Boosting your metabolism is big business.
From supplements and foods to exercise and even meditation, everybody is pushing the idea that they can help you boost your metabolism.
You will see claims like Boosts Metabolism by 78% or 115%, and while this sounds promising, have you ever stopped to think about what this would actually look like?
An elevated metabolic rate is a physiological phenomenon. It does happen, but it also has clear and definite symptoms.
Take exercise as an example.
Whether you are running or performing an intense weight training workout, your metabolic rate is elevated during the time you are exercising. Because of this, you display all the CLASSIC SYMPTOMS of an elevated metabolic rate:
You are tired and sweating. Your heart rate is elevated as is your breathing rate. You are experiencing an increased level of thirst.

I often get asked “How much weight will I lose with Eat Stop Eat?”
For the record, I answer this question in the FAQ’s at the end of Eat Stop Eat, however it is an important question that I am also going to answer on this blog…
With the Eat Stop Eat lifestyle, you should be able to lose weight at a rate of 1-2 pounds per week.
I know there are lots of reports of people losing 3, 4 even 7 pounds a week with Eat Stop Eat, but these are people are anomalies…

I just read a very interesting article on nutraingredients.com titled “Unilever drops Hoodia“

One of the best things about Eat Stop Eat is that it allows you to really take control of how you eat.
After all, once you have gone without food for 24 hours a couple of times, you really start to get a feel for the real reasons behind why you eat, what you eat and when you eat.
Often times, hunger isn’t one of these reasons. Habit and emotional connection are usually the culprit.
If you take this new found wisdom, you can create a big difference in the way you eat by making SMALL changes.
Take coffee for instance.
One of the first things I noticed when I started fasting was how much I loved my coffee with cream and sugar (I put up with black coffee during my fasts, but I DEFINITELY don’t like it)
Fasting also made me realize just how often I craved coffee…typically drinking 2-3 cups per day.
I realized very […]

There may be a million ways to roast a chicken, but there is one in particular that truly stands head and shoulders above the rest: the Zuni chicken. This method was originally developed by Judy Rodgers for her San Francisco restaurant The Zuni Cafe, but it has since traveled far beyond that kitchen. It involves salting the chicken days ahead and flipping it a few times during roasting, but the extra TLC is worth it. Simply put, this makes one of the best roast chickens ever.
