Weight loss and amino acids

Did you know amino acids are very helpful for weight loss.
What's more is that weight loss in key areas like the abdominal area can be obtained much quicker. Check out the following.

25 wrestlers were divided into 3 groups and were fed 3 separate diets:

-One was fed a diet high in BCAA'S
-One was fed a diet low in BCAA's
-One was given a controlled diet of other foods
The group given the BCAA enriched diet lost 17.3% more on average than the other groups. Whats more, the fat loss was concentrated in the abdominal area.

Studies like the above, are begining to show that several key amino acids promote muscle gains and fat loss. Actually amino acids and weight loss should go hand in hand.

While diets promote food absteinance, these methods are usually ineffective and unsustainable. With diets you can actually lose muscle and retain fat, while amino acids promote muscle gains and fat loss.

Whats more, amino acids seriously curb the desires for high glycemic sugar foods like sweets, chips, and the like.

I put this to the test. I selected these 3 noted Amino acids for weight loss - the BCAAs (branched chain amino acids), L-glutamine and L-arginine. I eat a relatively stable, greater than 50% raw food, protein enriched, diet. I exercise 5 times weekly using weights and the trampoline for aerobics.

Nothing changed except the addition of the 3 specific Amino acids for weight loss noted above.
