Energy expenditure during overfeeding
The large inter-individual variation in weight gain during standardized overfeeding together with a weight gain that is often less than theoretically calculated from the energy excess suggest inter-individual variation in the ability to increase energy expenditure above obligatory costs. The question is whether there is experimental evidence for adaptive thermogenesis. From the numerous human overfeeding experiments we selected those studies that applied suitable protocols and measurement techniques. Five studies claimed to have found evidence for based on weight gains smaller than expected or increased thermogenesis above obligatory costs. Results from the other 11 studies suggest there is no adaptive thermogenesis as weight gains were proportional to the amount of overfeeding and the increased thermogenesis was associated with theoretical costs of an increased body size and a larger food intake. These results show that in humans, there is still little evidence for adaptive thermogenesis. However, they do not rule out the existence, but emphasize that if present, adaptive changes in energy expenditure are rather small. In addition, it is not clear in which component or components of total energy expenditure adaptive changes can occur and whether components can overlap due to measurement limitations. (more…)

Ephedra Products
Ephedra products are still available. Run, don’t walk to your nearest computer and buy some fast because you may not have the chance to do so for very long.
Do not go to a store hoping to find ephedra diet pills either because the majority of stores are not going to carry ephedra products. Any type of chain store will never carry these types of diet products again. If you are lucky you might find a local independent herbal store or gym owner that thinks it is okay to sell weight loss aids with ephedra.
So why are stores not selling ephedra?
Despite the fact that these types of diet pills meant brisk sales and huge profits, it is no longer worth the risk of a lawsuit. Also, insurance companies will not authorize the big chain stores to sell these risky products for the same reason of the threat of being sued by someone that encounters a problem. (more…)
