  Each food has a different burn rate : carbs, proteins and fats are burned over different time intervals and your own body too has its own metabolic rate. This book teaches you what to eat and when to eat it - a weight loss programme which uses the latest scientific information about metabolism and nutrition. The book allows you to match the burn rates of different foods to your own personal metabolic rate or burn rate . It can enable you to: predict your exact calorie needs at any weight; boost your energy levels; prevent stress eating and bingeing; calculate your personal metabolic rate; and create personalized and healthy eating plans. It reveals how carbohydrates, proteins and fats are burned over different time intervals and the author (a sports nutritionist) shows us how to control our appetite by taking advantage of such burn rate differences. Dieters will also be able to determine the energy expenditure of their chosen exercise or sport and will be shown how to establish an individualized eating and exercise plan. Certain physical changes: ageing, pregnancy, increase in muscle mass, or weight fluctuations cause changes in the body burn rate. The author demonstrates that matching the right fuel mix to your metabolic engine should enable you to avoid hunger and maintain a high energy performance.
