Metabolic cooking
1. METABOLIC COOKINGย
We sometimes look at our friend or relative and think โWowโฆ how can he/she eat so much
food and not get fat at all!!โ Well, the answer is very simple: Metabolism.
In this easy-to-follow instructable Iโm gonna show you how you can speed-up your metabolism
(and even lose some weight in the process) with some very basic guidelines and simple steps,
just by eating and drinking what you always have been, not by some miracle diets or dangerous
experimental procedures or drugs.
If you follow the steps and guidelines of this instructable, youโll get / be able to:
1. Eat large amounts of food and not get fat at all.
2. Lose some weight.
3. Less laziness.
2. 4. Less prone to get sick.
5. Healthier and more efficient body.
6. A good-looking aesthetic body.
Iโm also gonna clarify some myths about food, weight-loss and exercise related stuff.
NOTE: I am not gonna go very deep into nutrition, like complete diets or food programs.
Diets/food programs donโt work the same for everyone. If a particular diet worked for your friend,
chances are it wonโt work the same for you, everyone has a different body. Consult your
dietician for more info on this.
4. ย
Iโm going to begin explaining some of the very basics of our metabolism and how does it work.
5. Metabolism comes from the greek โmetabolรฉโ, wich means change, transformation, what cells
experiment in our body when they change from organic substances to energy, in order to fulfill
the vital functions of the body.
To put it simple, the metabolism is the speed with which the body converts food into energy, it
can do so quickly or slowly. When it happens quickly, it usually means no significant weight
increase, because everything we eat is processed quickly and doesnโt store nutrients as fat,
thus causing the weight and volume to stay steady.
In the other case, when the metabolism is slow, the nutrients exceed the normal requirements of
the body, so they go into storage โ as fat. The metabolism is a very complex process, but weโre
gonna keep it simple as to only focus on the fat reserves and how we can control them.
Now, we all know what calories are: A calory is a unit that measures how much energy a food
provides to the body. The more calories you eat, the more energy you put into the body, but you
need to provide the right amount or otherwise the excess energy goes into storage. The
measure of the rate at wich a given person burns energy in the form of calories at rest (ie, while
you sit and do nothing), is called Basal Metabolism.
6. The speed of the โbasal metabolismโ is regulated by a number of factors. To some extent, basal
metabolism is inherited, passed from parents to childs through genes, but sometimes health
problems can affect the basal metabolism and its efficacy (weโll talk about this ahead). This
doesnโt mean that you canโt change itโs speed, there are still many ways to accelerate it.
Ok, enough chatter, letโs get to work.

Step 2: Foodsย
7. ย
Myth #1. โPeople who eat a lot are fat.โ
Myth #2. โSkipping meals means less calories and more weight loss.โ
8. Thatโs stupid people saying stupid things. Knowledge is power, and Iโm gonna give you
knowledge about this, here are some facts for you to consider.
FACT #1: When you skip meals, youโre effectively telling your body that thereโs not much food
available, as a result the body enters โโsurvival modeโโ. This means that the metabolism slows
down to consume as less energy as possible, and a portion of the food you eat in survival
mode, automatically goes to reserve (fat).
FACT #2: Diets that starve you, or skipping meals on purpose, does gets you to lose weight,
BUT at that point any weight loss comes mostly from water and muscle, not fat.
โOkโฆ So how many meals?โ
9. People usually eat 3 times a day, 3 โbigโ meals that is, forcing the body and metabolism to
overwork those 3 times a day. What many people donโt know, is that we must eat at least 5
times a day.
Eating many times a day helps the metabolism to stay active a lot longer, instead of just 3 times
a day. Imagine youโre in a car and want to get to the movies. Whatโs the fastest way to get
there? You can drive at a medium/fast constant speed, or drive slowly, and occasionally press
the gas all the way to the bottom to give the car a rush, only to slow down again. The best way
to keep the engine working, consuming fuel, and to get to the movies fast, is to drive at a
constant speed. The same applies to the body. 5 small meals will keep the metabolism active,
and most importantly, you wonโt get hungry.
