LEF magazine on weight loss

[way2skinny]

This month's Life Extension magazine has a feature article "The 7 Pillars of Weight Loss."

Couldn't find a web link for it. I think they post it later after selling as many magazines as possible.

In brief:
Eating less and exercise alone don't work. The "Seven Pillars" are:

Restore Insulin Sensitivity - chromium, magnesium, cocoa polyphenols, and fish oil. Optionally consider prescription metformin.
Restore Youthful Homone Balance - DHEA and testosterone for men. Cytomel for women.
Control Rate of Carbohydrate Absorption - 5 grams of fiber per meal, preferably oats and barley.
Increase Physical Activity - No recommendation, just do something that makes you move.
Restore Brain Serotonin - Tryptophan
Restore Resting Energy Expenditure Rate - fucoxanthin and pomegranate seed oil.
Eat to Live a Long and Healthy Life - Avoid food cooked at high temp.


Some of this is "well DUH" but the mainstream press is starting to get it.

I'd never heard of fucoxanthin - anyone try it?

Good points, they neglected to mention the need for Tren in Dieting.

fucoxanthin was just discussed here this week on the anabolic side, I think, but I had to google it.

My wife just picked some of the fucoxanthin stuff up. If it works for her, it should work for anyone.

What is it? Oh wait....brown seaweed......so how did it help your wife?

[BigJimCalhoun]

She just started taking it this week. It is still too early to tell.

I don't understand why people read those magazines. bodybuilders have known for decades what it takes to lose weight and how to go about doing it. You could probably read any discussion board and people would give better answers than the crap in most magazines.
