Cutting two amino acids from the diet boosts calorie burn by 20% in mice - which foods contain them?
Weight loss has long revolved around heavy workouts and dietary restriction. But scientists are now exploring how tweaking the nutritional profile of a diet, as opposed to eating less, can offer the same results.In a recent development, researchers at the University of Southern Denmark have discovered that mice fed a diet low in two specific amino acids – methionine and cysteine – experienced a remarkable 20 per cent boost in their heat-generati…
Scientists discover diet that tricks the body into burning fat without exercise
Researchers found that cutting two amino acids common in animal protein—methionine and cysteine—made mice burn significantly more energy. The boost in heat production was nearly as powerful as constant exposure to cold temperatures. The mice didn’t eat less or exercise more; they simply generated more heat in their beige fat. The discovery hints that diet alone might activate the body’s calorie-burning machinery.
Researchers at the University of Southern Denmark have discovered: A diet that increases fat burning without exercise • According to the researchers, reducing two amino acids common in animal protein caused mice to burn more calories • The effect was comparable to exposure to 5 degrees of cold • However, the researchers caution: The findings were tested only in mice
