Exercise Suppresses Appetite

If you’re on a diet and feel hungry before it’s time to eat again, try working out! A new fitness study says that exercise suppresses your appetite. According to the the American Physiological Society, when doing aerobic activity like walking on a treadmill for 60 minutes, your body produces a surge in hunger squashing hormones! The effect lasts for about 2 hours including the duration of your exercise.

Build Muscle To Fire Up Your Metabolism

Even though the study produced promising results, it’s still unknown if the suppression of the appetite hormones has any effect on the suppression of eating. Researchers are excited about furthering their research to find more effective ways to use exercise to help weight control.

While several hormones help regulate your appetite, the researchers only looked at the two major ones, ghrelin and peptide YY. Ghrelin is a hormone that is known to stimulate appetite while Peptide YY is an appetite suppressing hormone.

The study looked at the effects of the two hormones after a 60-minute walking based workout on a treadmill vs 90 minutes of weight lifting. The researchers concluded that walking or any aerobic activity is better at suppressing one’s appetite than non-aerobic exercise based on the analysis of the levels of ghrelin and peptide YY the body produced.

Even though this study is early in the works, before your Christmas meal, go for a long walk to see if perhaps it helps you restrain from overeating!

Britney Spears’ Diet Does Not Include Nutrition 53

Britney Spears’ new music video “Womanizer” showcases the star’s recent diet and fitness transformation. Britney is once again all the rage. She has a new documentary coming out on MTV and a hot new body thanks to a grueling weight loss program.

Britney’s diets are highly sought-after by celebrity weight watchers. Her abs workout is a red-hot searched term on the web. So just how did she do it this time?

Known for sticking to what’s tried and true, Britney has reportedly lost a total of 25 pounds. It’s easy to see if you watch the video.

According to MSNBC, Spears is losing healthfully at a rate of about 2 pounds a week. “She’s never looked so good in her life,” says a source. I beg to differ. She looked pretty close to perfect at the VMA’s when she performed “Oops I did it again” but hey, that’s just MY opinion.

The source also tells MSNBC that Britney’s secret is something called Nutrition 53. “She’s taking Nutrition 53, she’s working out, she’s grounded.” Nutrition 53, interestingly, is the supplement backed by former NFL linebacker Bill Romanowski.

Do I smell a fake celebrity endorsement for a diet supplement?! I chose to do my own research to find out!

There are 3 kind of supplements being sold by this Nutrition 53 company: Neuro 1, Sleep 1 and Lean 1. Assuming she’s taking the lean, it delivers “30 g of premium protein for muscle definition, 14 organic fruit and vegetable extracts, herbal extracts for hunger control and heart healthy omega-3 & physterols!” It’s actually a meal replacement that claims to be all natural. I think it’s 200 calories and I say I think because the nutrition facts can only be seen as a pdf and it’s so small that when I try to make it bigger, I can’t make out the last two numbers.

Anyway… CelebTV contacted Romanowski and here is what he said, “I have to be very careful to protect the people that do take my product. Most of Hollywood is taking Lean 1 right now. And, it’s the best tasting meal replacement and a lot of really high profile people have had phenomenal results with it…you can put two and two together.”

Spears recently told OK! Magazine that, “I’m the healthiest I’ve been all my life. My diet has a lot to do with my getting into shape. I have no sugar. I don’t eat fruit or even fruit juice because of the sugar. I eat chicken and salmon and rice. I eat avocados. I’ll have egg whites for breakfast and sometimes turkey burgers for lunch.” This is consistent with her other revelations regarding her regimen.

My gut feeling is that this is a ridiculous claim in order for this supplement to make money. I highly doubt Spears is using Lean 1. My final verdict is NO, she’s not using Nutrition 53 but that Bill Romanowski is just another money hungry hotshot trying to make a dime off of the pop star’s return to the spotlight.
