I just got done reading Matt Stone's book "Diet Recovery: Restoring Hormonal Health, Metabolism, Mood, and Your Relationship with Food". Overall it was a really enjoyable read; Matt has a cool style of writing.
One thing I found interesting and wanted to start a discussing here about is butyric acid.
We all know that butyric acid speeds up metabolism. Matt has even said that it's probably the most metabolically stimulating substance there is.
What I didn't know before is that butyric acid is supplied in greatest abundance by the fermentation of fiber and resistant starch in the digestive tract. Some good sources of fiber and resistant starch are grains, corn, root vegetables, etc.
With seeing so many Peat followers completely eliminating grains and starch from their diet, I wonder if that is perhaps hindering their progress in increasing their metabolism.
Thoughts?