Eating 5 times a day, or eating every 2 or 4 hours, itโs your choice and depends on your body
and your likings, but itโs one of the most important rules to speed-up your metabolism.
By eating frequently you achieve the following:
1. Eating frequently prevents hunger pangs and curbs over eating.
10. 2. Eating more often keeps your metabolism working quickly so you burn calories more
efficiently.
3. Food is also absorbed more efficiently and quickly when we eat regularly.
โOk I hear you, I can eat 5 meals a day, but how much can I eat?โ
You need to know about portion control. Eating five times a day means you can eat enough to
satisfy you, but its important to know how much you can eat in relation to your body size and
there is a very easy way of doing this.
You can count calories, but letโs be frank who has the time or inclination to do this? The trick is
to use your hand. A portion should be the size of your fist or the size of your palm. A โโfistโโ of
steamed rice, a โโpalmโโ of fish, etcโฆ
11. โOkโฆ but, WHAT do I eat?โ
Avoid greasy/sugared foods, and keep in mind that your meals must contain 4 groups of food:
Cereals, Dairy, Protein, Fruits & Vegetables. The less fat a food contains, the more calories are
burn. This explains why some people can eat big amounts of food without gaining weight,
instead of eating small portions of pizza, chocolate bars, or hamburguers.
For example, how about for meal #3: Salmon, brown rice and vegetables? Or maybe a turkey
sandwich and vegetables? and for meal #4, some fruits with yoghurt? The combinations are
endless.
Your body burns more calories when digesting foods high in fiber and protein, thus speeding the
metabolism. And better yet, some foods like โraw vegetablesโ burn so much calories that they
produce a negative caloric effect. This means that if you eat a 20 calory carrot, your body will
burn 25 calories digesting it, making you burn 5 extra calories just for eating it.
12. Complex carbs (especially high fiber carbs like raw fruits, vegetables, and nuts) & Lean proteins
(like white meat, fish and eggs) are โhighly thermongenic foodsโ meaning every time you eat
complex carbs & lean proteins your body has to burn a lot of fat just to digest the protein and
carbs you eat.
People who drink 3 servings of dairy (milk, cheese or yogurt) a day can lose more weight on a
diet which do not. The secret seems to be the calcium in milk that can accelerate fat burning.
Myth #3. โSkip breakfast, it helps you lose weight.โ
The most important meal of the day is breakfast, through it the body gets the nutrients needed
to burn calories efficiently over 24 hours. Are you starving through out the entire day, feeling
anxious? You didnโt eat enough breakfast. Besides the 5-meals-a-day rule, a good and
balanced breakfast is a must, it helps you burn calories faster.
13. Breakfast helps you lose weight if you eat it less than 1 hour after waking up. Breakfast 2 hours
after waking up doesnโt work because you lose the effect of reducing appetite and speeding up
the metabolism.
Commercial juice has a lot of sugar and of course a sweet sugared bread doesnโt help much to
speed up the metabolism and lose weight. Eat lots of protein and fiber, say tuna for protein and
vegetables for fiber, but donโt forget the carbs, so 1 or 2 slices of wheat bread should do. โ(This
is just an example, you can eat more or less, depends on you.)
โOk, got any more tips?โ
Sure I do, here you go.
14. โ Eat slowly and chew well. You eat fast and you wonโt dissolve the food properly, giving large
chunks of unchewed food to your stomache, making it harder to digest wich will make your
metabolism slower as a result. Constipation is also a symptom of not chewing properly.
โ Proteins, carbs and fiber should be eaten together, while fruits are best absorbed alone.
โ Like โhotโ and spicy foods with lots of tabasco, curry and chile? Spicy foods cause higher
energy expenditure because they generate heat, which accelerates the combustion energy and
acts as a fat-burning agent during digestion. Just add a little pepper to your food and youโre
done. But donโt push it, too much spicy food is hard on the stomach.
โ Your last meal must be 2 or 3 hours before going to sleep. But a little yoghurt, protein bar or
glass of milk right before sleep keeps the insuline levels steady and the digestive motor going.
