Cool Slideshows!Leucine and Weight Loss
An essential amino acid, Leucine, has been suggested by researchers to be the key to losing fat while maintaining lean body muscle. Protein-rich foods high in Leucine help maintain muscle mass while reducing body fat during weight loss. Studies have shown that Leucine spares muscle proteins during weight loss, so you only lose the fat without losing the muscle.
Leucine is an essential amino acid found in proteins. It is suggested that Leucine plays a part in maintaining lean body muscle by initiating protein synthesis. Research shows that Leucine can head straight to your muscles and initiate protein synthesis used for muscle building. Muscle buiding can counteract muscle breakdown which occurs from eating fewer calories. By keeping muscle, you lose inches from burning fat. Muscle burns more calories than fat, thus, you keep you metabolism up!
Leucine helps preserve lean muscle, supplys your body with energy when exercising, preserves glucose stored in muscle tissue used to power muscular contraction, and helps burn visceral fat, which is located in the deepest layers of the body and is the least responsive to dieting and exercise.
Exercise makes your body work harder so that it needs more energy. To get that energy, your body starts using more of the glucose in your blood. The more active you are, the more glucose your body uses. Leucine is broken down and converted into glucose easily. Increased glucose supplies prevent the body's cannibalization of muscle for energy during exercise.
Lose Inches with Leucine
On most diets, you lose muscle plus fat. While losing muscle, you also lose the ability to burn calories. After dieting, if you decide to go back to eating normally, you might gain all of the weight back as fat, plus some. Leucine is an essential amino acid that helps you keep your lean body muscle while you lose weight from fat. Since muscle takes up less space than fat, you lose inches!

I would love to meet anyone that is interested in losing fat and keeping muscle, and living healthier lives!
Interesting facts about leucine. It's an essential amino acid that plays a special roll in weight loss by preventing the loss of muscle mass while the body if burning fat. Leucine helps with the regulation of blood-sugar levels, the growth and repair of muscle tissue (such as bones, skin and muscles), growth hormone production, wound healing as well as energy regulation. It can assist to prevent the breakdown of muscle proteins that sometimes occur after trauma or severe stress. It may also be beneficial for individuals with phenylketonuria - a condition in which the body cannot metabolize the amino acid phenylalanine.
