Whether you're looking to shed a few pounds or start a lifelong change, altering the way your body burns calories may be beneficial. New diets emerge based on the latest research. One of the latest diet trends is the metabolic diet, which aims to change how your body metabolizes food.
The term "metabolic diet" includes diets such as the:
fast metabolism diet
high metabolism diet
metabolism miracle
MD diet factor
These diets are essentially a new spin on the Atkins diet, which emphasizes reducing your carbohydrate intake to lose weight. The big difference is that not all carbs are equal in the metabolic diet. Many versions of the metabolic diet include complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains, oats, and brown rice, but exclude refined carbs, such as processed breads, flours, and sugars.
One component of these diets is to eat small meals throughout the day — typically three regular meals with two snacks — to help kick-start your metabolism. Frequent, small meals may help you manage hunger better throughout the day.
