So I was trying to figure out if working out more often speeds your metabolism ...
... and I found this 14 ways to speed up your metabolism article. Yes indeed, the article says that someone wanting to speed up their metabolism should break one long workout session into two shorter ones, or even get up and move every hour. What I found really interesting though was the sentence: "Women reap the largest fat-burning benefit when they consume three servings of dairy and 1,200 milligrams of calcium a day, Zemel's research shows," so I searched for "zemel calcium" and found this benefits of calcium in weight loss article.
It basically says that tests on rats show that a diet with added calcium will help burn fat faster because calcium in a fat cell will cause that fat cell to burn more of itself and because calcium increases the body's core temperature. The article also says that diets high in low-fat dairy are the best, but supplements work too, and if you want to take a supplement, take one with vitamin d, magnesium, and zinc, because they help the calcium be absorbed into the body.
Well, I'm sold.
