Lose 11% Body Fat in 8 Weeks W/Out Dieting Efforts!? The 'Egg-Approach' to Low CHO Dieting Quintuples Fat Loss

Written by | published on

There are 1bn ways to prepare your eggs and the Internet is a rich source of recipes. You will probably remember the SuppVersity news about the pro-anabolic effects of eggs - whole eggs - from the other day. Now, "gainz" are nice, but as a recent study from the  University of Alabama at Birmingham  indicates (Goss 2017), they are also a highly useful diet food. In their recent experimental trial, Amy Miskimon Goss and colleagues investigated the effects of whole eggs, being consumed as part of a low carb diet on the diet-induced changes in body composition, body fat distribution and selected health parameters in aging men and women. Whole eggs are also an excellent source of dietary protein Yolk: Triglyceride & LDL ↓, HDL ↑ Eggs Boost Vit Uptake 3-4-fold Egg-o-logy - All About Eggs Egg is Healthier Than Oatmeal Eggs Contain Preformed Vit D 3 eggs/d = Doping for 'ur Heart For their randomized clinical trial, Goss et al. recruited 26 m...

High Dose Caffeine Restores Insulin Sensitivity and Limits Total as Well as Visceral Fat Gain Due to High Sugar Diets

Written by | published on

Yes, the study at hand is on caffeine, but the results are relevant for coffee, too. A decade ago, the medical community though coffee would dehydrate you, would make you insulin resistant and would increase your risk of heart disease. Recent studies show that coffee does not negatively affect your hydration status (Killer. 2014), that higher coffee consumption is associated with reduced diabetes risk and increasing your coffee consumption can reduce your risk of T2DM (Akash. 2014) and that a "daily intake of ∼2 to 3 cups of coffee appears to be safe and is associated with neutral to beneficial effects" on coronary heart disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, and stroke (O'Keefe. 2013). Against that background it may not be as surprising as it would have been 10 years ago that Joana C. Coelho, et al. (2016) found caffeine to be able to restores insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance in high-sucrose diet rats. And yet, I personally believe that it is stil...

Interaction of Fat Cell Size, Protein Intake & Co. W/ Fat Gain + Insulin Res. in Overfed Men + Women in Metabolic Ward

Written by | published on

That's rather the low protein variety of overfeeding... but wait, was the high protein diet even "high" in protein? Well high enough to affect liver fat, for sure. You will probably remember José Antonio's high protein overfeeding study series ( learn more ) from the articles here and on the SuppVersity  Facebook page . The results were quite impressive, but the number of controlled covariates were small and the dietary control was limited to food logs. In a more recent study, George A. Bray and colleagues from the Pennington Biomedical Research Center of the Louisiana State University System , the  George Mason University , and the FL Hospital & Sanford-Burnham Prebys Discovery Research Institute  (Bray. 2016) determined the effect of overfeeding diets with 5%, 15% or 25% energy from protein on glycemia + body fat distribution in healthy men and women with add. covariates and  in a metabolic ward. Yes, the high protein intake clogged the liver during o...

Fat-Blocker Effect of Tea Catechins Confirmed (?) in Man - Sign. Abdominal Fat Loss (5-8%) in 12 Weeks W/Out Diet

Written by | published on

Tea catechins (which can also be found in black and jasmin tea | see Figure 3 ) can help you keep particularly unhealthy abdominal fat (Després. 2012) at bay. It is one thing to have in-vitro and rodent data that green tea can inhibit the digestion of dietary fat (reported previously in the SuppVersity Facebook News ); it is another thing, however, to have a human study like the one Makoto Kobayashi and colleagues are about to publish in the peer-reviewed scientific journal Food & Function  that shows that the "[i]ngestion of a green tea beverage enriched with catechins with a galloyl moiety (THEA-FLAN 90S) during a high-fat meal reduces body fat in moderately obese adults" (Kobayashi. 2015). Ok, the abdominal fat loss does not, as the previous quote from the conclusion appears to suggest, occur instantly right after you've consumed your first tea w/ a single meal. You can learn more about green tea at the SuppVersity GT Boosts Res- ting & Ex. Indu- ...

Weights or Cardio? What's the Best Visceral Fat Burner + How Often, Long and Intense Do You Have to Train

Written by | published on

You don't have to be super fat to have sign. amounts of inter-organ fat. Visceral or organ fat is the nasty stuff that's "proctecting" your organs from harm... well, as long as it the way you live (bad dietary habits + no exercise) don't increase its volume and weight to abnormal levels. On the outside, people with high amounts of visceral fat can look anything from significantly obese to normal-weight (particularly if they're wearing the right clothes); and yet, normal-weight obese (skinny fat) individuals, as scientists call these people, do still have a similarly increased risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and all the other nasty diseases you can develop when your visceral fat floods your body with pro-inflammatory cytokines. HIIT is an excellent way to shed both subcutaneous and visceral body fat! Never Train To Burn Calories! Tabata = 14.2kcal /min ≠ Fat Loss 30s Intervals + 2:1 Work/Rec.
