SUGAR FREE RED BULL (OR, FOR THOSE IN THE UK A CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE TESCO DIET KICK)

[Sugar Free Red Bull – or Taurine Supplements

There have been a lot of anecdotes that sugar free red bull has helped people to lose weight.... why would this be? It contains quite a hefty allowance of B-Vitamins which helps with energy but also 500mg of taurine per can. Taurine is an insulin sensitiser. If you can tolerate artificial sweeteners (I can) then adding a sugar free red bull daily or even twice daily may help you with your weight loss efforts

Taurine and weight loss

For years L-carnitine has been promoted as a beneficial weight
loss supplement. While anecdotal evidence and research support the efficacy of L-carnitine for this purpose, the focus on L-carnitine has caused some to overlook Taurine as a supplement for weight loss.

Japanese researchers conducted a study on thirty healthy collegeage
students, using double-blind randomization to assign the students to a control or placebo group. Prior to the study researchers measured TC, HDL-C and plasma glucose levels in all subjects. Both groups had similar readings.
Subjects in the control group were then administered 3g of taurine
per day for a period of seven weeks.

Significant changes in triacylglycerol and total cholesterol levels were noted in the control group, as well as significant losses of fat body mass.

This suggests that taurine administration has a marked effect on lipid metabolism, and can therefore be beneficial to persons looking to lose body fat.
