It seems that metabolism could be measured in one step. When you wake up, your rest underarmpit temperature should be 97.8F or 36.5C. Anything lower shows a slow metabolism.
Anything that raises your body temperature increases your metabolism - including exercise, obviously. Scottish showers help as well.
Some herbs can do that too, but only for a short time. But given the benefic effect of spices of any kind, even 50 calories minus per day would be good. Even if they don't boost up your metabolism to high levels, these herbs have other benefits - they help your body digest better, cut or increase appetite, change the taste of a blend dish.
The body needs a small shock here and there to burn faster. Sprinting, showers, one day of liquids/week are all interesting measures.
Losing weight and staying healthy is easy, when you care. Forget famishing yourself: there are other ways.
Since I was 15 I've been obsessed with healthy diets, losing weight, sports, and everything included. I read books after books and I collected articles on staying fit and healthy. Even now, 12 years later, I am still reading everything I find on the subject.
I will share with you, step by step, everything I know. Free advice.
