[CKD] Nicotine Gum/Fat Loss...?

[Zeus]

I've read a few articles/posts regarding the use of 'Nicotine Gum' in correlation to fat-loss. I've read that it (nicotine) helps speed up the metabolism, suppress appetite, maintain 'normal' leptin levels, and promote vascularity. What are your thoughts on this (anyone)? It seems like a very interesting concept (which I may pursue). The only 'downfall' that I can think of is the 'addiction-factor' of nicotine. I don't want to be constantly craving nicotine gum... any thoughts?

Interesting. Are any of the dangers associated with smoking and chewing tobacco inherent with the nic gum?

-I wouldn't think so. The only side-effect I could think of (as I mentioned earlier) is getting addicted to the stuff.

Hm. Even more interesting :) So the danger isn't in the nicotine at all, just the way it is passed to the body.
Sheesh, I'll try anything.

Hey, Zeus ...

Stop being so cheap and buy a copy of METABOLISM. I have a good section on "dirty tricks" in there, and Nicotine patches for fat loss is covered in there. LOL.

Just breaking your stones buddy. Nicotine has a host of fat loss properties, and while I do not condone its use, I have seen it work.

Since this is in a "grey area", I won't get further into it, but the addiction factor is right. Also, the depletion of Vitamin C as well as otehr antioxidants should be taken into consideration.

If you want more, e-mail me or buy the book. ;) That's a joke in case I wasn't clear.

Ok, ok, I'll shell out the $15 for it, heheh. Hopefully there are more 'dirty' (and I mean MUDDY) 'tricks' in there. I'll order it today, happy? :D

I was just ripping on you bro. LOL. In that section, I cover transderal nicotine as well as topical yohimbine for possibel spot reduction.

Drop me an e-mail. I have to talk to you anyway.

E-mail sent.
