The Resveratrol Diet

Recent studies say that resveratrol may counter diabetes and insulin resistance, two well-known culprits of obesity.

Some studies have recently reported that the supplement resveratrol, most commonly found in red grapes and wine, aids in preventing and treating obesity. In fact, consuming a full wine bottle’s worth of resveratrol reportedly has the same effect as being on a reduced calorie diet. Of course the calories in wine offset that particular effect. =)

Let’s examine how and why we can use resveratrol to help us lose weight.

Resveratrol Effects Proven In Studies

In laboratory experiments, mammals that had been given higher doses of resveratrol turned into the equivalent of a human marathon athlete. Despite being fed a high calorie diet, those mammals did not gain weight. They also experienced a slower aging process.

Resveratrol has the same positive effects on humans as well. Those weight loss effects are also partially attributed to suppressing metabolites of estrogen. The same estrogen that is directly linked to body fat retention and the metabolism of lean body mass (muscle).

Furthermore, with estrogen suppressed we are more likely to experience muscle growth and an increased libido. Those extra 10 pounds of fat will be shed in no time, and your body will be harder and leaner than ever before.
