Metabolism Mysteries Solved > John Parrillo
Much has been written lately,from articles to books, on “me-tabolism,” the sum total of all processes that produce energy and drive life. Anyone interested in losing body fat and building lean mass must be concerned with metabolism and specifically how to maximize it. Cer-tain factors affect the metabolic rate- the speed at which physiological ac-tivities occur in the body. These fac-tors include frequency of meals, food combinations, and the thermic effect of medium chain triglycerides(MCTs), like CapTri®. At Parrillo Per-formance, we’ve been educating people on these factors for more than20 years. They all work together, and using MCTs as part of the mix has adirect effect on metabolism. When the body converts energy into heat, the metabolism increases, leading to fat loss.
