Fitness Matters: Hormones play a role in burning fat Shelly Greenfield Post-Bulletin Company, LLC

Hormones play a role in nearly every bodily function. These chemical messengers travel throughout the body, coordinating complex processes like growth, metabolism and fertility, as well as influencing the function of the immune system, and even altering behavior.

There are seven specific hormones that can have a direct impact on your body's ability to burn fat. Many of these hormones are dependent on one another, so understanding some basics can help you make better decisions on your fat loss journey.

Leptin

In addition to storing triglycerides, adipose tissue (fat) also secretes the hormone leptin. This hormone signals the brain when we are full. The more fat you have, the more leptin will be released, which sounds great, right? Wrong. Too much of this hormone can cause leptin resistance, which leads to overeating! The simplest way to remedy this is to get on a regular diet plan with several mini meals per day, portion-controlled, and add a cheat meal each week!

Gherlin

This hormone is made and released in the stomach, and works the opposite of leptin. Gherlin signals the brain that you are hungry, when the stomach is empty. The challenge is that this hormone does not go away, and never really adapts to eating less. So you may always feel hungry, whether you need food or not! The only way to decrease gherlin levels, for a period of time, is to get an intense workout!

Adiponectin

This powerful hormone is also produced by our body fat. It can crank up your body's ability to use carbs for energy, boost your metabolic rate, increase the rate at which your body breaks down fat, and even suppress your appetite! Adiponectin also regulates insulin function and reduces inflammation in your circulatory system. We all want more of this one, right?

Here is the problem: If your lean mass levels are too low, your adiponectin will also be low. By shifting your body composition to more muscle mass, and less fat, you can regulate this fat-burning hormone. This is one more reason to keep pumping iron! Also, studies point out that basics of increased fiber and DHA fish oils, along with regular exercise will help increase levels.

You may have heard of Dr Oz's promotion of a product called "Raspberry Ketones." This product is riding on a study in which scientists observed a higher secretion of adiponectin with the consumption of Raspberry Ketones.

Insulin

This hormone is secreted by the pancreas and released whenever we eat any foods that contain sugar, or basically any carbohydrate. If you are trying to build muscle, insulin is key to post-workout as it can trigger nutrient delivery to muscles. An overload of that sugar can be stored as body fat as well as end the fat-burning process. The key to remember is to always consume your carbs with a source of protein to control the insulin release. Thus the catch phrase: "never eat a carb naked!"

Glucagon

This hormone — also secreted by the pancreas, but in an effort to raise blood sugar levels — works the opposite of insulin. Glucagon breaks down stored fat and fuels fat burning, but eating too many carbs will cause this hormone to stop converting the stored fat into energy. To maximize glucagon release, follow a high protein and lower carb diet (150 grams per day is considered low carb, while under 100g is considered a ketogenic diet).

Cortisol

This catabolic muscle-wasting hormone is produced by the adrenal glands whenever we encounter stress. It could be life circumstances or massive amounts of training causing the stress, but chronic high levels of cortisol result in higher-than-normal levels of insulin, muscle loss, and added body fat.

Cortisol can also deplete your body of serotonin, which can also impact your quality of sleep, recovery, and appetite. The solution: sleep 8 hours every night, and have balance in your life so your stress doesn't eat you up.

Norepinephrine

This hormone, which is released from the brain, is the key to regular fat metabolism! The most effective way to get this cranked up is to do circuit training, and get that heart racing and adrenaline pumping! This is the key to the fastest results in fat burning, which lasts long after the workout has ended. Your metabolism will be boosted all day long.

My philosophy: "Work out smarter, not harder!"

Innovative Ways To Help Fat Loss - hellomagazine.com (blog)

If you have been trying your best to eat healthy and feel like you could do with a little push in the right direction then this post is for you. By simply adding certain foods to your diet, changing the way you eat and adjusting your lifestyle, you can give your metabolism a little bit of a push in the right direction to burning fat.

- Changing your eating pattern: If you are a snacker then ditch them. Change your eating schedule to just 3 meals per day (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner) and try to have them 5 hours apart. This can help maximise digestion of meals and ensure the fat-burning process isn’t interrupted. It worked for Boy George following the Metabolic Balance diet, I’m sure it’ll work for you (not recommended for particular stressed individuals and people who have problems with sugar handling. If in doubt consult a Nutritional Therapist).

-Cinnamon: Adding cinnamon to your morning porridge can make it delicious but also can give your fat loss a boost as research has shown it can halt sharp rises in your blood sugar after eating meal (1). Try this delicious Soaked Oats recipe here.

-Apple Cider Vinegar: Use apple cider vinegar to make dressings. The vinegar has been shown to lower blood sugar levels post eating and also improve cholesterol markers (2).

-Green Tea: Research indicates that sipping on green tea can actually promote fat loss. This is due to green tea containing catechins, which may trigger weight loss and prime the body for fat burning. Try making your own iced green tea with a squeeze of lemon.

-Hydration: Drinking 2 litres of filtered water a day can assist with removal of waste from the body and may therefore promote fat loss. Choose filtered to minimise exposure to the nasties in tap water.

-Carbohydrate intake: Lose all refined starches from your diet such as commercial breakfast cereals & white food items. Limit your carbohydrate portion (rice, potato, bread, pasta etc) to 50g cooked portion. Choose low Glycaemic Load “grown above ground” vegetables to make up half your plate portion.

-Soluble Fibre: Consume foods containing soluble fibre such as beans, pulses, turnip, sweede, oats and brown rice. This can help with balancing your blood sugar levels but also play in role in lowering your cholesterol.

 -Coconut Oil: Coconut oil seems a healthier saturated fat than animal fat as it has been associated with higher levels of good cholesterol (HDL). Coconut oil contains Medium Chain triglycerides, which are less likely to be stored as fat. Further coconut oil may beneficially alter body composition and promote weight loss.

-Exercise: Find time to do you exercise before breakfast or even on an empty stomach. Recent research indicated exercising before breakfast can help with blasting fat. Don’t have time before breakfast? Simply try a few squats, press ups or lunges before you have breakfast.

-Sleep: Getting good quality and sufficient sleep is imperative for fat loss. While you sleep, your growth hormone peaks, a hormone to regulate fat burning and lean muscle building. Not only try to get to bed at 10pm three nights a week but also make sure your room is fit for sleeping. Keep it free from technology and make sure it is completely dark and well ventilated.

Vivus, Arena Drugs Fail to Burn Americans' Prodigious Fat

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (TheStreet) -- Vivus (VVUS) can't convince enough fat Americans to try its weight-loss pill Qsymia despite spending a ton of cash on marketing and free drug giveaways. At its current burn rate, Vivus will need to raise more money no later than the second half of the year.

Shares of Vivus were down 12% to $10.96 in Tuesday trading.

The dismal $2 million in Qsymia sales reported by Vivus in the fourth quarter is a harbinger of doom for Arena Pharmaceuticals (ARNA), which along with partner Eisai is expected to launch its weight-loss pill Belviq next month. Belviq barely manages to help patients lose any meaningful weight, but will cost significantly more than Qsymia.

See if (VVUS) is in our portfolio

Let's first tackle Vivus because the company turned in an ugly quarter Monday night. The $2 million in Qsymia sales was $1 million short of downgraded analyst consensus for the fourth quarter. How downgraded? Last fall, analysts on average were looking for more than $24 million in Qsymia sales during the December quarter.

Vivus spent more than $50 million in SG&A to generate those $2 million in Qsymia sales in the fourth quarter. Add in R&D costs and Vivus' total operating expenses topped $58 million. Cash and marketable securities fell by $61 million sequentially. Vivus ended last year with $213 million in the piggy bank and refused to offer any spending guidance for 2013 except to acknowledge that marketing expenses for Qsymia will remain high.

Even if Qsymia sales pick up, Vivus' current and expected rate of spending means there's less than a year's cash remaining.

For the four-week period ending on Feb. 15, Vivus shipped 17,383 Qsymia prescriptions, a 34% increase over the previous four-week period ended on Jan. 18. That sounds like encouraging script growth, except it's down from 68% growth in the four-week period between November and December last year. Vivus deserves a pass for the December holiday month -- no one wants to lose weight during Christmas -- and sure enough, the number of Qsymia scripts shipped was flat.

Bottom line: The rate of Qsymia script growth is falling despite the company offering freebies and other marketing inducements. Vivus continues to blame Qsymia's poor performance on the hassle of mail-order pharmacy requirements and believes sales will take off once patients can buy the drug at their neighborhood pharmacy. [FDA's decision on liberalizing the drug's distribution restriction is expected in April.] There's certainly some truth in this spin but Qsymia has a tremendously long way to go before sales reach a meaningful level. The idea that Qsymia might one day achieve blockbuster status or help Vivus generate a profit seems more fantasy than an achievable goal.

Mary Tran from Health Review Center shows that: “Forever Body Transformation is the natural weight fat loss diet plan that guides dieters how to lose weight at home effectively. When people purchase this new program, they will get useful bonuses, which help them get their goal quickly.

The builders also give dieters the step-by-step guide that helps them understand and apply the new program easily. The price of the natural program is reasonable so everyone can afford to get it with ease. Moreover, this program gives users a full supportive service whenever they need. Especially, the builders of the new system will offer users a 100% money back guarantee if they do not satisfy with the result”.
