There is so much misleading and conflicting information about your metabolism, most people just give up.  Advice ranges from taking ice-baths to drinking green-tea, or grapefruit juice, or ingesting hundreds of dollars of iffy supplements.  Middle-age "spread" is prevalent, but what you can do about it seems to be a mystery."Fast Metabolism," is a quick and easy read that explains exactly how your metabolism works, and the steps you can take to increase it. Increasing your metabolism will give you more energy and help you maintain, and even lose weight.For me, one of the most interesting parts of the book was the information on the role your liver plays. This was all new information to me and I had a few "ah ha" moments.There is no one-size-fits-all prescription in this book. Rather, there are dozens of easy-to-implement tips.  Gabby Roles includes lists of the types of foods you should choose from, and she discusses the easiest types of exercises that will make the fastest difference.  She also talks about your lifestyle and the importance of reducing stress and getting enough sleep.  Rather than two-minute miracles Roles talks about holistic lifestyle changes.Though some of the pieces of information may not be new, what I like about this book is that it provides a comprehensive overview of ALL the factors affecting your metabolism. You can choose to change one thing at a time ... or go all out and make some massive changes.  Whichever route you choose, you will find yourself living a healthier lifestyle with a ramped up metabolism!
