What Is Metabolic Cooking?
Metabolic Cooking presents the nutritional value of within the wider context of “Metabolic Thermo-Charge.” What this effectively means is “The metabolic powers certain foods have to make your body burn more body fat.” The science behind it lies in how many calories your body is going to burn simply by breaking down the nutrients when you consume them. This effect can also be known as the thermic effect of foods, or TEF. For instance, the body expends when metabolizing proteins, so a high protein food would have a higher thermogenic effect.
Within its pages, Metabolic Cooking reveals that clinical research shows TEF is enhanced by aerobic endurance exercise of sufficient duration and intensity. So, whilst certain foods may already be natural fat burners, if you accompany eating them with certain exercises you will accelerate the process.
Ruel and Losier advocate eating specific foods which contain a minimum of 15 g protein in any given recipe. This is primarily due to the special place protein occupies within the program; since it is central to the idea of eating food which has a high thermogenic effect.
