Protein-Sugar Interactions: Will a Coke/DietCoke Turn Your Lean Steak into a Cheeseburger - Metabolically Speaking?

Written by | published on
Image
Does a Coke (diet or regular) really ruin the metabolic benefits of high protein meals? Decrease fat oxidation? Increase fat storage? Boost your appetite? In her recently published blog about the study, Dr. Shanon Casperson writes acknowledges the "beneficial effects of protein-rich diets", its beneficial effect on satiety, its ability to decrease both prospective and real-world food intake, and its beneficial effects on human metabolism. With all the things we know about protein, it is yet quite interesting that we don't know "what happens when we drink a sugar-sweetened beverage with our steak dinner?" (see BMC blog ). The former is the research-question of a recently published study in the OpenAccess Journal  BMC Nutrition  that was conducted by - you guessed it - Casperson et al. (2017).

Phosphorus, the Magic Bullet For Fat Loss and Against the YoYo-Effect? P. Restores Thermogenesis, Enhances Satiety

Written by | published on

This is not the first study to suggest that as little as 12.5% of the suggested upper limit for phosphorus can make a big difference when it comes to weight loss and the ease of weight loss when you battle reduced diet-induced thermogenesis & increased appetite. I guess those of you who have been reading every SuppVersity  article will remember my January article "Phosphorus, an Anti-Obesity Agent? 3x375 mg With Each Meal Strip Almost 4 cm Off Obese Waists in Only 12 Weeks" ( re-read it ). You liked that one? Well, I guess you will also like the fact that the evidence that there's some use in phosphorus supplements is accumulating. Recently, scientists from the  Lebanese American University  in Beirut, Lebanon (Bassil. 2016), have observed that "P supplementation recovers the blunted diet-induced thermogenesis in overweight and obese subjects and enhances their postprandial satiety" (Bassil. 2016). Phosphates have also been touted as buffer for athl...

DIT: Four Fat-Burning Facts About the Effects of Calories, Macros + Meal Timing on the Thermogenic Effects of Foods

Written by | published on

A dream has come true: You can burn more calories by eating more... unfortunately, the so-called "diet-induced thermogenesis" does not fully compensate the increased energy intake - you cannot eat yourself slim as "unfair" as some people think this was. You all will have read that: eating a high protein meal first thing in the AM kickstarts your metabolic engine. But do you also know that this "kick" is worth - in terms of calories, for example? Do you know how the mix of carbohydrates, fats and proteins will affect your diet-induced thermogenesis? Can you tell if calories matter and whether the meal size and speed at which you consume a given meal will matter? Well, today's SuppVersity  article will not be able to answer all of these questions in a "once and for all" fashion, but being based on the latest systematic review by Quatela et al. (2016), it will still give you a good overview of the individual effects of differing energy int...

PUFA Increases Postprandial Thermogenesis in Healthy Premenopausal Women & Beyond - 14% Increase Over MUFA & SFA Sounds Huge, But Does it Matter?

Written by | published on
Image
Is there something to the good vs. bad fat shenanigan, after all? Only recently scientists from the Texas Tech University report that a PUFA-rich high-fat meal led to a greater diet-induced thermogenesis in normal-weight premenopausal women compared with SFA- or MUFA-rich high-fat meals. Reason enough to take a closer look at this and previous studies investigating the diet-induced thermogenic effects of PUFA-, MUFA- and SFA-rich meals and to conduct a reality check wrt to the question whether these differences actually matter - I mean, will you get and stay lean by upping your PUFA intake? Let's take a look! You can learn more about fat at the SuppVersity Are Men Fat- & Women Sugar-Cravers? Fat, not Fructose Cons.

Grazin' Study Shows: Increased Eating Frequency Bad For Obese and Lean Men. Reduced Diet-Induced Thermogenesis and Blunted Lipolysis Could Promote Future Weight Gain

Written by | published on

Grazing not allowed! Usually, I don't do this in the introduction of an article, but in this case, it fits so nicely that I just can't resist to prepend todays SuppVersity article with a citation from the conclusion of a recent paper in Pyschology and Behavior, a journal of which I believe that it covers the true reasons of the obesity pandemic... but I am digressing, here's your quote (Allroit. 2014): "Even if subjective and physiological data suggest a beneficial effect of frequent eating on appetite in obese men, no effect was demonstrated on energy intake. Moreover, the decrease in diet induced thermogenesis and lipolysis, reflected by NEFA profiles, could be deleterious on energy balance in the long run." What? Grazing ain't good for me? But my doctor (Oz?) said so! If you are still in the "I believe every word my doctor" says phase of your development as a free-thinking individual, it's probably a waste of time to read the rest...
