Heavy fuel ping.
Or exercise. Mongolian herders eat obscene amounts of animal fat every day, but then they live in the cold and work a lot, so they usually stay pretty thin.
2 week quick start. Whole natural nuts (not salted, not roasted), meat, eggs and leafy green veggies/tomato and onion. Not much fun - but your body will not have enough available carbohydrate and your body will instead use fat for energy. After a few weeks, you can start eating stuff like berries and the occassional sweet potato. Couple that with some good exercise daily and you’ll be a lean mean Conservative machine!
sounds bloody miserable. If I couldn’t eat what I wanted I’d start smoking again.
Do they remember Fat Free Pringles, which should be on the shelf next to the adult diapers?
The Atkin’s diet and other low carb diets have long emphasized that once carbs are restricted, the body enters the ketosis, or fat burning stage. It sounds like these researchers might be searching for a drug to do the almost same thing, by inhibiting the SRC-2 they discuss, i.e., by inhibiting fat transportation and storage.
Wasn’t sure if anyone would notice that.

Yeah, the third paragraph made me think of the paleolithic diet and the rest of low-carb diets in general.

Could be but that's way above my bray grade. Going to ketosis involves a change in 'body chemistry' that the drug might not effect.
What we eat determines what kind of “burners” we are for energy. We are supposed to be fat burners. We can only be that if our diet consists of healthy fats, proteins, and produce. People who eat grains and sugars become sugar burners. They actually are begging for metabolic problems and cancer, not to mention obesity if they eat too much. Fat burners who avoid grains and starchy carbs will not get fat. The fat must be clean and healthy to avoid disease though. No transfats, and not too much vegetable oils, rancid fry oils, etc.
They're talking about some way to shut down fat storage. I'm almost certain that insulin, among other things, is considered to be the fat storage hormone. The article doesn't tell us much about just how this fat storage pathway they discuss works, or how it interacts with fat, carbohydrate and blood sugar metabolism.
I still bet they're looking for a drug to interrupt fat storage somehow.
If bile helps in the absorbtion of fat, is there a bile “binding” agent that would cause the bile to pass from the body?
is this why the HCG protocol is everywhere all of a sudden
There are a few diet pills on the market that claim to do that, or something similar. One side effect is globs of fat in your poo.
Thanks for the heads up. I’ve done a little research and came up with this web page http://www.headstartvitamins.com/fatzapper.html
Is this the kind of product you were talking about? Do you know of any others in the market so I can comparison shop?
I am currently at “equilibrium” with regards to my weight and need to go negative so I start to lose again. I have already taken off 20 lbs but took a break during the Xmass season. Due to my work environment, I really dont have time at the moment to add a whole lot of exercise to push that negative though I will be getting back to my swim routine which should help. So if these do help a little, they might be just enough to help me tip the scales in my favor again.
So all we need to do is become Mongolian herders and everything will be okay? With globalism, we are headed for worse which I guess is slim so it’s good! :)
