‘There’s no way that patients are going to be able to afford that.’ Why aren’t new drugs that can help you lose weight more widely used? – Morningstar

Jaimy Lee

A decades-old law is keeping older adults in the U.S. from trying new weight-management therapies like Wegovy -- and drug companies are paying millions of dollars to try to get it changed.

A pair of new drugs offer something many Americans desperately want: a way to lose weight.

In clinical trials, Novo Nordisk's Wegovy helped adults lose about 15% of their body weight. The drug, which received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last year, had such a successful launch that it's now in short supply. Eli Lilly's (LLY) tirzepatide, meanwhile, is still in clinical trials, but data from a Phase 3 trial showed that people taking the drug lost up to 22% of their body weight.

For the roughly 42% of Americans who are obese, these results are nothing short of a miracle.

Wall Street is thrilled, predicting a global market for the drugs as big as $54 billion by 2030. And physicians feel they finally have a new treatment option for their patients. "I was prescribing Wegovy almost as fast as I could," said Elizabeth Fryoux, a physician who practices obesity medicine at the University of Mississippi Medical Center.

And there is more research coming: Lilly and Novo are also running studies to figure out if the same drugs can reduce the risk of death or improve outcomes for conditions like high blood pressure and stroke that often go hand in hand with obesity.

But there are roadblocks to getting these therapies to patients who need them. Late last year, Wegovy ran into supply issues brought on by a combination of high demand and production issues involving the syringes used in the pens that inject the medication. The issues are expected to resolve sometime beforethe end of the year. The stigma surrounding obesity, meanwhile, may be discouraging insurers and policymakers from covering these drugs.

The drugs developed by Novo and Lilly to treat obesity have both been approved, in different formulations, to treat Type 2 diabetes. Those therapies -- Novo's Ozempic and Lilly's Mounjaro, which got FDA approval in May -- are covered by Medicare, the federal health-insurance program for older adults and people with disabilities. Medicare doesn't cover Wegovy or other FDA-approved weight-management therapies, including Vivus' Qsymia.

"If we have a drug that is Wegovy that is for weight loss, and it's not covered, but we have a drug that is Ozempic, and it's for diabetes, the exact same drug is covered," said Holly Lofton, a physician who works in obesity medicine at NYU Langone Health in New York City. "There's not a drug issue. There's a 'we don't want to treat this patient' issue. That comes from stigma or discrimination or lack of knowledge about obesity as a condition."

A decades-old law prohibits Medicare from covering prescription drugs to treat weight gain or weight loss. That means the roughly 49 million people in the U.S. who get their prescription drug coverage from Medicare would have to spend more than $1,300 a month for a Wegovy prescription, putting access far out of reach for many. Even for people with private health insurance, these drugs may not be covered. Less than 10% of people have commercial health insurance that covers weight-management therapies like Wegovy.

But an aggressive lobbying push in Washington and quiet support in different parts of the Biden administration indicate that the longstanding rule is being reconsidered. The House Appropriations Committee in June described Medicare coverage for obesity drugs as a "matter of health equity." The Office of Personnel Management, the federal government's human resources department, this year reiterated that obesity drugs can't be excluded from insurance plans for federal workers. "The bottom line is that we follow the science and, in this instance, the science is telling us that we should recommend uptake of anti-obesity drugs more strongly than we did previously," an OPM spokesperson told MarketWatch.

This line of thinking suggests that "additional federal coverage may not be far behind," said UBS analyst Colin Bristow.

Ted Kyle runs ConscienHealth, an obesity advocacy organization. "That momentum comes from people having a better understanding of what we're dealing with," he said. "Ten years ago, policymakers would come out and say, 'Fat people need to eat less and move more.'"

A vanity drug or an outdated policy?

Until recently, the medical community often blamed obesity on a lack of willpower or a mismatch between calories consumed and calories burned. The American Medical Association now considers obesity a disease, and doctors describe patients as having overweight or obesity, not as being overweight and obese, and refer to weight management, not weight loss.

But that shift in thinking is still relatively new -- the American Board of Obesity Medicine, which certifies physicians who work in this field, was set up in 2011 -- and challenges remain. A story published last spring in The New York Times reported that a health insurer had declined to cover Wegovy for a patient on the grounds that it's a "vanity drug."

