Resistant Starch (RS4) Reduces Waist Circumference, Body Fat % & Cholesterol Levels in Lean and Obese Individuals in Randomized, Double-Blind Cross-Over Human Study

Written by | published on

Effortlessly lean with RS4? Probably not, but if you're into flour-based products it may be for you. Some things are resistant to being forgotten. D-aspartic acid, for example, is useless and still around. RS-4, on the other hand, has more or less disappeared from the market, when Scott Connely's and Vince Andrich's last project Myotropics shut its doors. What? Oh, you don't even know what I am talking about? Well, RS-4 stands for "resistant starch", type 4. It's usually made from waxy maize starch, but will - due to its unique structure pass through the gut, more or less undigested ( learn more ). RS-4 will thus end up in the long intestine, where it is eaten up and being fermented by your bacterial subtenants to eventually be absorbed by your gut in the form of short-chain fatty acids - readily available energy with a metabolic twist - a twist due to which they will also function as signalling molecules in the complex concert that is your metabol...

Fast Absorbed High Molecular Weight Resistant Starches Make a Comeback in Diabetic Formula: Are RS-4 (WM-HDP) Based Products An Ideal Meal Replacement for Diabetics?

Written by | published on

Pick your metaphor: Clutching to a straw, or hobbling around on a crutch If type II diabetics were into quasi tube-feeding (=living of meal replacements) or adhering to any diet of some sort, the study Cruz Erika Garcia-Rodriguez and colleagues have recently published in the European Journal of Nutrition could actually be help us solve the to diabesity problem. For me it is  however more of a good reason to take another look at what became of RS-4 (resistant start type 4 = synthetic resistant starches made from waxy maize or tapioca; learn more ). I mean, do we have good reason to mourn, now that Myotropics ThermiCarb(TM) is gone and no legitimate and reasonably prized follow-up product is available? The stuff still works, but does it also help? Aside from the fact that I personally consider the idea to feed diabetics liquid foods ludicrous and counter-productive (you do not heal a cripple if you hand him a crouch), the latest results Garcia-Rodriguez et al. present in ...

Adelfo Cerame - Road to Wheelchair Championships: Four Tips to Survive the Post-Contest / Post-Dieting Jojo-Effect

Written by | published on

Image 1: Would have been a disgrace to compromise this physique! With me being pretty busy, I was actually about as curious as to how Adelfo got along the past couple of days, as you probably are. While we did discuss his training regimen in quite some detail, there was hardly enough time to discuss future dietary changes and - although I could obviously pretend otherwise - Adelfo does not even really need my advice, since he knows very well what is best for him! So, I guess, I won't keep you on tenderhooks any longer and have him tell you how he evaded the post-contest jojo and kept his wickedly... ah, pardon, "disgustingly" ripped self amidst truckloads of gyros pita sandwiches, falafel, baba ganoush and baklava! Surviving “post-contest”/ “post-dieting” destruction! Last week I gave you a sneak peek on my training regimen for the next 2 weeks and promised you the low-down on its nutritional complement for today... well, and as you all should know by now, I ...

Waxy Maize Reloaded: Hydroxypropyl-Distarch Phosphate (HdP) from Waxy Maize Starch Could Help You Burn Fat While Replenishing Your Glycogen Stores

Written by | published on

Image 1: By adding some hydroxypropyl-distarch phosphate from waxy maize starch to your pancakes you can turn it into a fat burning superfood... well, sort of ;-) Sometimes I miss studies, sometimes I file them in my candidates folder and forget about them, but most often I simply discard them. The latter also happened to a study on the effects of hydroxypropyl-distarch phosphate from waxy maize starch that was published in the British Journal of Nutrition (actually one of my favorites) in February of 2011 ( Shimotoyodome. 2011 ). Due to the unjustified hype that has surrounded its introduction to the supplement market the word(s) "waxy maize starch" had become a red rag to me and the main finding of the study, i.e. the observation of a "lower postprandial glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide response" only seemed to confirm my conviction that waxy maize is yet another industry scam. Waxy maize a natural cheaper Vitargo ? I don't think so! A few...