15. -Vary your food, the body will get used to eating the same things and reduce the speed of the
metabolism. Eat something greasy and high in sugar once in a while, just for the heck of it.

Step 3: Drinksย
ย
Myth #4. โYour body needs 2 liters/8 glasses of water everyday.โ
16. Mmm.. Yes and No.
In general, to remain healthy we need to take in enough water to replace the amount we lose
daily through excretion, perspiration, and other bodily functions, but that amount can vary widely
from person to person, based upon a variety of factors such as age, physical condition, activity
level, and climate.
Scientists say thereโs no clear health benefit to chugging or even sipping water all day. So
where does the standard advice of drinking eight glasses/2 liters each day come from? โโNobody
really knowsโโ says Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, a kidney expert at the University of Pennsylvania.
Now, some people say โIf you feel thirsty, drink; if you donโt feel thirsty, donโt drink unless you
want to.โ Thatโs like saying โIf you feel hungry, eat. Donโt feel hungry, donโt eatโ, but we already
know that in order to keep our body and metabolism fully functional and healthy we need to eat
5 times a day even if weโre not hungry, so why wait until weโre thirsty? Remember the old saying
โDig the well before youโre thirsty.โ
17. But like I said, everything in excess is bad for you, even water. Donโt over do it or your kidneys
will take the hit.
โOk, so how much water should I drink?โ
Depends on what you do. I excercise a lot, I also eat a lot, Iโm young and active, and live in a
warm-to-tropical area, so my water requirements are more than the average. I drink 2-2.5 liters
a day.
But for the average working person, somewhere between 1-2 liters is enough, thatโs 4 to 8
glasses a day.
18. A clinical research center in Berlin found that after you drink 17 ounces of water, your
metabolism increases fat burning by 30% within 10 minutes of taking water.
โGot it. Now, what to drink?โ
Water is recommended, but you can also drink natural juices, coffee, tea, etc. I donโt drink
soft-drinks like coke or other kind of soda because of their high sugar contents, but If you like
them, then be my guest. At least drink some natural water once in a while.
According to a study published by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, green tea helps
you burn between 35 and 43% more calories per day.
19. โCan I drink water when Iโm eating?โ
Of course. In fact, the food โclaimsโ for water, makes the consistency a lot softer for digestion.
But donโt get too excited, 1 or 2 glasses is fine, if you drink more, you will be making it harder for
the stomach to digest the food since water reduces the acidity of the stomach.
Sometimes the brain confuses the โthirstyโ signals with โhungryโ signals, so the next time you feel
hungry, have a drink.
โ Something thatโs also interesting:
20. Most of the โfactsโ and โclaimsโ of this lack-of-water seems to come from a book published by
Dr. Batmanghelidj, an Iranian-born physician who now lives in the U.S. He maintains that people
โneed to learn theyโre not sick, only thirstyโโ and that simply โdrinking more water โcures many
diseases. However, he arrived at his conclusions through reading, not research, and he claims
that his ideas represent a โโparadigm shiftโโ that required him to self-publish his book lest his
findings โbe suppressed.โ
Now, you need to know something. Since I started to go to the gym (November-2009), Iโve
drinked 2 liters of water everyday, sometimes even more (2.5 liters). Since that time, I havenโt
got sick, not one day. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe itโs the sum of all parts (Exercise, nutrituon
and water), maybe itโs just the water, just remember that nothing is impossible, and weโre a long
way to understanding everything in our world.

21. Step 4: Exerciseย
ย
Myth #4. โKilling yourself in the gym EVERYDAY is the best way to accelerate your metabolism
and lose weight.โ
If a person starts to exercise more, he/she will burn more calories not only by direct physical
activity, but the fact that he/she is fitter and more active will also speed up the personโs
metabolism. The basal metabolism is also influenced by body composition, people with more
muscle and less fat generally have a faster metabolic rate.