"That feels so stigmatizing," said Diana Thiara, medical director of the University of California San Francisco's weight management program.

The Medicare ban on covering weight-loss drugs, which was part of the implementation of the Medicare Part D program in 2003, likely results from that same stigma. It also followed the fenfluramine phentermine ("fen-phen") crisis of the late 1990s, in which the stimulants fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine, prescribed for short-term use for weight loss, were pulled from the market when it was discovered they could cause heart-valve damage that in some cases resulted in death.

The newest class of weight-management drugs -- as well as therapies like Qsymia and Currax Pharmaceuticals' Contrave, which were approved about a decade ago -- are not stimulants. Wegovy, which is the first new weight-management drug to have been approved since 2014, is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist, while tirzepatide is a GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 receptor agonist. When paired with physical activity and calorie reduction, they help slow digestion and increase the release of insulin so that patients end up feeling full faster and for longer.

"These actually are now very physiologic," Lofton said. "Most of them [are] hormones that we're giving people to adjust their gut and brain pathways to send different messages about hunger and fullness and desire to eat."

Medicare does pay for bariatric surgery and behavioral weight-loss therapy. Over the years, legislative fixes to the medication ban have been proposed, including the Treat and Reduce Obesity Act, which has been introduced several times over the past decade, most recently in March of 2021. Lilly and Novo are both lobbying to change the Medicare language, and physicians, including NYU's Lofton, have also been calling on lawmakers to do so.

So far, those efforts have not been successful.

"Medicare is behind the times, and it's hampered by its own outdated policies," said Dorothea Vafiadis, director of the National Council on Aging's Center for Healthy Aging. "If you look at the CMS stated commitment, they are designed to close gaps in healthcare access, quality, and outcomes for underserved populations. And this really kind of flies in the face of that commitment."

The National Council on Aging, along with obesity advocacy organizations such as the Obesity Action Coalition, receive funding from the drug companies that market or are developing weight-management therapies. So do Kyle and Lofton, among other physicians and advocates. These financial relationships, though common in U.S. medicine and public policy, also underscore the billions of dollars in sales that may be at stake for Lilly and Novo.

A $54 billion market

Companies are racing not only to develop the most effective weight-management drug but to market the one that can best improve outcomes for obese patients beyond losing weight.

Novo expects to have the first batch of data from its Phase 3 clinical trial -- which will show whether Wegovy can reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke -- by mid-2023, according to a spokesperson. (The company also makes Saxenda, an older weight-management drug that's been shown to reduce body weight by about 5%.) Lilly, which is expected to soon file for FDA approval of tirzepatide as a weight-management therapy, also plans to launch a Phase 3 trial later this year to evaluate whether its drug can reduce morbidity and mortality.

If either study shows positive results, it could change the conversation with insurers and employers, because the value of an individual patient taking one of these medications will then be twofold. Not only will patients lose weight, but their comorbidities may improve, possibly averting costly medical care down the line.

Morgan Stanley predicts an obesity-drug market as large as $54 billion by 2030. UBS predicts $25 billion in peak sales for tirzepatide, which would make it "one of the bestselling drugs in history," according to the bank's analysts. SVB Securities puts peak sales expectations for tirzepatide, taking into account its potential use for both diabetes and obesity, a little lower, at roughly $21 billion. For context, Humira, AbbVie's rheumatoid-arthritis drug, is the world's top-selling drug, generating $20.7 billion in annual sales in 2021.

"Historically, [insurance] payers viewed obesity drugs like they did Botox for wrinkles. They viewed it as something that was a cosmetic drug that should not be covered by insurance," said David Risinger, an SVB analyst. "There needs to be a rethinking of coverage when there are drugs that offer transformational health benefits for a disease, even if it's common."

If that's the case, think of these drugs less like Botox and more like a new knee.

Diets to Help You Lower Your Cholesterol and Lose Weight – Healthline

If you have hypercholesterolemia, or high cholesterol, and are considering the best diet to lose weight and manage your condition, youre far from alone.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that 94 million adults in the United States over the age of 20 have borderline high or high cholesterol. Cholesterol can build up in your arteries, narrowing or stopping the flow of blood, and potentially causing a heart attack or stroke.

