Saw a fascinating article about studies done on folks that have lost significant amounts of weight, i.e. Biggest Loser contestants.

They mention a loss of leptin in the body as someone loses an extreme amount of weight. How can this be counteracted?
Also - can hormonal restoration ala TRT help with the severe decline in BMR in these folks?
Is there any way to raise a BMR in ones body? Im noticing that I personally require a fairly drastic caloric restriction to get the scale to move - currently 240 lbs and eating 1900kcal and weight staying steady on the sale.
