i forgot what i was going to mention before but do you think protein of 200g a day is fineyes protein is the most thermogenic of the macros, and fats are the least. fructose increases carbon dioxide production better than any other sugar/carb, so those two are probably the best choices for high metabolism/fat loss. But it's not always simple, sometimes certain foods are staples for some people and they just don't feel well without some potato/butter etc.
to increase metabolic rate, oxidative phosphorylation the best thing is to have a stimulating life. If you wake up and you're excited about what you do and you have good people in your life, maybe a nice partner/gf/bf, naturally the cells mitochondria is going to kick into gear and you'll get more and more energetic.
It's a positive feedback loop. Light is another powerful thing, the more light you have in your daily environment, the more alive you'll feel. It activates energy production at a fundamental level. This is why incandescent and red light devices are so useful, to "top off" an inadequate environment.
Limiting EMF exposure, and improving air/water quality are other big factors.
can it be from gelatin eaten straight out the jar
what about things like dried mangoes, dried pineapples, dried dates...
water can just be avoided right, if you stick to milk, OJ , coconut water?