If you have high cholesterol, your healthcare team has likely recommended that you control your cholesterol level with lifestyle changes. These include getting more exercise and tweaking your diet or losing weight if youre overweight or have obesity.

With so many weight loss diets trending, it may be hard to choose among a multitude of popular or highly publicized options. One of the most common bits of advice is to choose the diet you can stick with, but theres a caveat. Some diet plans are more likely to lower your cholesterol, while others can make it worse.

Lets look at which dietary choices can help you lower your cholesterol and which wont.

When choosing an eating plan, its helpful to know which foods can be helpful in weight and cholesterol management. The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends the following foods as the basis for a heart-healthy diet:

Foods that can increase your cholesterol and contribute to weight gain include:

Its nice to have general recommendations, but many people prefer to have a clearer plan to follow.

If youre one of those people, here are some of the best research-backed, heart-healthy diets. These diets also boast a higher-than-average adherence rate. Thats how likely you are to stick to them in the long term.

The Mediterranean diet is tops on most lists and has the most research backing it. It includes:

The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet was crafted specifically to stop high blood pressure. Its part of a plan that also includes exercise. But, its also proven to reduce cholesterol.

The recommendation is to eat a diet rich in:

The DASH diet also calls for reducing total fat, especially saturated fat.

The National Institutes of Health developed the Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) diet to reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke. It includes eating based on certain numeric guidelines and getting 30 minutes a day of physical activity most days of the week. Key dietary recommendations are:

The Dean Ornish diet is a low fat, lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet. That means you avoid eating meat from animals, but you can have milk and egg products. In this case, it allows for egg whites and nonfat dairy.

This diet emphasizes eating mostly plants in their natural forms. You get most of your protein from plant sources, such as tofu, beans, and tempeh. It also emphasizes whole grains and healthy fats, and limits simple carbohydrates, especially sugar.

Though there isnt much new research available, an older 2009 study found that the Ornish diet was effective at reducing total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides.

The Flexitarian diet has become more popular over the years. Its a popular choice for some people who tried going fully vegetarian or vegan but may have found that eating plan too hard to stick to, or wanted some animal foods in their diets.

A 2015 study found that people who occasionally strayed from a vegetarian or vegan diet had significantly reduced their cholesterol and lost weight. A 2017 review also found that a Flexitarian diet improved metabolic health and blood pressure, and reduced the risk of diabetes.

The Flexitarian diet has no rigid rules, just lifestyle recommendations:

The vegan diet has become one of the most hyped eating plans, followed by an ever-lengthening list of celebrities. It calls for cutting out all animal products. This can reduce cholesterol greatly, as long as you stick to:

A 2018 study concluded that, in most countries, a vegan diet can significantly reduce LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. The study also showed reductions in body mass index (BMI), waist size, blood sugar, and blood pressure.

Some studies suggest that low carb diets raise your LDL cholesterol levels. But the South Beach Diet claims to do just the opposite. An older study found that the South Beach Diet did reduce LDL and total cholesterol.

The South Beach diet doesnt call for totally eliminating carbs, but rather choosing those with a low glycemic index. Its a phased program that initially calls for cutting out carbs, then reintroducing them a little at a time.

The diets effect on your cholesterol level depends on the types of protein and fat you choose to eat. The South Beach meal plan reduces your intake of saturated fats, which should lower your LDL cholesterol.

Some diets stand out as being risky for heart health. Some of these are based on a popular low carb and high protein way of eating. While they may be effective for weight loss, they allow or recommend a high intake of foods known to raise cholesterol levels.

Some popular diets that recommend this approach may lead to weight loss but higher cholesterol. According to the AHA, some have been linked to early death. It all depends on the types of fat and carbohydrate you consume.

Some diets that can contribute to higher cholesterol include:

The ketogenic (keto) diet involves whittling down your total carbohydrate intake to 20 to 50 grams per day. You get the bulk of your nutrients from protein and fats to force your body to use ketones instead of glucose (a kind of sugar) for fuel.

The keto diet can be safe and healthy for many people. But for others, it may worsen high cholesterol. This is especially true if you have familial hypercholesterolemia.

The keto diet can especially raise cholesterol if you get your calories from processed foods and saturated fats. These are present in fatty cuts of meat and whole milk dairy and cheese.

