  Isoleucine found on sources like eggs, dairy, soy protein and meats.

    It’s not mentioned in the OP article, but in another on the same study.

    Very quickly, we saw the mice on the reduced isoleucine diet lose adiposity — their bodies got leaner, they lost fat,” says Lamming, while the bodies of the mice on the low-amino-acid diet also got leaner to start, but eventually regained weight and fat.

    Reducing those foods would most likely reduce all amino acids, so wouldn’t work.

      Maybe just focus on limiting food highest in Isoleucine.

  Won’t work on humans though!
