So, I have almost no problem with losing weight; I love running and lifting weights, I can follow a strict diet plan, and stay motivated. However, I've lost 30 lbs multiple times in the past, and whenever I lose a certain percentage of body fat(~8%), my appetite increases exponentially.
That's why I've been trying to figure out for the last 2 years how our weight-regulation system works. The primary focus of my research has been understanding the role of insulin and leptin in our body and how to manipulate those. Honestly, I believe everyone can be as slim as they want if they had complete control over their appetite. You could probably even starve yourself to death if the hunger signals in your brain were absent.
So, I would like to ask the knowledgeable members of this community to give me some advice on how to manage appetite on the long-run more effectively. I don't care much for stimulants such as ECA, which loses its strength over time.

[Some specific questions that you could help answer]
- Is there a way to increase leptin receptor density in the brain?
- Are there supplements that aid in leptin passing the blood brain barrier?
- How do fitness experts combat the weight-loss induced slowdown of metabolism and increase in hunger over a long period of time? I.E., what is the longest you've seen someone hold sub 10% while maintaining muscle mass and how did they do it?
