Metabolic Effect Blog

This  blog is the official blog of the hormonal fat loss and lifestyle company Metabolic Effect Inc., also known as ME. The term Metabolic Effect refers to the optimal state of hormonal function that leads to sustained fat loss both during exercise and at rest. It is the lifestyle inputs like diet, exercise, sleep, and stress among others that determine whether we will burn fat or store it, age fast or slow, be in a good mood or bad, and have sustained health or disease. This blog is meant to help decipher the differences between fat loss and weight loss (they are not the same thing).  Topics include exercise, nutrition, lifestyle, and various other topics.
