Can You Boost Your Metabolism Now?

I’m delighted to have written a guest post for Rhitirition on boosting metabolism fact or fiction, discussing the difference between metabolic rate and metabolism and why it matters. I’m often asked about boosting metabolism and I’m sure you have seen the headlines about how to boost your metabolism to achieve quick weight loss. But what are the facts and what is fiction, and can you boost your metabolism to lose weight? Is a slow metabolism the reason behind weight gain?

So if you have the following questions, this article is for you:
