I am working on a post that will be up soon with more on adiponectin; its levels appear to more than double when BMI goes from 26 to 20 due to fat loss.<br /><br />I don’t believe in taking pills to lose weight. They may work in the short term, as almost everything else, but usually have serious side effects (e.g., rimonabant, also used to increase HDL), and the weight (mostly in the form of fat) comes back later with a vengeance.<br /><br />I believe in slow body fat loss (1 lb per week) via removal of refined carbohydrates and sugars from the diet (breads, sweets), and their replacement with veggies, animal protein and fat, and dietary cholesterol (green salads, meats, fish, eggs).<br /><br />Most people who lose weight fast gain weight back later even faster. After they gain it back, they have a higher body fat percentage than they started. In other words, they would have been healthier (relatively speaking) if they never dieted in the first place. Having said that, a low body fat percentage, if maintained, seems to be one of the most effective known health promoters.Ned Kockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755560885749335053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-84946427262992156112010-03-21T18:06:24.635-07:002010-03-21T18:06:24.635-07:00I didn't realize that there were effective app...I didn't realize that there were effective appetite suppressants being prescribed. My other half asked his doctor for diet pills recently (not knowing that doctors stopped prescribing these many years ago). The horrified response: "NO PILLS -- Eat less."<br /><br />Judging from your header, you know a whole lot more about correlations/causes/effects and their analysis than I do.<br /><br />I think we already knew that losing weight could improve health markers. Did the study give hints as to where/how/why adiponectin is produced in the body? Do higher levels mean higher production, or reduced disposal?<br /><br />I'm afraid that deep inside I'm still looking for that "magic fix" for metabolic syndrome, so I'm always wondering what matters and what doesn't in diet, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