The Atkins diet entails eating all the protein and fat you want as long as you avoid high carb foods. Because it creates a calorie deficit, its effective for weight loss. But it also has the potential to include very high levels of saturated fat and processed meat, such as hot dogs and bacon.

A small 2018 study found a 44% increase in LDL cholesterol over 3 weeks in young, healthy adults on the Atkins diet compared to those who continued with their regular eating habits.

If you have high cholesterol or are at high risk of developing it, your doctor will first recommend lifestyle and dietary changes. Because there are so many popular diets, it can be hard to choose the right one for you.

Several diets have stood the test of time when it comes to lowering cholesterol. These include the Mediterranean Diet, the DASH diet, and the TLC diet. Plant-based diets like vegan and vegetarian diets can also help lower cholesterol.

Diets to avoid include high protein, low carb diets. Although these diets help many people lose weight, some of them call for unlimited consumption of foods that raise cholesterol, including red meat, fatty meat, and whole fat dairy.

Picking a diet you can stick to is the key to long-term success, so long as its heart-healthy. If youre unsure about which diet to choose, talk with your healthcare team.

12 steps to losing weight fast, according to the NHS… – The US Sun

IF you've over indulged recently, then you might be feeling a little uncomfortable.

While some people are happy in the skin they're in and are embracing their bodies, others might want to change their appearance.

1

If you fall into the second category, then this might be in the form of weight loss.

Being at a healthy weight is important as research has shown that this can ward off illnesses such as stroke and certain cancers.

Just last year the NHS launched an app that promises to help you shed a stone in weeks.

Their Better Health Campaign found that those who said they put on weight during the coronavirus pandemic, reported gaining at least half a stone.

Around one in five reported putting on a stone or more. In adults aged 35-65 years old, the average weight gain for those who put on weight is over 10lbs.

This is compared to data from users of the NHS Weight Loss Plan, who reported a loss of almost a stone over 12 weeks.

According to the NHS, to get the best possible start on its weight loss plan, there are 12 steps you should follow.

Contrary to what you might believe, the experts at the NHS said skipping breakfast will not help you lose weight.

If you do this, they warned that you could miss out on essential nutrients and you may end up snacking more throughout the day because you feel hungry which inevitably could cause you to gain weight.

Medics say that eating at regular times during the day helps burn calories at a faster rate.

"It also reduces the temptation to snack on foods high in fat and sugar," they state.

Getting your 5-A-Day is key as fruit and veg are low in both calories, fat and fibre - which the NHS says is essential for weight loss.

If you want to lose weight and maintain your loss you need to be active.

The gurus advise finding an activity you love and fitting it into your routine.

The NHS says that sometimes, people confuse thirst with hunger.

They said: "You can end up consuming extra calories when a glass of water is really what you need."

If you eat a diet high in fibre - such as beans, lentils, dried fruits and berries then you're likely to feel fuller for longer - which the NHS says is perfect for weight loss.

Reading the labels on foods can help you make healthier choices by using calorie, fat and salt information to plan your meals and snacks.

Experts at the NHS explain that using smaller plates can help you eat smaller portions.

"Byusing smaller plates and bowls, you may be able to gradually get used to eating smaller portions without going hungry.

"It takes about 20 minutes for the stomach to tell the brain it's full, so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full."

Banning foods will only make you crave them more.

Even if you're trying to lose weight you should allow yourself your favourite foods from time to time - everything in moderation.

One way to keep junk food out of your house is to stop buying it.

If the temptation isn't there, you're less likely have access to sweets and fizzy drinks.

Alcohol is full of calories - so over time drinking too much can contribute to weight gain.

Planning your meals can help you stick to your calorie goals.

You may find it helpful to stick to a weekly shopping list, they suggested.

The Truth About Your Metabolism and Its Impact on Weight Loss – Health News Hub

The metabolism is often viewed as the bodys mysterious chemical equation when it comes to weight gain and loss. Like chemistry, it confounds many of us, especially when factors like illness or menopause are added in.

In actuality, the bodys metabolism naturally adjusts itself to meet the needs of our individual bodies. It doesnt actually cause us to gain or lose weight. It is possible to manipulate our metabolism to a degree, and often a small change may help in weight loss efforts, said Kamraan Madhani, MD, a medical weight loss specialist with Hartford HealthCare.

