Fat cells could regulate a hormone called Lepton that sends signals to the hypothalamus to preserve more 'energy reserve' under our body. This could make a person's appetite become larger than others. Viewing from evolutionary psychologists perspective, this could help people survive in times when resources are scarce (such as winter)
