An excellent summer diet special:
1. Miso soup diet (never heard of it): this includes a paste made from rice which gets added to Bonita fish flakes and sea weed. It creates the new taste Unami and a UK Prof explained that it was the fish and seaweed creating the Unami (sorry forgot the chemicals) that trigger a brain response for satiety - thus the recipient eats less and the weight comes off. My thoughts - too specialised unless just a component in a lifestyle diet
2. Wine Vinegar diet: they carried out a poor test. Nutritionist explained the acetic acid helps reduce BG so the test was eating a bowl of chips after overnight fasting then the same again with 30g of Sarson's chip shop vinegar.....at least it was funny results were mixed, some BG up and some down.
3. Is there such a thing as a calorie negative food?: the first scientific test ever carried out in a bariatric chamber with this UK Prof. In short celery was proved to use more body calories in the digestion of any given portion and a liquidised portion, used even more Cs. From my recollection, the liquid version used around 100C more than the amount within the celery. Amazing! Again just useful as part of lifestyle diet
4. Bloomin Poo Transplant: yep take the best guy microbes extracted from poo donators and feed it into the gut of the recipient... All for the pleasure of parting with £4,000. Flippin hec... count me out. Then a serious Prof talked about how important we are now discovering the gut micro biome is. I agree. Supplementing with quality Probiotics is on my regime list
Interesting stuff