Healthy weight loss starts with the same basic tenets:

But, explains Dr. Madhani, understanding the truth behind metabolism including how it works and the factors that impact it makes navigating weigh loss much easier.

Here are five common metabolism myths, debunked by an expert:

Menopause and its related hormone shifts might make women feel theyve lost control of their metabolism, but Dr. Madhani said focusing on what you eat and how you exercise greatly impacts your bodys functioning. Working with a medical weight loss specialist can also help you focus on meeting your bodys vitamin and mineral needs, especially the metabolism-boosting magnesium.

Foods like fish, berries and leafy greens have many benefits for your body, but it is important to consider the other determinants of weight including caloric balance, macronutrients, physical activity and lifes stressors, Dr. Madhani said. Consuming too much of any food, even healthy ones, is never a good idea.

Any weight loss that results from fasting is generally short-term, except practices like intermittent fasting, when done regularly and over the long term, Dr. Madhani said. In fact, fasting can decrease the metabolism and research shows that those who fast are more likely to add weight in the long run.

Women know this isnt true, but perhaps the most interesting fact here, Dr. Madhani said, is that our need for calories naturally decreases as we age, especially if were sedentary.

Eating smaller meals more often can keep you from feeling hungry and binging, but there is no clear correlation between more frequent eating and increased metabolism, Dr. Madhani said.

This Is The Best Smoothie Recipe To Reset Your Metabolism And Lose Weight Fast, According To Nutritionists – SheFinds

Smoothies are a tried-and-true way to start your day with energy, protein, fiber and other nutrients needed to support a healthy metabolism. With that said, we checked in with registered nutritionists and health experts for a great smoothie recipe that not only promotes gut health, but can also help you lose weight healthily by keeping you fuller and energized for longer. Read on for tips, suggestions and an original recipe from Lisa Richards, registered nutritionist and creator of The Candida Diet.

The 100+ Best Beauty Launches Of 2022

From its nutrient-rich ingredients to its choice of milk, Richards offers a smoothie recipe that is perfect for countless diets, including gluten-free, vegan, etc. She deems her "Very Coconut Smoothie" to be "packed with age-fighting antioxidants and free of inflammatory ingredients." Richards explains that her "go-to smoothie" would include chia seeds, ground preferably.

"Chia is an often overlooked, but exceptionally healthy ingredient to add to your smoothie to make it healthier and provide you with more benefits than just a meal replacement," she says. This superfood, she notes, is "versatile and packs a lot of nutrition into a small package."

The ingredients Richardschose for this smoothie, she continues, arefull of "plant-based protein and healthy omega fatty acids," which is ideal for those on a plant-based diet. "Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to improve immune health, especially when needed to bring balance to someone's omega-6 fatty acid intake," shesays, indicating how this smoothie recipe can do wonders for your metabolism.

"Omega-6 fatty acids are pro-inflammatory and must be met with similar balance with Omega-3 to prevent damaging inflammation from occurring," she adds, as this inflammatory fatty acid is found in many processed convenience foods and refined oils.

As for milk,Richardssays she would "rather not add oat milk or other high fat milk alternatives because they are often a source of unnecessary calories." Most of the time, she stresses that they add "little in the way of taste or texture," but easily add calories to an otherwise healthy smoothie, which could deter your weight loss goals. "I'd rather save those for nutrient-dense ingredients like fruit," she concludes.

Protetox has over a dozen active components in different dosages that can help with inflammation and provide nutrients to your body. It also provides valuable vitamins and minerals to aid weight loss and support health.

According to the manufacturer, Protetox contains the following ingredients and how they work:

Banaba:Protetox has banaba extract. This is a rich source of antioxidants linked to blood sugar support. Banaba is a critical ingredient in many diabetes supplements that are available online. It helps to maintain healthy blood sugar. Blood sugar control is directly related to appetite control. If your blood sugar fluctuates, it can be challenging to control your hunger, leading to more snacking and cravings. Although Banaba's clinical support for weight loss has been promising, further research is needed to determine the optimal dose.

Guggulis a popular ingredient in diabetes supplements. It has been used for centuries to promote health and well-being. Protetox claims that the formula's guggul contains powerful antioxidants that support healthy blood sugar, cholesterol, and hormones.

