Q: Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, which is primarily dissolved CO2. Dissolved CO2 satisfies the equilibrium equation CO2(g) CO2(aq) K=0.032 The acid dissociation constants listed in most standard reference texts for carbonic acid actually apply to dissolved CO2.
1 Fiber is also great for leptin levels, mainly because it keeps you feeling full -- and generally fiber-rich foods are natural and good for you in other ways, too. 2  Peas, beans, lentils, almonds, raspberries, broccoli, and oats are all great sources.
Leptin resistance is similar to insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes, in which the pancreas produces large amounts of insulin, but the body doesn't respond to it properly. Leptin levels can keep going higher as people get fatter. We all have a leptin floor; the problem is, we don't have a leptin ceiling, Lustig says. In leptin resistance, your leptin is high, which means you're fat, but your brain can't see it. In other words, your brain is starved, while your body is obese.
