“Over the three months, BDNF levels greatly increased. This higher the concentration of BDNF, the less the subject's intake of calories and the greater the weight loss, Araya said. > Thus, it is possible that increases in BDNF suppress appetite, she said.”

“A recent study found that high-protein, low-calorie diets promote weight loss and improve cardiometabolic markers in people at risk for type 2 diabetes. The study involved 117 adults with either prediabetes or type 2 diabetes and a body mass index (BMI) over 27.5—considered overweight or obese.”

“These findings reveal that co-supplementation with a weekly 50,000 IU dose of vitamin D and a daily 250 mg of magnesium can aid weight loss, enhance mood, and improve a host of blood biomarkers pertaining to systemic inflammation, brain functioning, and longevity.”

“A tightly controlled study of ten people with obesity who described themselves as resistant to weight loss found that measured energy expenditure was consistent with body composition. Participants underreported intake by an average of 47 percent and overreported physical activity by 51 percent.”

“When nursing-mother mice took a very high dose of nicotinamide riboside supplement (3 grams/kg/bw), they experienced weight loss and improved quantity and quality of their milk. Their offspring demonstrated better motor coordination, better learning and memory, less anxiety, and greater stress resilience than mice whose mothers were not supplemented.”

“Since some of the study participants in these trials were obese, teasing out the benefits of caloric restriction from those that invariably accompany the weight loss associated with the practice is difficult. In addition, caloric restriction is difficult to adhere to.”

“These findings suggest that high carotenoid intake can help with weight loss. They also support epidemiological data indicating that vegetable intake can play a positive role in modulating body weight. Link to full publication.”

“A 12-month trial found similar weight loss with an eight-hour window and daily calorie restriction; both groups reduced energy intake. Dr. Patrick raises autophagy as one proposed fasting mechanism, while Dr. Norton stresses that autophagy also occurs with energy restriction and exercise and is not unique to time-restricted eating.”
