nice comment. here is one for the junk people to ponder. research at UT Southwestern into protein has found that it can eat FAT. An injection into mice caused them to lose weight. Aktins will be smiling from someplace. The beef guys will be selling more too.

One of the best things ive found to burn my fat is to climb a mountain, or even a hill...walk a few miles. Its good for the soul too.

My unscientific opinion is that if one drinks enough water, avoid gobs of pure animal fat, then is active doing something, anything to get the heart working..then one can eat just about whatever the like, just avoid tequila.

But im only 40 so the wisdom of my plan is dependant on my longevity. Now, if i could just stay off cigs..hehe

It looks like you're referring to leptin, which is something else entirely from the macronutrient protein, and doesn't work in humans the way it does in rats.

A good primer on leptin is:
