FACTOID (You On A Diet; page 9):
"In men, the supplement L-carnitine -- at a dose of 3 grams a day -- helps muscles use carbohydrates, but it is also good for blood vessel function in both men and women."

"Maybe the old days were right: It used to be that young docs would criticize older docs for giving B12 shots, calling them nothing more than placebos. But nearly 40 percent of Americans may suffer from a vitamin B12 deficiency."

FACTOID (You On A Diet; page 57):
"Eating nuts does not create the calorie intake that you might expect, because 5 percent to 15 percent of the calories are not absorbed by the intestinal system. That's because the nuts' skin and how well we chew nuts influence digestion. An added bonus: The slow release of calories throughout the intestinal system leads to prolonged satiety."

OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS (You On A Diet; page 95):
"Omega-3 fatty acids -- found in fish oils -- seem to increase the number of PPARs, which will help reduce your inflammation. We recommend you get omega-3s in the form of three four-ounce servings of fish per week or a 2-gram fish oil capsule a day or an ounce of walnuts a day. (Saturated fats, by the way, increase inflammatory properties, and trans fat undermines the effects of omega-3s.)"

FIBER COMPLEX (You On A Diet; page 68):
"Many of us may associate fiber with better health and increased toilet time, but fiber is the speed bump of your GI interstate. It slows everything way down. Technically, it works by slowing the transit of food across the ileocecal valve, keeping your stomach fuller for longer. The result: a greater feeling of satiety and an increase of appetite-suppressing CCK-like signals. While you should aim for around 30 grams of fiber a day, the key is bulking up in the morning..."
"...Besides controlling blood sugar levels and decreasing insulin levels, fiber also reduces calorie intake for up to eighteen hours a day. Start with 1 to 2 grams of dietary fiber before meals and at bedtime and slowly increase to 5 grams. (if you add it all at once, you'll produce more gas than a Saudi oil field.) The supplement konjac root also seems to have a fiber-related effect. One study showed a nearly six-pound weight loss in eight weeks for those who ate 1 gram of it an hour before their meals"

"Preliminary Studies in animals show that the scent of grapefruit oil -- yes, just the scent -- has an effect of reducing the appetite and body weight. Rats exposed to the scents for fifteen minutes three times a week enjoyed the effect. The cause? It's unclear, but it may work through grapefruit oil's effects on liver enzymes..."

DEODORANTS (You On A Diet; page 92):
"Some deodorants contain chemicals that can disrupt your normal metabolism, making you more likely to gain weight. While we don't recommend ditching the deodorant and scaring off elevator mates, you should avoid deodorants that contain the ingredient aluminum or sprays with polychlorobiphenols."

GREEN TEA (You On A Diet; page 95):
"The thinking is that atechins in green tea inhibit the breakdown of fats and also inhibit production of NF-kappa B. Studies have found that drinking three glasses of green tea a day reduced body weight and waist circumference by 5 percent in three months. It also increased metabolism (all nonherbal teas have substances that increase the metabolic rate)."

NIACIN (You On A Diet; page 123):
"Clear It All Up: More and more evidence is howing that clog-free living is correlated with raising your amount of HDL to thwart the clog-triggering process. By raising your HDL, you increase the amount of healthy cholesterol that's available to clear away the lousy cholesterol. Things that have been shown to effectively raise HDL include:
Taking niacin. Take 100 milligrams four times a day. Regular (and OTC) niacin is much cheaper that prescription niacin, and there seems to be a beneficial effect of extended-release doses... Do not increase the dose above this level without taking to your doctor, and check with your doctor before using niacin at any dose if you have a history of liver problems."

CHROMIUM (You On A Diet; page 125):
"Go Chrome. Chromium, a mineral fouind in a variety of foods (expecially mushrooms), seems to help control blood sugar. Taking 200 micrograms a day of the supplement chromium picolinate can help aid the uptake of insulin, to help your cells use blood sugar for fuel. Though the studies aren't definitive at this point, we recommend the supplement for waist -- and blood sugar -- control. Chromium increases yoiur cells sensitivity to insulin and is depleted by refined sugars, white flour, and lack of exercise. One study showed users lost four pounds over ten weeks compared with no pounds in a control group. You should take it with magnesium, which reduces low-grade inflammation that can be associated with insulin resistance. A dose of 600 micrograms of chromium has been shown to be effective for those with type 2 diabetes, but for others, stick to the recommended dose of 200 micrograms. Just because a little is good doesn't mean that taking a lot more is better. Taking too much chromium can hurt your kidneys."

"The supplement Coenzyme Q10 is an essential part of your cells that is responsible for energy conversion (it converts glucose to ATP, the energy that powers your cellular functions). In a few studies, CoQ10 improved muscular performance by 10 percent to 30 percent, and it can help protect muscles from oxidative stress..."

FACTOID (You On A Diet; page 157):
"When the level of serotonin in your brain falls, your body senses starvation, and to protect itself, starts craving carbs the way twelve-year-olds crave Hilary Duff sightings. Serotonin levels plummet after you go too long without eating, and that prompts your bodily machine to fill itself with foods. Some have tried to keep their serotonin levels up by supplementation with 5-HTP, the breakdown product of tryptophan that converts to and stimulates serotonin. In a six-week study, a group of dieters using 5-HTP lost an average of twelve pounds, while a control group lost an average of four. Although one side effect of the supplement is nausea, about 90 percent of women taking 300 milligrams of 5-HTP reported satiety while on the diet."
