That’s fascinating, because you would think that it would be the complete opposite. Vitamin D should be made a part of a daily diet regardless though.

thanks for the post.
hey Jesse, i used to have soy not milk in my fridge as well until i heard that so many diet experts do not recommend soy, so i decided to go back to milk. i’m not sure yet about it but decided to let go soy anyway.

That article is talking about supplements, not whole foods.

I don’t know of any foods that are adequate sources of DLPA or 5-HTP, but Leucine is a branch chained amino acid that is found in any protein food.

Hey,

You’ve got a nice list of “things that suppress appetite” in one of your articles. Here:

Appetite Control Top Five

1. Fiber. In various forms, fiber is an excellent appetite suppressant. Some fibers increase CCK.
2. DLPA. A combination of both the L- and D- forms of phenylalanine, DLPA increases both CCK and norepinephrine. Take it on an empty stomach.
3. 5-HTP. Increases serotonin levels, which decreases appetite.
4. Green Tea. In addition to being a fantastic antioxidant, green tea positively affects leptin signaling.
5. Long Chain Fatty Acids. The longer chain fatty acids release more CCK and GLP-1.
6. Leucine. This amino acid signals the brain, via mTOR, that ample protein is available.

So, where do I get these things? What foods contain Leucine, or DLPA, or 5-HTP?

Thanks!
