmful (in terms of 'spill-over').