Bittermelon:Protetox has bitter melon extract. This extract is linked to blood sugar control, antioxidant effects, and blood sugar regulation. It may help you maintain healthy blood sugar levels and assist in weight loss by being taken daily. Studies have shown that bitter melon users lost more weight in seven weeks than those who took a placebo.

Yarrow:Yarrow is an ingredient that supports healthy inflammation and immunity. Protetox claims that the yarrow in this formula can also improve energy, mood, and overall well-being.

Gymnema Silvestre:Protetox describes Gymnema Silvestre as a "superfood." It can reduce food cravings and oxidative stress.

LeptiTrim Reviews: Negative Side Effects or Real Benefits? – Seattle Weekly

Obesity and unwanted weight gain are among the two major problems that people are facing in the current world. Given the sedentary lifestyle most people have, gaining weight is a process that can be difficult to fight if you do not choose your strategies correctly.

A number of people fail to stick to a proper diet or a rigorous exercising routine; therefore, they cannot control unwanted weight gain or lose weight. For such people, many weight loss supplements are available on the market.

However, it is not a good idea to randomly pick any supplement because a lot of supplements claim to be working miraculously but actually do not work and might also cause unforeseen side effects.

That is why we have presented this review of LeptiTrim, a weight loss supplement consisting of natural ingredients. In this review, we have tried to focus on the key points related to this supplement so that you can make a conscious choice while purchasing it to help you with your weight loss goals.

Let us now look briefly over LeptiTrim before we get into the details.

The most recent weight reduction supplement created particularly for women, LeptiTrim, is a naturally derived metabolic support compound that helps with weight loss while maintaining a healthy digestive system and energy levels.

It is a simple but exotic mixture of ingredients that addresses the root cause of weight gain and thus helps women to lose weight and achieve their weight loss goals.

The supplement comes in powdered form and you can mix it with your morning smoothie to start your day on a healthy note. Regular consumption of the supplement at a specific dosage will help you to lose weight in no time.

Consuming this supplement will help to trigger a dormant but very strong hormone present in the female body to increase your metabolic rate. The supplement holds the power to control all aspects related to the burning of fat in a womans body.

LeptiTrim works on the root causes of obesity in a females body and helps them lose weight. Our bodies naturally produce leptin, a hormone that communicates with the brain to raise the production of thyroid hormones and speed up the rate of calorie burning.

The supplement also helps to reduce ones appetite by telling the brain that the stomach is full and thus ensures that one does not overeat under any circumstances.

High levels of leptin boost your metabolism, keeping you active and aware that your body is burning fat, while low levels of leptin cause your metabolism to sluggishly maintain energy and encourage your body to eat more food.

Since womens bodies work differently than mens, the production and action of leptin function differently in a female body.

Women prioritize fat burning when trying to lose weight. Women follow the most popular diet and workout regimens, which arent created to satisfy their skills, requirements, and limits because their burning switch is off.

However, this particular supplement, with its natural blend of ingredients, takes care of every possible issue that a woman might face on her weight loss journey and, therefore, successfully helps women to lose weight and achieve their dream body.

One study from the American Chemical Society found that rats given pomegranate extract gained significantly less weight than those who didnt share a similar diet but didnt receive any supplements.

Other studies have suggested that pomegranates could help keep blood pressure under control and protect against cancer.

Pomegranates contain a variety of anti-inflammatory phytochemicals, including punicalagin, ellagic acids, and anthocyanidins.

One study found that eating just half a cup of pomegranate seeds daily for three months lowered total cholesterol by 7.5 points and LDL (bad) cholesterol by 5.7 points.

One study on cinnamon found that cinnamon extract may protect against heart disease by improving cholesterol levels and decreasing bad LDL cholesterol. The same study also found that cinnamon extract lowered triglycerides and raised HDL cholesterol.

According to research, cinnamon may help maintain bone density and prevent osteoporosis. One study found that rats fed a high-calcium diet supplemented with cinnamon extract had higher calcium concentrations in their bones than rats not given the supplement.

Researchers found that people who ate a high-fiber diet lost about 4 percent more weight over 12 months compared with those on low-fiber diets. Fiber helps slow down digestion and absorption of food, which makes us feel fuller longerand therefore reduces cravings for unhealthy foods.

