Back in April I did some research on thermogentic foods, what the terms mean and what types of food are thermogenetic and what they do for our bodies. In trying to find a way to better relay the information I used a term and related it to the topic and totally screwed up...
Thermogenesis in relation to metabolism is a competely different subject than that of thermogensis in food. I learned by reading the blog of a respected friend and professional, that I had a misunderstanding of metabolism, like many people, and after doing my own research, I found out that he is absolutely correct.
The truth is, Food more than likely cannot increase your metabolic rate, and thermogenesis in relation to metabolism is concerning weight loss from non execise activity with caloric increase, compared to basal metabolism, or non active metabolism. I connected two totally different sciences to create a total misunderstanding of a third...Sorry Folks!I also want to make it clear that I do not think supplements like Ephedra are helpful in the long term as well as in the short term.
If you want to read more about What the Mayo Clinic has to say about Thermic Metabolism, go to the Mayo clinic link on my page, and search NEAT or thermogenic.
I am sorry if my lack of education on this subject confused any of you, I am learning myself, and it helps alot to have real pro's to get answers from. I do stick by what I wrote about lean meats and other foods I mentioned being Thermogenic, but only in relation to food and increased energy, not Metabolism.
I also agree when he says that supplement stimulants probably do little to help, and I feel they could be risky too...
