I agree with Jack, EPOC, "as studies test it" doesn't seem like it would be as beneficial as we make it out to be. However, MET does work. Some say that the lactate produced during these MET Circuits can trigger GH which is lipolytic. Not sure exactly what happens, but they do work. I'd say it's more of a hormonal advantage that you get when you do MET, and remember, hormones govern fat loss. . .

My one complaint with the Biggest Loser is that it focuses on weight loss as opposed to body composition. It reinforces the old "success by scale" mentailty. We'd all be a lot better of if we used the mirror and did simple bofy fat analysis (plus a journal). Good Post Mike as always.

I have a friend who's a trainer and she loves the show. I can't get past the way people are treated. And NOW the language...there is no need for that kind of treatment for anyone... I have never done the Metabolic Circuits but I am a fan of resistance training...just my 2 cents. What do you know/think of HCG for weight loss? I am with you on "The Biggest Loser"!

Is this the same as when people speak of EPOC or a separate phenomenon? I ask this because I have read that EPOC is about 8-15 percent or so (depending upon activity intensity) of the total kcal expenditure during the chosen activity. As such quite a number of writers claim that any metabolic boost is not nearly as significant as it is made out to be. Not being engrossed in all of the research leaves me slightly confused as to which is closer to the reality of the situation. Just curious if you can add some more clarity. I do not mean to come across as argumentative, I am just somewhat confused by what seems to be a back and forth between claims about significant metabolic boosts for 1+ days after certain types of activity and other claims that such impacts are largely overblown. Mike,
