A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that overweight adults who followed a program of modest caloric restriction achieved significant reductions in body fat mass in just six months, while improving the ability of cells to normally utilize insulin, i.e., improving sensitivity to insulin.(30-32)

Hunger is the factor that often precludes most people from even considering a low-calorie diet. The remarkable news is that pinolenic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid found in Korean pine, has been shown to suppress appetite dramatically without causing any stimulatory effect.*

Pinolenic acid stimulates the release of two of the most powerful hunger-suppressing hormones in the body: CCK (chole-cystokinin) and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1).(33) This not only helps the body digest fats better, but also sends a feeling of satiety or “fullness” to the brain, decreasing the desire to eat and helping to control excessive calorie intake.* People taking this oil had an increase in the satiety hormones CCK and GLP-1 in the bloodstreams and a reduced desire to eat by 36%.(33)
