Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / October 2008I can't remember the name of a weight-loss suppelment.
A few weeks ago I heard on the radio about a supplement which helped weight loss and kept it off even after the diet ended. However I did not note down the name of the supplement. Anyone guess the name of what I'm speaking about? From the tip of my memory I'm guessing it sounded like some kind of amino acid. Thanks to anyone who can help me. Bye. >A few weeks ago I heard on the radio about a supplement which helped >weight loss and kept it off even after the diet ended. However I did >not note down the name of the supplement. Anyone guess the name of >what I'm speaking about? If we told you, would you go check carefully the medical literature to see what data is behind such a claim? I mean, you don't really believe that, do you? At least without some pretty convincing evidence? bob >From the tip of my memory I'm guessing it >sounded like some kind of amino acid. >Thanks to anyone who can help me.

Which unlike American radio is not that commercialised.

To my knowledge, no such (safe) substance is known. And if there were something, it would have to be interfering with normal metabolism, and thus has the risk of being toxic. I would want good evidence that any such agent is both safe and effective. Assuming it is legit at all, it is possible that there is some preliminary report of something, perhaps tested in worms, which showed some interesting results. It is easy to build a news story on such a finding. It is another to develop a good product. Be cautious! bob > On Sun, 21 Sep 2008 03:02:11 -0700 (PDT), Sal_55 > [quoted text clipped - 41 lines] > > - Show quoted text - if I find the name of the substance I will write it here. > > On Sun, 21 Sep 2008 03:02:11 -0700 (PDT), Sal_55 > [quoted text clipped - 45 lines] > > - Show quoted text - Well, I've searched some science sites for any new supplments for losing weight and can't find any. I heard this on the news about 2-3 months ago on the BBC (our equivalent of your NPR). Anyone have any luck keep me informed.

Anyone guess the name of > what I'm speaking about? From the tip of my memory I'm guessing it > sounded like some kind of amino acid. There are several animo acids that help while dieting. Phenyalinine is the most commonl discussed but certainly not the only one. It does not work after quitting, nor would an other amino acid. But supplements that continue to work after you've stopped dieting? Simple cause and effect says if you go back to eating the way you ate when you weighed X pounds, you will soon return to X pounds. The name of the supplement that helps after quitting is cauliflower. Not what you wanted to read but there is it anyways. > A few weeks ago I heard on the radio about a supplement which helped > weight loss and kept it off even after the diet ended.

There's some data to suggest that conjugated linoleic acid aids weight loss... it also depends upon the type of conjugation. It's a polyunsaturated fatty acid found in milk from grazing cattle, not as high in feedlot raised cattle.

If this indeed is the name of the supplement, can I get it in pill form? if not,what supplements can it be found in? Thanks David. >> There's some data to suggest that conjugated linoleic acid aids weight >> loss... it also depends upon the type of conjugation. [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >I get it in pill form? if not,what supplements can it be found in? >Thanks David. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is in beef. I have seen paprs from the beef idnustry promoting it. Last i checkedm, the story seemed weak. ButI may not be up to date. Try PubMed and see what is most receent, and met us know what you find. bob > >> There's some data to suggest that conjugated linoleic acid aids weight > >> loss... it also depends upon the type of conjugation.

You can search this story in Google or any science website. Thanks for your help. Bye. >I think maybe I've found the name of the supplement, it's Oleic acid, >as in the acid found in Olive oil.

I wonder... could you be referring to the finding that palmitoleic acid may serve as a hormone. This is new, and was a big news story recently. Work is only with mice, so far. Google on palmitoleate (or palmitoleic acid). bob >>I think maybe I've found the name of the supplement, it's Oleic acid, >>as in the acid found in Olive oil. In rats it suppresses appetite.

FWIW, I find that if I take a daily fish oil capsule or two, it reduces my appetite for rich foods. Whether this is some deep instinctive thing where a generalized craving for fats is the manifestation of a physiological need for essential fatty acids such as are found in fish oils, or just a personal psychological quirk, I can't say. I'm taking the fish oil because it's good for the lipid profile, and this is a desirable side effect from my point of view.

I also take omega 3 for my depression,but it has had quite little effect on that front,even after taking it for a long time. > On Wed, 8 Oct 2008 12:10:52 -0700 (PDT), zaman.2...@googlemail.com > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > bob Could be thisa molecule, but after reading the science article on this molcule,the onlypart that seemed to be missing fro what I remember of the story I heard on the radio during the sumer was that the molecule aided reduced body weight even after STOPPING taking the molecule. This aspect seems to be missing in the story I read in the science journal about palmitoleic acid. Thanks again. |
