The significance of calorie reduction in losing weight

Pine nut oil is not a fat-burner. It is an appetite suppressant. Losing weight by consuming fewer calories rather than by burning more calories is of great benefit to overall health.

Medical researchers writing for the Journal of the American Medical Association followed volunteers who succeeded at calorie restriction for 26 weeks. The scientists measured a number of biochemical markers of aging, such as blood sugar levels, insulin levels, DHEA, and core body temperature, and well as weight loss.

As many other scientific studies have also found, exercising more does very little to help lose weight. In this study, volunteers who exercised to burn more fat lost no weight, even at the end of six months. Calorie restriction with exercise and calorie restriction without exercise led to about 10 per cent weight loss with about 25 per cent reduction in body fat. Weight loss, however, is only part of the story.

When people eat less, their bodies do not require as much insulin. In a sense, eating less makes it easier to continue eating less.

People who try to lose weight by exercise need more insulin to transport more sugars released from the carbohydrates they eat (and also, many people will be surprised to learn, from protein, about 28 to 35 per cent of all protein eventually converted to glucose).

When cells in muscles, the liver, and fat are exposed to high levels of blood sugar after a meal, they protect themselves by becoming "resistant" to the ability of insulin to transport sugar out of the bloodstream. This keeps them from being overrun by sugar that then would have to be burned with the production of toxic free radicals.

Even if blood sugar levels are not high, just having more insulin in the bloodstream also causes cells to become resistant to insulin, at least as far as its ability to transport sugar is concerned.

Insulin not only transports sugar, it also transports fat. Cells become sugar-resistant, but not fat-resistant. When people attempting to lose weight only exercise more, cells become more and more resistant to receiving glucose sugar, but they absorb more and more fat. As soon as the fat is burned, it is replaced. The only way to lose fat is to eat less.
 

Pinolenic acid in pine nut oil helps dieters eat less

Pinolenic acid from Korean pine nuts really works in weight loss. It is safe. It is effective. It helps adults over 50 lose weight by increasing feelings of a full stomach and by providing more satisfaction from less food. By safely stimulating the release of the appetite-control hormones CCK and GLP-1, taking pine nut oil can suppress the feelings of hunger and deprivation that so often sabotage calorie-restricted weight-loss efforts.
