Hey there all,
Names Harry - First-time thread-er but long time reader...god I enjoy this stuff and would have been posting much much earlier were it not for my two mad kiddies! - little spare time to put it mildly!
Anyway - for now - I have been doing a lot of reading lately on Tryptophan and especially looking at a possible idea I have of a way to facilitate very fast fat loss whilst also maintaining a very high metabolic rate at the same time - essentially a PUFA and tryptophan depletion type thing.
Anyway - came across this study - Error - Cookies Turned Off
And wondering what yall make of it - considering it seems to say that tryptophan increases weight loss at least - true - the participants were all on a very low-calorie PSMF diet and so presumably would have lost tons of weight whatever they did......but I just can't for the life of me imagine how tryptophan - associated with fat gain through serotonin increase, could help weight loss efforts.
I had the thought that perhaps they were just converting it to niacin instead-but surely that doesn't make sense considering their metabolic rates were probably pretty terrible to begin with - the only other possibility is that they were perhaps getting all their calories from casein or something else with very high calcium levels....but yes....simply unsure.
Any ideas???
Thanks
