Fat Substitute Olestra Promotes Weight Gain

Wednesday, June 22, 2011  -  Byron J Richards, CCN

Researchers at Purdue University prove that trying to cut back on fat calories with fake fat doesn’t work. That is because your brain is actually gauging fat intake and responding accordingly. When you fake out your brain you fake out your metabolism and end up gaining weight.

Forget About Liposuction for Weight Loss

Sunday, June 05, 2011  -  Byron J Richards, CCN

Researchers at the University of Colorado School of Medicine have determined that the fat weight lost from liposuction is back in 1 year’s time – distributed in other areas of the body.  I am a big believer in restoring the fitness of your fat so that your fat, as a metabolic organ, is healthier. About 450,000 people per year think that removing part of their fat organ is going to be a short cut. You’ll have to have abetter strategy than that to fool leptin.

High Protein Breakfast Dampens Hunger Drive Later in the Day

Saturday, June 04, 2011  -  Byron J Richards, CCN

Those of you familiar with the Five Rules of the Leptin Diet, know that Rule #4 is; Eat a Breakfast Containing Protein.  I have long explained that a high protein breakfast can boost the metabolic rate up to 30% for as long as 12 hours and provide lower insulin release, while assisting with food cravings. New research at the University of Missouri agrees with my preference for the high protein breakfast.

Get Rid of Your Cravings to Help Make Healthier Fat

Wednesday, May 25, 2011  -  Byron J Richards, CCN

One of my key themes for improving your metabolism is improving the fitness of your fat. This means making healthier white adipose tissue cells and reducing the inflammation coming from white adipose tissue. It also means restoring the proper balance of brown fat cells which are very handy for disposing of calories as heat. A new animal study demonstrates that when the primary food craving signal in your brain, NPY, is blunted then you start making more brown adipose tissue cells – a rather novel discovery.

Cissus Quadrangularis: A Unique Bone-Building, Weight-Management Nutrient

Tuesday, May 17, 2011  -  Byron J Richards, CCN

The scientific evidence supporting the use of Cissus Quadrangularis (CQ) for bone and metabolic health continues to shine. CQ is a traditional Ayurvedic herb in use for over a thousand years. Its nickname is “bone setter.”  I have explained how CQ helps bones in two previous articles, Cissus Quadrangularis – A Potent Bone Builder and Cissus Quadrangularis: Linking Bones & Metabolic Health. The newest study on CQ and bones shows that CQ works at the level of gene transcription to turn on osteoblasts and to specifically boost their production of osteocalcin. This is a powerful finding as it means that the nutrient is a bone-building gene regulator – elevating it to a new status of usefulness. Additionally, osteocalcin acts as a hormone elsewhere in your body by boosting adiponectin production in your white adipose tissue, in turn helping to protect against insulin resistance and inflammation in your cardiovascular system.

A Flat Stomach is Best for Your Heart and Brain

Tuesday, May 10, 2011  -  Byron J Richards, CCN

Two new studies confirm that the 50% of Americans who are overweight in midlife need to get serious about solving their metabolic problems. One study links the extra weight to an increased risk for dementia and Alzheimer’s. The other study links a fat stomach to double the risk of death from coronary artery disease. Neither study is good news for an American public with rapidly expanding waistlines.

Nobiletin and Tangeretin Prevent Insulin Resistance by Improving Fat Fitness

Sunday, May 08, 2011  -  Byron J Richards, CCN

Nobiletin and Tangeretin are citrus-derived polymethoxyflavonoids, uniquely structured flavonoids that are now shown to directly interact with white adipose tissue in a way that makes your stored fat much healthier, including the prevention of insulin resistance.
