Fire Up Your Metabolism

The most commonly asked question in America today might just be, What really is the best way to lose weight forever without feeling tired, hungry, or defeated by cravings? Lyssie and Tammy Lakatos's answer: Fire up your metabolism. Taking advantage of their identical DNA, the Lakatoses embarked on a twin study (they flipped a coin to determine who'd be the guinea pig) to discover the best way to increase metabolic rate without swearing off the food that they--and their clients--love. Their findings? Eat carbohydrates, but choose them carefully Overloading on protein-rich foods--even lean ones--will cause fatigue Some fats bog you down, others rev you up Eat breakfast as soon as you wake up to knock your body out of starvation mode Dehydration slows metabolism Cardiovascular exercise is good; muscle building is better With an eating plan, tips for every lifestyle, and sidebars that explain conundrums such as why Peanut M&Ms are a better snack than Twizzlers and why two percent milk is more like whole milk than skim, Fire Up Your Metabolism will help Americans rewire their metabolism so that they never have to diet again.
