Weekly Nutrition Tip #4
Tip #4
Revving Up Metabolism
by Dr. John Berardi I recommend more calories than most do. That’s because there’s no such thing as a stagnant metabolic set-point. Instead, metabolism chases intake. So, if you want a bigger metabolism, you need a bigger food intake. And if you’re worried about fat gain with this approach, just use outcome-based decision making and adjust energy (calorie) intake every two weeks based on your results. Not much ‘damage’ can take place in only two weeks. So if you end up boosting your metabolism, you’ll be thanking me eternally. And if it turns out you’re consuming too much, you can just adjust down.

I agree. Too often, people try to consume too few calories. If your body isn’t getting enough energy, this will not help you lose weight, especially if you are increasing the amount of time you exercise or are doing harder workouts.
You are exactly right. I have actually read about people losing weight by increasing their calories. They were smart about what they ate (mostly more protein), but it is still against the way most people think. Furthermore, I think this was an issue on a recent episode of The Biggest Loser. One of the contestants was eating only about 500 calories per day. He or she upped his or her food intake and actually lost more weight.
