Resveratrol Side Effects, Benefits, Dosage, and Research Information - My Resveratrol Experience

Appetite and Resveratrol: Calories in Vs. Calories out

I've been paying particular attention to how my resveratrol intake has affected my appetite.  Now it is said that resveratrol has the ability to mimic the results of calorie restriction, a dietary technique used in relation to longevity.  Personally I have noticed a few things in regards to my appetite:

First, on my workout days I find my appetite has continued to increase over the past two months.  Now for those who don't know my history I had a BMR of 1100 two months ago.  This basically meant that my body at rest needed 1100 calories of intake to maintian my current physiology.  This test was done prior to my new workout regimen and prior to any consumption of trans-resveratrol.  I've lost approximately 6 pounds since beginning my new training routine and on days I workout I have found myself increasingly hungry.  Even with the increase I can only imagine how much greater it would be had I not been taking resveratrol.  Certainly there is also the possibility of a placebo effect as well.

My Resveratrol Experience Update!

Well, it's been a little over a week since my last update regarding my own experiences with taking trans-resveratrol.  I've settled into a habit of taking 500mg daily between 1:00-1:30pm.  For me just getting into a set regimen of taking a capsule every day is not that easy.  We all have busy lives so making sure I take a pill every day at a certain time isn't always on the top of my mind.  However, that said, I am certainly getting use to the routine along with my physical training every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. 

Prior to getting into how I am feeling I thought it would be important to discuss what a "placebo effect" is.  There are various meanings of the "placebo effect" but I find it best described as the mental aspects of a treatment or medicinal program.  So if you have preconceived notions of what a drug/supplement  can do for you it may be likely that just knowing these things can cause you to feel like they were occurring.  Oh, how our mind plays tricks on us...
