Calorie restriction
May have just gotten easier. Something called "pinolenic acid" appears to cut calorie consumption by overweight people by 36%. Don't know if that applies to normal weight people, but hopefully it does. See the article on LEF here. Pinolenic acid is found in pine nuts, although it is not mentioned how many you have to eat to get the 3 grams of pinolenic acid from the study. I also notice that the 36% figure mentioned is “prospective food intake”. In a more recent study, this translated to about a 10% decrease in body weight for low calorie diet with pinolenic acid, and a 14% decrease for very low calorie.
