Miraculous diets

Miraculous diets, here is the truth

The miraculous diets never work. Fashionable diets, which lead to a significant weight loss, mainly concern a loss of fluid and not fat, which will be recovered over time. This is what emerges from a research published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and reported in the British newspaper' Daily Mail'.

The study focuses on a particular fat-burning supplement: synephrine. During the research, a group of cyclists were monitored to see how fat levels changed during and after exercise. But even after consuming synephrine, cyclists burned 7 grams per minute, 42 grams in an hour. This means that even with a supplement, a person cannot burn more than one kilo per month.

According to Juan Del Coso, researcher at the University Camilo José Cela of Madrid,"weight loss can be increased by sinefirna, but always combined with good physical activity", also says that it is not possible to lose more than one kilo per month. "The objective - the researcher explains - should be this: to lose one kilo per month, but one kilo of fat".

Synephrine is a substance that can be found in nature, albeit in small quantities, in foods such as oranges, mandarins and grapefruit. You can find it on the market in more concentrated amounts such as bitter orange extract. Because of its similarity with ephedrine (a stimulator of the nervous system), it has become a very popular supplement, used mainly to accompany diets. The advantage of synephrine is its low impact on heartbeat and arterial tension. However, the authors of the research stress the need to continue studies in this field in order to determine the long-term effects of this substance on energy production and metabolism.
