Alu: Great advice, there is a science to eating the right foods to increase your metabolism. I have been reading a lot about it. And have tried some different things. I can't really say what is working, but something is. These types of foods make your resting calorie burn rate work faster. Thanks for the site.

At my Weight Watchers Meeting the other night, the leader pointed out that a pound of fat weighs one pound, and a pound of muscle also weighs one pound. It is just that muscle is more dense. More muscle helps to burn fat faster. Once you start to build muscle, the fat will start to come off easier. It is the getting going that can be tough. But then that's what we are here for.
