Appetite Control: 3 Ways to Boost Weight Loss - Thomas DeLauer.

5-HTTP:
- 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a chemical that the body makes from tryptophan (an essential amino acid that you get from food).

5-HTP and Appetite

- Serotonin is a nervous system messenger, also called a neurotransmitter, with many functions in the body. One of those functions is that it can help to reduce appetite.

- In the body, 5–HTP crosses the blood–brain barrier and increases central nervous system (CNS) production of serotonin.

- Once the serotonin is produced it reduces or stops the hunger pangs. Two types of serotonin receptors (called 5–HT1B and 5–HT2C) have been specifically recognized as promoting serotonin–induced satiety. (1)

Coffee:
Chlorogenic Acid (CGA)

- Chlorogenic acid is a polyphenol antioxidant found in coffee.

- This antioxidant reduces blood glucose and insulin levels after a meal

Case Studies:

- In one study, it was found that CGA acts to suppress body weight gain and visceral fat accumulation in mice.

- Reported that CGA is possibly effective against weight gain and fat accumulation by inhibition of fat absorption and activation of fat metabolism in the liver

- Oral administration of CGA (30 and 60 mg/kg/day) for 14 days dramatically reduced the level of hepatic TG in mice

- Another study investigated the effect of CGA on altering body fat in high-fat diet (37% calories from fat) induced obese mice

- Found that CGA significantly lowered body weight, visceral fat mass and plasma leptin, and insulin levels compared to the high-fat control group

- Also lowered lowered triglyceride and cholesterol concentrations.

- Chlorogenic acid significantly inhibited fatty acid synthase, while they increased fatty acid beta-oxidation

- Results suggested that CGA can improve body weight, lipid metabolism, and obesity-related hormones levels (5)


Omega 3’s:
- Omega-3 fatty acids may suppress appetite because of their effect on leptin levels.

- Leptin is a hormone that affects appetite. When omega-3 fatty acid consumption is increased, leptin decreases, found a 2002 study published by the American Journal of Physiology

- Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids because your body can't make them. You have to get them from food or supplements.

+Thomas DeLauer thanks man bcuz of u i started eating meat again i was vegan for like almost 2 years and felt horrible most of the time

@Thomas DeLauer What daily dose would you recommend for a 5 HTP supplement? I've seen multiple sources online list different dosages such as:
"start with 100 mg/day, and after 2 weeks, increase to 200 mg/day if you don't notice any results"
"Take 8 mg/day/kg body weight"
"Don't exceed 300 mg/day to avoid serotonin syndrome"

Do you know of a more definitive source that gives a specific daily dosage with reasonable explanation as to why that dose should be used? If so, could you provide a link? Thank you!

Just on my second video on your channel. And already in love with it. Clear explanations, great audio and visuals. Love it! Great job bro!

[lopezil]

I take omega 3 and my Husband and I have only been on keto diet for 6 days and I already do not have an appetite anymore, He still does, so I told him to start taking Omega 3 like I do.... I hope it works for him too.

I have been on keto for two weeks and have totally lost my appetite. I have to force myself to eat and I am barely breaking 900 calories, although I am trying to stay within my 75/20/5 ratio. Is this healthy? Will my appetite ever return?

What is the difference between Leptin and Ghrelin? I though that Ghrelin promotes hunger and Leptin is like a Satiety Hormone? Therefore if Leptin Levels are high you are not that hungry? or am I mixing something?

[judyanne]

When should you take the fish oil to reduce appetite? How much fish oil?

[kyledalke]

Hello I chew on a lot of gum to help keep my mind from thinking of food. My question is does gum wreck your fast?

[DisneyAPforLife]

5 htp is consumed in what way? Can you make a video on affordable snacks/meals

[rudylabsilica]

Coffee doesn’t seem to work on suppressing my appetite but lately, I’ve been drinking green tea with honey instead. And that seems to work for me. Btw, would honey spike my insulin level?

[andyhammer]

whats your workout routine? you should do a full video on that

[walkerskii]

thanks for making the video. ok, so now what, do I just jot down the names of the supplements you mentioned, go out & buy them / ingest them to curb my appetite - is it that simple?

[___carlo___]

Hi. Just wondering if instant black coffee would be fine? Do you recommend adding a little bit of milk?

Cheers

Id give anything to have a 10 minute conversation with Thomas

[BossLeeny]

Thanks! I of course already drink coffee, and use Omega 3s off & on, but now I'll use them more regularly and ADD 5-HBT! Thanks for info Bro!!!

[Shawn-hsqk]

might of missed it, what's the best way to increase 5-HTP?

[joemores]

thx dude got me 2 subscribe with that one

[yonishalev]

First of all, great vids (all of them). Very informative.
Second, isn't leptin the hormone produced when you are full? Meaning you wan't to increase leptin levels to cause the brain to think your full (i think you've talked about this in a video regarding eating almonds and that they increase leptin levels and in so decreasing the appetite)?

Ok but what kind of food contains this. Coffee is eazy to find :) omega 3 also but how about the rest? I'm trying to do intermittent fasting but the feeling of hunger does not disseapare :( I can stay few days like that but in fasting periods i feel supr hungry sometimes :( I do incrazed fat and fiber in nutrition, drinki water also sparkling, nothing helps I wonna kill for food sometimes :)
