Cannot Control Your Appetite? Try to Eat Sign. More High Calcium Foods - The Reductions in Appetite, Insulin, GIP and Energy Intake Will Propel Your Fat Loss Efforts

Written by | published on

One serving of most commercial micellar casein products contains 400mg of highly bioavailable calcium.  As a SuppVersity reader you won't be surprised to hear that Gonzalez et al. found that the addition of calcium to a meal suppresses appetite and reduces the energy intake on a subsequent meal. The fact that the latest study from the Northumbria University still made the SuppVersity news is not the appetite reducing effect per se. The reason Gonzales et al.'s study made the cut is that it was the first study to assess the joint and individual effects of protein and calcium in a preload on subsequent compensation of energy intake while assessing both subjective and objective measures of appetite.

Prevalent Nutrient Deficiencies in the US: More Than 40% are Vitamin A, C, D & E, Calcium or Magnesium Deficient and >90% Don't Get Enough Choline, Fiber & Potassium

Choline, fiber, potassium, this meal has everything US citizens don't eat. The latest re-examination of data from the 2001-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) reveals: " A substantial proportion of the adult population (over 40%) had inadequate intakes of vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, calcium, and magnesium." (Agarwal. 2014) While many studies have examined the differences in micronutrient intakes in various population subgroups, very few studies have compared the micronutrient intake status of overweight and/or obese with that of normal weight adults. A highly relevant distinction as it turns out. Learn more about the health effects of food: Pasta "Al Dente" = Anti-Diabetic Vinegar & Gums for Weight Loss Teflon Pans Will Kill You!

Combination Therapy With Calcium and Vitamin D - A Way Lose Fat Cells Once and For All? HED of 10.000 IU Vitamin D3 + 200mg Calcium Increase Adipose Tissue Apoptosis

Written by | published on

Two reasons this may work for Batman, even if it does not work for you: (1) He's probably D-ficient, (2) Bats are closer related to rodents than men ;-) If someone speaks of "apoptosis" that's a funky way of telling you that the cell he is talking about has bitten the dust. If I am telling you that the HED, i.e. the human equivalent dosage of ~10.000 IU vitamin D3 (10x more than officially suggested) and a diet containing 120% of the rodent equivalent of the recommended 800-1,000mg of calcium per day led to an increase in adipocyte apoptosis, this is thus only a funky way to tell you that vitamin D and calcium in conjunction can do what diets usually don't to: They can kill , not just empty, fat cells. Usually, when you're losing weight, the fat cells shrink, but they remain in place. If adding some extra "D" and "Ca" on top of your energy reduced diet could make sure that the fat cells actually vanish, this would thus be extremely g...

Hair Mineral Analysis: Significant Correlations Between Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium & Sodium and Met. Syn., Insulin Resistance, Waist, BP etc. - Implications?

Written by | published on

Does her hair hold the secret to her fitness body? Actually that's unlikely, but it appears possible that a hair analysis could reveals what's keeping you back from a similarly amazing physique. Hair mineral analyses have been discredited by certain snake oil vendors who use them to sell their "oils" in form of an endless list of "essential" supplements you'd have to take if you don't want to end up as dead as the hair they used to produce the analysis. Still, they share one big strength with the more expensive RBC or other cell tests: They give you an idea of your actual calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium balance. Much in contrast to serum levels, by the way. If those are off, it's either due to an acute event (like diarrhea, for example ;-) or you have a real reason to be concerned. There is after all a really good reason these minerals are also called "electrolytes": They are heavily involved in the ion and thus charge-e...

There is More To Glucose Control Than Carbohydrates (4/?): Non-Carbohydrate Nutrients Blood for Glucose Management ➲ Calcium - Bone Builder + Fat Burner + Glucose Stabilizer?

Written by | published on

Healthy due to calcium? In the last three weeks we've already covered the effects of protein, fat and vitamin D in this series about the "non-carbohydrate" (micro-)nutrients which have an impact on your blood glucose levels ( browse the previous installments). With vitamin D as the topic of the last installment, it appears only logical to jump from vitamins to minerals and take a look at the "bone mineral" calcium, of which scientists have long believed that its management was the main, if not the only function of vitamin D. In view of the fact that the word "calcium" did not even appear in last week's installment about the "sunshine vitamin", it may appear questionable, whether it would even be worth taking a closer look at the soft gray alkaline earth metal. As a SuppVersity reader who has read my previous articles about calcium, you will yet be aware that this would be as inappropriate as the shortsighted idea that the only ...

High Protein Diets, Acid Load, Calcium Loss, Osteoporosis and a 50% Increase in Diabetes Risk - Is There a Link?

Written by | published on

Shouldn't it be obvious that the "happy medium" must be the solution, when high protein leads to brittle bones, and low protein to frail muscle? Sure! But where is this "happy medium"? Some of you may remember my recent Facebook post "High Protein Diet in the Firing Line. Rodent Study Says: Kidneys Are at Risk". It was based on a press release you could read on all the major science-news outlets on the Internet; a press release that will give the average reader the impression that the corresponding study by Aparicio et al. would "prove" that high protein diets will ruin your kidneys and eventually jeopardize your health ( read more ). Another paper (Cao. 2014), Jose Antonio, the CEO of the ISSN and the editor of the ISSN's journal posted on Facebook yesterday, didn't get as much media attention, though. No wonder, the message of this study is after all not in line with one of the fundamental arguments you will hear, whenever y...
