Book Description
If you’ve tried every conceivable combination of diet and exercise and still can’t shed those extra pounds, then perhaps you haven’t discovered the hidden key to weight loss—proper breathing. By increasing the amount of oxygen you take in, you can help your body do a more efficient job of releasing hydrogen, the chief culprit in the storage of excess fat. And you’ll be amazed at the benefits of learning to breathe the right way:
-Reset your body’s metabolism to burn calories more efficiently
-Lose weight without complicated food restrictions or rigid exercise schedules
-Feel more energized and less stressed
Breathing coach Pam Grout will show you how with thirteen “energy cocktails,” simple but powerful breathing exercises that you can incorporate into your daily routine, whether you’re at your desk, in your car, standing in line, watching TV—nearly anywhere, anytime.

Amazon.com Review
Written with self-deprecating humor and a clear, up-beat style, Jumpstart Your Metabolism takes the reader on a journey through many breathing-related issues, all designed to enhance breath awareness and restore healthy breathing. Her text elaborates on the key fact that by breathing deeply and increasing oxygen intake, the body burns hydrogen–the key culprit in storing excess fat–faster and more efficiently. Grout’s daily maintenance program includes three core breathing exercises (“Baywatch Bikini Breaths,” “Kung Fu Breaths,” and “Walk Around the Block with Your Mouth Full of Water”). Also included are a bibliography on books about breath and breathing, a short quiz to ascertain the degree of your breathing problem, a chapter on the mechanics of breathing, and information-stocked sidebars that serve as enthusiastic breathing coaches.
