Contrave Diet Pills

The Contrave diet pills will apparently be the next toxic and dangerous weight loss medication to be adopted by the bozos at the FDA. Their panel of expert scientists voted 13-7 for approval and 11-8 (with one abstention) that additional studies be performed on potential heart risks. This is an all too familiar story that will lead to death and damage by yet one more unnecessary drug. Here is what you should know before considering it for your own use. [Read more…]

Myth Of Meal Frequency For Fat Loss

by Dr. Dennis Clark Leave a Comment

Higher meal frequency is supposed to drive fat loss. This is a myth. Assumptions and logic that underlie this strategy are oversimplified and incorrect. Unfortunately, the advice to eat more often has become dogma. Here is the truth that you should know about it.

The first article below is near and dear to my heart because it cites actual scientific research and provides the original articles. I just love that! The second article is pretty much on target, except that I am critical of the high-protein approach that the author advocates. That is a topic for another day.

Logic Does Not Apply Part 1: Meal Frequency

The number of meals per day didn’t even affect what type of weight the participants lost—all of them lost the same amount of weight and the same amount of fat regardless of meal frequency. They tested about everything you can imagine in …

Physiology of Meal Frequency

Spacing meals appropriately has important consequences for how much and when your body secretes the key hormones for balanced metabolism. These hormones are insulin, leptin, and growth hormone. Eating frequent meals undermines the benefits of these hormones. The net result is fat gain and poor health.

For good meal frequency,

FDA Weight Loss Hypocrisy

That is nothing compared with the target of the FDA, which is the entire 55 billion dollar per year industry for weight loss products and services.
