yo-yo dieting leads to weight gain, in part, due to increase food intake in between the calorie restriction phases. The calorie restriction suppresses metabolic rate and results in muscle loss; both of which contribute to the rebound weight gain seen by so many.
T3 shown increase weight loss, lower LDL, decrease apolipoprotein B, decrease T cholesterol versus T4. This flies in the face of conventional medical dogma, that T 4 (synthroid, levothyroxine) is the only route of thyroid replacement. In fact, this suppports the use of armour thyroid, a T4/T3 combination.
low-glycemic index diet aids in mobilization of adipose tissue in exercise. In this study, exercise after a low-glycemic meal resulted in a greater mobilization of adipose tissue for energy production than a high glycemic meal. This will help in weight loss
sulphoraphane shown to arrest fat cell growth. Sulphoraphane decreased PPAR-gamma and C/EBP-alpha expression as well as suppressing the cell growth cycle. Obvious implications in weight loss
DHEA's effect on adipose tissue is through increased adiponectin and increased insulin sensitivity. This is the mechanism through which DHEA is propose to aid in weight loss.
oolong jade tea and other tea polyphenols shown to increase energy expenditure and provide aid in weight loss. Also, has been shown to reduce cholesterol and inhibit breast cancer cell growth.
the mechanism by which PTP1B regulates adiposity and leptin sensitivity likely involves the coordinated regulation of AMPK in hypothalamus and peripheral tissues.
