There are tons of diet and exercise programs on the market today. It's enough to make one's head spin. In some diets bacon is good and in others it is bad. No wonder everybody is over weight. Here are 3 things that actually work.First, eating 5 or 6 small meals a day is a proven way to raise your metabolism. I call it the fire analogy. When you make a fire, you want it to keep burning. In order to do this, you keep putting small or medium pieces of wood on it. If you just put one giant log on it, it will smoke and go out. That is exactly what happens to your metabolism when you eat 2 or 3 large meals a day. This is true for all diet and exercise programs.Second, stay away from simple carbohydrates. There are two kinds of carbs: Simple carbs and complex carbs. Simple carbs are processed. They have little or no nutritional value. White bread, pasta, and sugar are examples of simple carbohydrates. Complex carbs are harder for your body to digest. Therefore, they keep you full longer and burn more calories. They are unprocessed and have much more nutritional value and fiber than simple carbs. Whole wheat bread and pasta are examples of complex carbohydrates.Third, exercise often and in moderation. Almost any kind of exercise will help you lose weight. The key is to exercise every day or almost every day. In order to exercise that often, you need to pick an exercise that you like to do and that your body can handle several times a week. Many people over do it the first day at the gym, then they have mentally defeated themselves. Stop before you are thoroughly exhausted so that you still want to go back the next day.

What Are Metabolic Types?
The recognition of different Metabolic Types began with the observations of a dentist, Weston Price, who travelled all over the world in the 1930s and was amazed at the huge differences in diet that he witnessed. Even more fascinating was the fact that where a tribe or people had been relatively isolated and had developed a very specific diet, incidences of most degenerative diseases and illnesses were almost unheard of. Prolonged good health was very much the norm.
However he soon realized that it was not simply a case of dictating that, "we must all eat like the Inuit for health and longevity!" The high fat and protein diet of the hardy and healthy Inuit was in total contrast to the fruit, vegetable and grain rich diets of the long lived, sharp and active Mediterranean villagers, or the rice and vegetable diet of the East Asians. In fact, he recognized that there were many factors that differentiated the various tribes and peoples. But one thing he identified and which has been proven time and again ever since, is that our modern western diet goes hand in hand with all sorts of health problems and issues.
His observations intrigued other scientists, like George Watson, Roger Williams and William Kelly, who all continued to research this area. They came to the conclusion that there are two main factors that determine how our bodies react to the food we eat, and that these are mainly determined by our genetic inheritance:
1. Which autonomic nervous system is dominant - There are two branches to this system, the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system. The first gives us our "fight or flight" instinct, burns energy rapidly and suppresses the digestive system. The parasympathetic system on the other hand helps to calm us down, save energy and digest food thoroughly. The scientists came to the conclusion that whichever of these two systems was dominant would have a major influence on how our bodies process the food we put into them.
2. The rate of cellular oxidation - in other words the speed with which our cells tend to turn food into energy. If we are fast oxidizers, then our bodies convert food quickly into energy. It's recommended that fast oxidizers eat plenty of heavy proteins and fats which take longer to break down and release energy. Slow oxidizers on the other hand require a diet based more on carbohydrates which release their energy more quickly.
