There is now a way you can boost your metabolism without changing how much you eat. It's true. You can rev up your metabolic engine, feel more satisfied when you eat, burn more calories, and lose more body fat -- all without even changing how MUCH you eat.
Recent studies show how three key changes can help you accomplish your weight loss goals without changing the amount you eat. They are:
2. Meal composition -– Specifically the role of protein in controlling appetite centers in your brain, increasing caloric burning, and reducing belly fat and weight.
3. Drinking green tea -- Which turns up your fat burning thermostat.
All three of these things have one very important concept in common: thermogenesis -- the creation of heat in your body. When you increase the thermogenesis in your body you literally turn up your metabolic fire.
Thermogenesis has nothing to do with the amount of calories you consume. It's controlled by a number of different interconnected control systems in the body designed to keep us healthy. By optimizing these systems you can turn up your metabolic fire without turning down the foods you love.
Today I will explain how the three key factors outlined above affect thermogenesis and give you a 5-step plan to increase your metabolic fire. Let's start by taking a look at the first thing that increases thermogenesis -- when and how often you eat.
Resveratrol—Eat Whatever and Live to 120?Posted on August 18th, 2009 |

"Live to 120 years old by eating as much as you want and drinking lots of red wine!"
That's the intriguing finding of a recent study from Harvard researcher David Sinclair and his group.
The only catch is that you'd have to drink about 1,500 bottles of wine a day to get those results. Of course, that would kill you pretty quickly -- before you'd have a chance to reach age 120! Still, those are important findings ...
In fact, Dr. Sinclair thinks they're so important that he started a company to produce a pharmaceutical derivative of the active compound in red wine, resveratrol.
Although his findings have merit, I think he is misguided in his attempt to find a "magic pill" that will allow you to eat whatever you want and live forever. The body is much more complex than that.
This week, I'm going to explain why a magic pill WON'T work -- and provide ten tips that really WILL help you live longer and prevent all the diseases of aging.

3 simple steps to burn fat without changing how much you eat...Posted on October 25th, 2006 |

Wouldn't it be great if you could boost your metabolism without even changing how much you eat?
Well, you can!
It's true.
You can rev up your metabolic engine, feel more satisfied when you eat, burn more calories, and lose more body fat -- all without even changing how MUCH you eat.
Recent studies show how three key things -- all of which I discuss in UltraMetabolism - can accomplish these goals.
The first is meal timing and meal frequency; in other words, when you should eat and how often.
The second is the role of protein in controlling appetite centers in the brain, increasing caloric burning, and reducing belly fat and weight.
The third is the role of green tea in turning up your fat burning thermostat.
What do all these things have in common?
They all stem from one central idea: an increase in thermogenesis, the creation of heat in the body -- literally, turning up your metabolic fire.