A study published in the journal Obesity followed nearly 5,000 women for 20 years and found that those who were most physically active had the lowest risk of becoming obese. Even better: they had lower BMIs when they did become obese.

Following are the natural ingredients in LeptiTrim:

Inulin is a type of sugar that occurs naturally in certain foods such as onions, garlic, leeks, artichokes, agar-agar (a gelatinous substance derived from seaweed), chicory root, Jerusalem artichoke, bananas, asparagus, lentils, beans, peas, and cauliflower. It can also be produced synthetically by adding enzymes to sucrose or glucose molecules.

When we think of fiber, we often think of it being something thats good for our health. But theres another benefit to fiber that many people dont know about: it increases fat burning!

Fiber slows down digestion so that the nutrients in the food get absorbed into the bloodstream slowly. This allows the body to use them efficiently before they reach the cells where they would normally be stored as fat.

This is why fiber has been shown to help reduce hunger levels and increase satiety. When we eat slower, we tend to eat less. And when we eat less, we lose weight.

Cinnamon contains an ingredient called coumarin, which has been shown to boost metabolism and improve insulin sensitivity. In one study, participants who took cinnamon supplements experienced improved blood sugar control and reduced belly fat after just two weeks.

Another study found that cinnamon extract increased energy expenditure and fat oxidation in mice. Cinnamon extract was even able to reverse some of the negative effects of a high-fat diet.

Cinnamon contains an element called coumarin, a compound that boosts metabolism and improves insulin sensitivity. A study conducted at the University of California, San Francisco, showed that taking 1 gram of cinnamon daily for four weeks helped people with metabolic syndrome lose 3 pounds while reducing waist circumference by 2 inches.

It is a great spice to add to your kitchen cupboard. This warming spice adds flavor to everything from sweet treats to savory dishes. In fact, cinnamon is often used to make baked goods taste sweeter. But did you know that this warm spice can actually help you lose weight?

A recent study published in Nutrients found that adding just half a teaspoon of cinnamon to your morning oatmeal can reduce appetite and boost metabolism. Another study published in the International Journal of Obesity found that eating cinnamon before meals can lower calorie intake by up to 20 percent.

Its thought that cinnamon triggers the release of serotonin, a neurotransmitter associated with feelings of fullness and satisfaction. Serotonin also plays an important role in regulating sleep patterns.

Research suggests that cinnamon could have anti-inflammatory properties that help fight belly fat. One study found that cinnamon extract decreased inflammation markers associated with belly fat. Another study found that cinnamon extract reversed some of the negative effects caused by a high-fat diet in mice.

One study found that cinnamon extract improved blood sugar control in people with diabetes. Participants who took 1 gram of cinnamon three times per day saw their fasting blood sugar drop by 10 points and their hemoglobin A1c decrease by 0.5 percentage points.

Green tea is loaded with antioxidants like EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), which are believed to help burn fat. According to a study published in Nutrition Journal, drinking green tea can lead to significant reductions in visceral fat the kind of fat that surrounds your organs and contributes to chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

The researchers concluded that green tea catechins may promote weight loss through increasing thermogenesis and lipolysis .

EGCG is the most abundant catechin in green tea. Its also one of the more potent compounds when it comes to fighting cancer cells.

Green tea contains caffeine, but it doesnt seem to raise blood pressure or cause jitters, like coffee does. Instead, it seems to stimulate the release of human growth hormone, which helps build lean muscle mass.

In addition, studies suggest that EGCG increases the amount of fat burned during exercise, so you might be burning calories without realizing it.

EGCG has been shown to activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) a metabolic master switch that regulates energy production within our bodies. When activated, this enzyme causes the body to break down stored fats for fuel instead of relying on glucose.

This process is called fatty acid oxidation, and its what happens when we run out of glycogen stores. Fatty acids are the main source of energy for muscles, and theyre much easier to metabolize than carbohydrates.

So when you drink green tea, youre helping your body use its own fat reserves rather than relying on glucose from food. This makes it easier to lose weight and keep it off.

Berries contain powerful phytochemicals called anthocyanins, which have been linked to reduced risk of certain cancers and heart disease. They also contain flavonoids, which appear to reduce inflammation throughout the body.