22. 1 pound of muscle burns 5-14 calories per day, so when you form/grow 5 pounds of muscle
your metabolism will burn extra 25-70 calories per day and lose 2 ยฝ to 7 pounds per year of
extra fat.
Despite the loss of 2 ยฝ to 7 pounds of fat is not a lot, when you grow five pounds of muscle โ
you will be 5 to 10 pounds slimmer because muscle takes up space occupied by fat.
โSo how much excercise should I do?โ
Now, about the myth. It is best to do a session of high intensity exercise at least 3 times a week,
and during the other days you can do low intensity exercise.
23. The more intense you exercise (weights for example), the more you will continue to burn
calories โafterโ your workout is over, keeping you with a higher fat-burning metabolism during
the day. Cardio excercises are a must too, do 20 to 40 minutes of eliptical, bicycle, etc.
This is for the โaverageโ working person, a person who doesnโt want to build muscle like a pro,
just stay in shape.
The reason why people get fatter by the passing of the years, is because the body tends to lose
muscle with the age, and thus the metabolism slows down.

Step 5: Other Factorsย
24. ย
Food, drinking and exercise are not the only factors that contribute to the metabolism equation.
Here are some diseases or disorders that can cause the metabolism to malfunction.
25. Hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism is caused by an overactive thyroid gland. This gland secretes
too much thyroxine, which speeds up the metabolism. It causes symptoms such as weight loss,
rapid heart rate, blood pressure, protruding eyes and swelling in the neck caused by
enlargement of the thyroid gland (goiter). This disease can be controlled by medication, surgery
or radiotherapy.
Hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is a thyroid gland absent or poorly reactive and usually the
result of a developmental problem or a disease that destroys the thyroid gland. This gland
secretes an insufficient amount of thyroxine, which slows the metabolism. When left untreated
hypothyroidism can cause brain and growth problems. Hypothyroidism slows body processes
and causes fatigue, decreased heart rate, excessive weight gain and constipation. The young
people that are diagnosed with this disorder can be treated with thyroid hormone administered
orally (by mouth) to having a normal concentration of this hormone in the body.
Inborn errors of metabolism. Some metabolic diseases are inherited. These diseases are known
as inborn errors of metabolism. Shortly after the birth of a baby, they do tests on many of these
metabolic diseases. Inborn errors of metabolism can sometimes cause serious problems if not
controlled through diet or medication from an early age.
26. If you eat properly and still have overweight or underweight problems, I would recommend to
check your thyroids, just in case. Also, for a proper working of the thyroid gland, the thyroid
gland needs no more than 70 micrograms/day of Iodine.
Natural sources of iodine include sea life, such as kelp and certain seafood, as well as plants
grown on iodine-rich soil. Iodized salt is fortified with iodine. Check to see if your table salt says
something about Iodine.

Step 6: Sleep Wellย
27. ย
Sleep well. I canโt stress this enough.
An average person needs from 8 to 10 hours of sleep everyday. Maybe 7, but thatโs pushing it.
Sleep less than that and your metabolism wonโt function properly, you will gain fat, gain volume,
and your efficiency will drop to the minimum.
A good 8 hours of sleep helps burn calories and build muscle, and thats 8 hours of
deepcontinuous sleep.
28. When you donโt get enough sleep the levels of leptin in your body are lowered. Leptin is a blood
protein that suppresses your appetite.
With your levels of leptin being lowered due to sleep depravation the levels of grehlin in your
body are increased. Grehlin is a hormone thatโs released in your body that makes you want to
eat.

Step 7: Finishingย
29. ย
Well, I think that pretty much covers it. Remember, my goal wasnโt weight loss or something like
that, I just want you to be able to eat what you like as many times as you like with a faster
healthier metabolism.
If weight loss and a healthier, more efficient body are byproducts of this, then we are some very
lucky folks.
And remember, please BE CONSTANT. You donโt get a fast metabolism overnight. Follow the
guidelines and you should be ok.
30. I hope you liked this instructable and more importantly, I hope it helps you to get a happier and
healthier life. Sorry if it was a lot to read =P. Take care of yourself and others!! All the best. =)
