"Losing weight and maintaining good health can be daunting. That's partly because so many factors are involved: not just diet, but also exercise, daily routine, environment, economics, genetics. In recent years, however, one factor, common to us all, has been shown time and again to be the key to fighting fat and staying fit: metabolism. The set of biological processes that turn food into energy, and energy into vital chemicals and proteins, metabolism directly influences the use of calories and the storage of body fat.

The even better news is that there are myriad ways to achieve this."--Back cover.
