Stephanie,

The reason you can't find Sear's research is because he has none. As

a sports nutritionist, I hear a lot of hype in athletes as well as at gym's

were I have also worked as a personal trainer. Following an

unsuccessful Medline search, I called Sear's lab to ask for his science

as well as any articles he felt would justify his claim. He had nothing to

offer. In addition,, Cr does accelerate uptake of glucose by the cell but

once inside the enzyme system remain at the same level. The result, no

acceleration of metabolism. There are many hypes in the world of

weight loss. As a dietitian and exercise physiologist I have seen my

share.