A recent study suggests that eating berries may help you lose weight. Researchers at Harvard University gave overweight adults either 300 grams of blueberries, strawberries, black raspberries, or red raspberries or a placebo every day for 12 weeks. Afterward, those who ate berries lost an average of 3 pounds compared to just 1 pound among those who didnt eat them.

Blueberries were especially effective. Those who ate two cups of these sweet treats each day dropped 4.3 percent of their total body weight over the course of the study. The other fruits werent nearly as effective.

Blueberries are also rich in resveratrol, a compound that appears to protect against heart disease by reducing bad cholesterol levels and preventing plaque buildup in arteries.

Cranberries are another great way to boost your metabolism and fight belly fat. Cranberries are packed full of fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants.

Theyve also been proven to lower LDL cholesterol, improve insulin sensitivity, and even help prevent urinary tract infections.

The best part about cranberries is that theyre low in sugar and high in water content. So, if you want to get rid of stubborn belly fat fast, try adding some fresh cranberries in to your diet.

Black currants are one of the most popular superfoods around because theyre loaded with nutrients and antioxidants.

These little jewels can help you burn more calories while you sleep, too. A study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that mice fed a high-fat diet had better sleep quality after drinking black currant juice.

Researchers believe this is due to the polyphenols present in black currants, including gallic acid, catechin, epicatechin, and quercetin. These compounds have been shown to increase the expression of genes involved in cellular respiration and energy expenditure.

Another benefit of consuming black currants is that theyll help you feel fuller longer. In fact, a study published in the British Journal of Nutrition found that people who drank black currant juice experienced less hunger between meals.

This means that youll be able to enjoy smaller portions without feeling deprived. Plus, you wont reach for junk foods as often.

Following are the benefits of using LeptiTrim

Knowing these 10 facts about metabolism will make your weight loss journey smooth – Firstpost

Metabolism is a process responsible for converting food into energy. During the process, the calories present in food mix with oxygen to release the energy your body required. If you've ever heard that some people put on weight faster than others, then this is the reason behind it

When you try to lose weight, you hear a lot about the need for a fast metabolism to make the fitness goal achievable. But what exactly is metabolism?

It is a process in which, what you eat or drink, is converted into energy by your body. During the process, the calories present in consumed items mix with oxygen to release the required energy. Your metabolism depends on various factors, like your bodys size, sex, and age. For example, people with a bigger body build and weight burn more calories than the rest. Also, as you start ageing, your metabolism begins to slow down. This article will clear the mist around the subject and break down the phenomenon for you.

Metabolism is boosted by protein

When you are trying to build muscles or lose weight, you should consume more protein. Protein, compared to other macros Fats and Carbohydrates, has a more thermic effect. This the body has to burn more energy to process foods high in protein. In addition to this, protein is highly satiating, making you feel full soon and for long, helping you stick to a diet.

Your sleep cycle influences your metabolism rate

The process of metabolism takes place all the time, even when you are sleeping. The endocrine system is responsible for managing metabolism. And lack of sleep has a very negative effect on the Endocrine system. So, you should take proper sleep if you want to lose weight.

There are foods that can increase metabolism

Coffee, eggs, and green poultry are some of the foods which can boost the metabolism rate.

Cold water boosts metabolism

Our body burns more calories to process cold water, and hence, consuming it increases your metabolism rate.

Exercising increases metabolism

Engaging in physical activities helps you in burning more calories. You will need to take out some time out of your busy schedule for exercising.

Skipping meals is a bad idea

Contrary to the popular belief, you should refrain from skipping meals if you want to lose weight. Remember, you need to consume fewer calories, not food. If you engage in skipping meals, then you will miss the nutrients your body needs. And this may eventually lead to the improper functioning of your metabolism system.

You burn most of your calories when you are resting

Your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) or resting metabolic rate is responsible for most of the calories you burn. So, even when you are not doing anything, you are still burning calories.

Not all slimming pills are safe to use

If you are thinking about consuming slimming pills, then please consult a healthcare professional. Not all such pills are safe and can do more harm than help.

More muscles mean a higher metabolism rate

1 kg of muscle requires 12 calories per day to survive, so higher body mass means more burning of calories.

Vitamin D increases metabolism

It is said that eating foods rich in Vitamin D improve your BMR. Red meat, oily fish, and egg yolks are some foods rich in Vitamin D.Read all the Latest News, Trending News, Cricket News, Bollywood News,
