How To Boost Your Metabolism & Lose Weight Faster

Introduction: Metabolism. There isnt perhaps a more frequently used word in the weight loss (and weight gain) vocabulary than this. Indeed, its not uncommon to overhear people talking about their struggles or triumphs over the holiday bulge or love handles in terms of whether their metabolism is working, or not. Doctors, too, often refer to metabolism when they try and explain why starvation and water-loss diets arent scientifically of medically responsible; since, alas, they do not influence or take into account metabolism (theres that word again!).So, for all of the usage that this rather daunting and biologically-charged word enjoys in our world, youd comfortably assume that people understand it, right? Or, at least, they have some fundamental information when it comes to how to speed up their metabolism, right? Wrong! Towards Understanding Metabolism Regrettably, many people simply dont understand the concept of metabolism and metabolic change. This, equally as regrettably, is hardly their fault. There is so much information floating around out there, much of it over the net or through a friend of a friend who has a personal trainer, that theres bound to be some confusion and conflicting messages. Furthermore, many people (quite understandably) mistake their own weight gain and loss episodes as a matter of metabolic change. Sometimes this is true, and sometimes it isnt. For example, as we will discuss in this book, there are scientific ways to increase the rate of metabolic change, and thus enable the body to burn more calories. Eating certain foods more frequently is one way to do this (again, we look closer at these in this book). Yet another way to visibly lose weight at least on a perceived, temporary level is to sit in a steam room for a few hours. Whereas the former method (eating the right foods) is a real, proven weight loss method through increased metabolic change, the latter method (the steam room) is just temporary because
