Written by | published on

ADF vs. continuous dieting in overweight/obese women: ADF marginally faster, about identically satiatin' but not per se 'superior' "When Weight Loss is Standardized (to 5%), Overweight / Obese Women are Neither Hungrier Nor More Satiated When Eatin' in an Alternate Day vs. Chronic Energy Deficit. Implications?" ⬅ that's the title of a #SuppVersity Facebook and Instagram post I was just about to publish yesterday to then decide: 'Hey, you've spent a lot of time to summarize the results of this study. Spend another 10 min (which became 1h) and you've got a short news item and hence a new article many of you may be (rightly) waiting for...'

Cathine (Alvalin®) a Legitimate 'New Ephedra'? 9.1kg vs. 2.4 kg Weight Lost, 165% Greater Waist Reduction in Humans

Written by | published on

You don't have to switch to eating pills, only. Don't worry. What you will still have to do, though, is to (a) clean up your diet, (b) stop eating everything in sight, and (c) achieve a caloric deficit. With its ability to reduce hunger and appetite, cathine may yet help you make that happen.  Let's be honest: ever since the classic ECA stacks have been banned from the market, there are neither over-the-counter, nor prescription weight loss supplements/drugs that work. Scientists from the Technical University of Munich (Germany | Hauner 2017) believe they can change that. Not by inventing a revolutionary new compound, but  by digging out a cousin of ... you guessed it: the good old ephedrine. Cathine is the name of the agent that was originally launched in the 1970s for the short-term treatment of diet-related obesity. Cathine is an alkaloid originally isolated from khat leaves grown in East Africa and the Arab peninsula and is a stable metabolite of cathinone, which ...

7-Day Protein-Modified Fast - All the Benefits of Fasting W/Out the Risk of Muscle Loss? Human Study Says...

Lean wild salmon would be a good protein source for a PSMF regimen. If you are not familiar with the idea of a "protein modified fast" here's what it's all about: in order to minimize the use of lean tissue as a source of energy, a protein-sparing modified fast (PSMF) will combine very low calorie diet with some (often high amounts of) protein, fluids, and vitamin and mineral supplementation. Matthew Furber and his colleagues from the GSK Human Performance Lab and the University of Hertfordshire  and the Anglia Ruskin University  were recently able to proof that this special variety of fasting will not only help you shed body fat at a low risk of significant lean mass declines, it will also have profound health benefits. High-protein diets are much safer than some 'experts' say, but there are things to consider... Practical Protein Oxidation 101 5x More Than the FDA Allows!

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

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...

True or False: A High Protein Intake Nullifies the Benefits of Diet-Induced Weight Loss (10%) on Glucose Metabolism

Written by | published on

With high protein diets often being falsely equated with misguided varieties of keto diets where you eat nothing but sausages and bacon, the public jumps at 'news' like "A new study suggests there's a downside to all that protein" ( time.com ) and ignores that high protein dieters like you and me limit the amounts of these foods and eat way more veggies and fruits than Mr. Average is often forgotten in the debate. You will probably remember the headlines: "It’s Time to Rethink High-Protein Diets for Weight Loss" ( time.com ). Now, that the notion that an increased protein intake can help you shed body fat by increasing your satiety, reducing your cravings and improving the ratio of lean-to-fat-mass you will lose while dieting is finally becoming common knowledge (Leidy. 2007; Mettler, 2010), the impact of biased reporting on studies such as Smith, et al. (2016) could become a public health problem of its own. That's a daring hypothesis, I know,...
