Re: Re: Lypase for fat burning

[Guest guest]

What a great answer! Thank you so much. I see much of what I do is correct but

my biggest sin is peanut butter so that is my major goal = cut it out!!!!!

Re: Lypase for fat burning

>

>Consuming lypase will not result in weight loss since it will likely not

survive it's trip through the stomach to end up in your blood stream. Plus fat

burning is a highly regulated process in the body and you can make all the

lypase you need to burn fat. Taking a supplement would at best, create imbalance

in this system. It most likely would just increase your digestion efficiency of

the fat you eat--which is already almost 100% normally.

>

>Fat burning is a very complex topic. Science does not provide a clear answer

either--despite what many lab-coated experts may say.

>

>Here is a brief summary of what we know:

>1. If your caloric intake is below your caloric need, your body will burn fat

and muscle to make up the difference.

>2. #1 is " starvation " as far as your body is concerned so it activates survival

genes, lowers your metabolism, including your body temperature.

>3. In numerous controlled studies, caloric deficit progresses in a predictable

fashion: 1)Participants become food obsessed and experience numerous cravings.

2) A large portion of study participants drop out because of the stress. 3)When

the studies end, participants will regain all the weight they lost, plus some

extra. The gained weight will be disproportionately fat. They end up at a higher

weight with a higher percent body fat.

>

>Does #3 sound familiar? It should, it's commonly referred to as " yo-yo

dieting " . Thus several cycles of " dieting " will leave you heavier than when you

started, with a higher % body fat than when you started.

>

>The most common advise for " burning fat " is to " eat less " and " do more " . The

problem with this advice is that no one can do it since it's only effective when

you put the body in a state it perceives as starvation. Few people posses the

" discipline " required to live like this long term. Why do you think " discipline "

is such a commonly discussed topic in this regard?

>

>Taking drugs/supplements that " raise metabolism " are really just exercise in a

pill. Exercise is cheaper and has fewer side effects. Either exercise or pills

simply increase the caloric requirement side of the equation.

>

>Another type of study which helps give us an important clue is the over feeding

study. In these studies people are forced to eat high calorie diets (10,000

kcal/day) for months at a time. What's interesting about these studies is that

people don't become obese. They do gain weight, but some people only gain

5-10lbs after months of over eating. And just like the starvation studies above,

when the study ends, the participants all return to their starting weights, OR

LOWER!

>

>So under eatings leads to rebound weight gain and over eating leads to rebound

weight loss. What appears to be happening is that the body has a weight set

point that it vigorously defends. This is why there are " no gainers " that can

eat all they want and not gain weight and why there are obese people that eat

very little, yet remain obese.

>

>How is all this possible you may ask?

>

>More recent research is pointing at some interesting concepts. People appear to

have an " adipostat " or fat regulating feedback mechanism. The hormone leptin

appears to be a critical part of the adipostat. Leptin is produced by fat cells.

The more fat you have the more leptin you should have normally. Leptin decreases

appetite and increases metabolism. Leptin is " sensed " by the hypothalamus gland.

One possible mechanism for the cause of obesity appears to be " leptin

resistance " . Obese people normally have high leptin levels because they have

lots of fat. Yet their hypothalmus appears to not recognize the leptin. This

topic is currently being studied and we will know a lot more in the next 10

years.

>

>So there appears to be two basic ways to " burn fat " . The first is " eat less, do

more " which is trying to force your weight below it's set point. The second is

" eat more, do less " which is trying to force your weight above your set point.

Once your weight is above your set point, the body will lower the set point by

raising metabolism and body temperature which burns fat.

>

>Body temperature is the best way to tell where you are at. If your 1-2 deg.

below 98.6 you will have a very difficult time losing weight. It's also possible

your body temp is low because of other causes, like hypothyroid.

>

>Although I'm convinced that many people diagnosed with hypothyroid have

perfectly healthy thyroids that are functioning as they should. That is, they

are lowering body temperature in response to under eating or over exercising.

When these people are treated for hypothyroid, they are actually forcing their

thyroid function up when the body wants it down. This cannot be good.

>

>The best way to tell why your body temp is low is to try overfeeding for up to

6 mo. If your body temp doesn't go up (it usually does), then you likely have

some underlying condition like hypothyroid. After all I've read, I would never

start treating hypothyroid with hormones, until I tried over feeding for 6 mo.

to see if that corrects the problem.

>

>What you eat also appears to have a huge impact on your metabolism and thus

body temp. Fructose and omega-6 appear to be the two worst things for your

metabolism. Omega-6 is well recognized in the animal feeding world as a retarder

of metabolism. Gluten intolerance may also damage the thyroid and lead to

hypothyroid. So you want to avoid gluten or at least make sure you are eating

properly soured recipes containing gluten.

>

>If you want to try over feeding I would suggest eating only real food. No sugar

(fructose) and avoid omega-6 as much as is practical. I wouldn't worry about

high/low carb/fat, just make sure you are getting enough fat for your fat

soluble vitamins (A/D/K). Good carb sources are brown rice, white potatoes and

sweet potatoes. Be sure to eat fat, protein and carbs at every meal. Eat as much

as you need to feel full, but not sick about it. If you need snacks or more than

3 meals per day, you're not eating enough during meals-try eating more.

Eventually your weight should get above your set point and your body will

respond by raising your metabolism and body temp and you should start to loose

weight.

>

>If your body temp is already normal and you want to lose weight, I would try

adding a small amount of exercise (20min, 3x/wk) and eating slightly less carbs,

but don't try a low carb diet or over exercising.

>Watch your body temp like a hawk, if it starts to go down, try eating more

food. Anything that makes your body temp go down is dangerous and should be

avoided--your body is trying to tell you something when it lowers the temp.

Because it's an Omega 6 that we get too much of already. Also it needs to be

Valencia peanuts grown in New Mexico so it will be too cold to get the fungus

that all the other peanut butter has and also because, like all seeds and nuts,

it should be soaked 24 hours in salty water to get rid of the Phytic Acid and

then rinsed and dried at a low temp (dehydrator) to make " crispy " nuts as

written about in Sally Fallon's " Nourishing Traditions " cookbook. Plus it's very

fattening.

Thanks, think I will get some Milk Thistle.

of lipase in them. The dr refused and told me that a low fat diet especially low

in sat. fat was the answer to my problem. A stool sample was sent off to

determine fat digestion - the lab report came back & they hadn't even tested for

fat so that was a waste of time.

my liver function could be better (food intolerances) so I continue with the

milk thistle.
