Flip the Switch: Proven Strategies to Fuel Your Metabolism and Burn Fat 24 Hours a Day

Dr. Robert Cooper, one of America's top weight-loss researchers, has found that the secret to slimming down lies in what he calls the Meta-Stat, an area of the brain that regulates metabolism. The trouble with most popular diet-and-exercise plans is they fire up your Meta-Stat for only short spurts. The rest of the time, your body is in fat-storing mode. But if your Meta-Stat stays on 24 hours a day, you burn fat constantly-and build energy to boot. In Flip the Switch, Dr. Cooper reveals scientifically proven strategies that enable you to turn on your Meta-Stat and maintain optimum metabolism all day long. It can be as simple as sitting in bright light, practicing deep breathing, improving your posture, or maintaining a cool room temperature. Beyond these and other metabolic "switches," Flip the Switch offers:
• A satisfying eating plan that emphasizes the right foods at the right times of day
• An all-around workout that supports optimal Meta-Stat function-and requires just 20 minutes a day
• Starter programs directing you to key switches that will jump-start your weight-loss efforts
• An exclusive "success map" to chart your progress toward your goals
• More than 100 delicious recipes, all designed to fuel your Meta-Stat "The Meta-Stat approach is so simple that once you start practicing it, it will become second nature. Your body's own signals will guide you, hour by hour and day by day....Each time you turn on one of the switches, you'll more easily turn on the next one, and the next-increasing fat-burning and energy-producing power every step of the way."-From the introduction to Flip the Switch
