(Food-Beverage-News.Com, November 21, 2012 ) San Francisco, CA -- The Raspberry Ketone Diet is gaining in popularity, with Central Texans among those claiming it is a highly effective weight loss regimen.
"I've just heard that raspberry is one of the natural fat burning foods that you can have," said Alissa Leenher, at the hike and bike trails in downtown Austin.
"Everybody is looking for some help in losing weight, especially belly fat, and that's what it's supposed to be focusing on," said Thomas Figulski.
The natural compound is becoming increasingly known as a highly effective fat burner, with studies indicating it spikes levels of adiponectin, a protein hormone with a correlation to body fat percentage.
"Adiponectin is our friend and we want that to be as high as possible," explained Dr. George Rodgers, a cardiologist with Seton Heart Institute. "Unfortunately as we gain weight, as our fat cells become fatter so to speak or plumper, Adiponectin levels go down."
The more adiponectin in our systems, the better, said Dr. Rodgers. It turns out that raspberry ketones are among the more effective means to accomplish that. "It seems to help in terms of enhancing our body to burn that fuel that's trapped within our fat cells and enhance that.”
Dr. Rodgers, however, warns that raspberry ketones alone are not enough to help a person reduce his or her body fat percentage. "If you think by taking it daily (and then) drinking beers and eating Buffalo wings in front of the television is going to make you lose weight, you are mistaken," he said.
"People coming in, they expect this magic pill or powder, and that's just not the realistic part of it,” said Charlie Hartwig, who owns Total Nutrition. He said he asks his customers questions about their lifestyles when they are shopping for supplements in his store.
“You've got to include the exercise. You've got to include the diet to see the results. We ask them what their goal is. We ask them what expectations they have. Are they working out, are they dieting, are they exercising? These things will actually contribute to us making a plan for them rather than just walking them over to raspberry ketones and tell them to get this product today."
When selecting a raspberry ketone product, look for a 100% pure extract with no added ingredients, fillers, or binders, say doctors and nutrition experts. Other considerations are whether it is real or synthetic, and whether it provides the correct dosage per serving.
"I've seen some results to it," said James Prestegard, another Central Texan enjoying Austin’s hike and bike trails recently. "I've lost a couple of pounds and it's just something you have to keep at, plus your working out and your food intake, so I think it does help out.”
"I feel like I've lost a little bit of the belly fat," said Dallas Heenan. "The weight is still there, but this is going down."
