New Study: New weight loss aid?

On February 18th, it was reported that isoleucine, an amino acid, could have a lot to do with weight loss.

In our "Your Body May Not Let You Lose Weight" blog post, we listed four mechanisms by which an advanced protein peptide technology can help you eliminate unwanted fat from your body.

The very first mechanism is:
Protein synthesis - provides three branched amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) essential for your body to make protein

This study has EVERYTHING to do with isoleucine and fat metabolism. Scientists took mice and fed them a diet that consisted of 45% fat for six weeks. Mice were separated and placed into groups after the second week. One group was administered isoleucine in their drinking water while the other was administered a placebo in the water.

Results: reduced fat deposits and increased fat metabolism (among other results).

"Researchers suggest that isoleucine could effective in treating obesity."

CNN Mexico wouldn't let me Comment... I did a Blog Post

On February 11 of this year, CNN Mexico published an article about obesity in Mexico. It is an excellent article because it makes us reflect and take action against fat.

Cardiologist Jaime Burkle talked about obesity and how the consumption of lots of calories and a sedentary life leads to the accumulation of fat and finally to insulin resistance (diabetes type II).

"We now understand that diets high in calories and sedentary lifestyles overstimulate the production of insulin and at some point, the cells, saturated with sugar, begin to resist this hormone", he says.

The doctor makes a good point when talking about the production of insulin and a resistance to it. But more important than the quantity of calories, it has to do with the quantity of foods with a high glycemic index that are consumed. Because these are absorbed rapidly into the bloodstream, the body produces a lot of insulin so it can get into the cells and not remain in the blood.

A lot of insulin means excess of energy. Which is precisely why "ovens" are turned off and the body begins to store what it can as fat (in fatty tissues) and glycogen (primarily in liver and kidneys).

I would like to add the following to his recommendations:

1) Keep two rules in mind when reading food labels: 1.- Read the ingredients. If you cannot pronounce them, you shouldn't eat them (and it doesn't count if you're a biochemist). 2.- The least number of ingredients, the better.
- Example: When I happen to buy chips (very rare) I buy Fritos because the ingredients are salt, corn, oil.

2) Do everything possible so that raw fruits and vegetables are 70% of what you eat. See the new food pyramid that Harvard Medical School suggested. You will need supplements.

3) Aerobic exercise is very good and we should all walk AT LEAST the 3 or 4 days that Dr. Burkle suggests. But fat (our opponent) is consumed by muscles. It is important that you strengthen your muscles somehow. The best way is with weights, but you can start by doing push-ups, sit-ups, and squats as soon as you wake up (before ever leaving the room).

Presentation "Challenge against Fat" Was Highly Successful!

Last night the glycotrainer team held a virtual presentation in Spanish focused on fat loss.

Thanks to everyone who was able to make it last night to this virtual presentation about how fat is handled and eliminated in the body. It was such a success that we are thinking about hosting a follow up presentation (or series) about this topic and maybe go into more detail about other topics which were mentioned, like reducing certain sugars from your diet or the reduction and increase of certain fats (fatty acids), etc.

If you were unable to be with us, you'll have an opportunity to be part of the next one. Send a friend request through Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/glycotrainer) or become a fan of our fan page so you don't miss the invitation.

Interesting points from the presentation

Your Body May Not Let You Lose Weight

It's true! Your body is equipped with mechanisms that will allow it stay in an environment it thinks it needs to be in (homeostasis).

That is why it's no surprise that the scientific study discussed on You Can't Burn Just Fat reports that even when taking a supplement that promises to burn fat, your body will convert stored glucose into fat.

It is precisely this that separates our Whey Protein Blend from the rest. IT IS DIFFERENT from all other whey proteins on the market, and we have the double blind, placebo controlled clinical trials to prove it! Unlike whole whey protein products which are sold for building muscle mass, this exclusive peptide technology only has branches from whey protein (subsets) that have proven to accelerate the breakdown of fat (lipolysis) - the bulk of the whey was discarded. The mix was then enriched with calcium and magnesium (from plan sources, not salts, mined, or chemical).

This exclusive peptide technology has four very healthy mechanisms of action required for optimal fat loss:
  1. Protein synthesis - provides three branched amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) essential for your body to make protein
  2. Inhibition ACE - angiotensin-converting enzyme promotes storage/accumulation of fat. By inhibiting it, it loses it's ability to store fat, thereby preventing the formation of new fat cells.
  3. * Promostes production of CCK - cholecystokinin is secreted by gland after you have consumed some food (some fats or proteins) and send signal to the brain telling it that you are satisfied and to stop making you fell hungry
  4. Calcitrophic Hormone Regulation - regulates whether you will burn the fat or not.
* If taken 20 minutes before meals, as is recommended. Product can be taken at any time (before, during, after meals) twice a day. But you gain a mechanisms by taking it 20 minutes before a meal.

Studies
Two test groups told to log food intake to see actual caloric intake. Told to reduce by 500 calories. Told to do increase activity. Told to take product (or placebo) twice a day, 20 minutes before meals.

Both groups dropped almost the same amount of weight. But those who took peptide product lose almost twice as much fat per pound lost when compared to control group.

If you struggle with weight loss, even after dieting and doing exercise, you need this product. You will undoubtedly benefit from the four action mechanisms described above. Contact us now and receive a 6 month, full money back guarantee.
