i get her metabolism kick started after an all liquid diet forced it to shut down, other than using loads of vitamin c ??

Lots of small meals often. Spread your calorie requirements over meals every 2 hours.

I find cardio increases my metabolism somewhat too.

vitamin C won't get your metabolism kicking lol - never heard that one

what kickstarts metabolism?? food =) increase her calories and carbs -- of course keep it clean -- oats, brown rice, veggies, etc.

hey mr. view>>One important function of vitamin C is in the formation and maintenance of collagen, the basis of connective tissue, which is found in skin, ligaments, cartilage, vertebral discs, joint linings, capillary walls, and the bones and teeth. Collagen, and thus vitamin C, is needed to give support and shape to the body, to help wounds heal, and to maintain healthy blood vessels. Specifically, ascorbic acid works as a coenzyme to convert proline and lysine to hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine, both important to the collagen structure.

Vitamin C also aids the metabolism of tyrosine, folic acid, and tryptophan. Tryptophan is converted in the presence of ascorbic acid to 5-hydroxytryptophan, which forms serotonin, an important brain chemical. Vitamin C also helps folic acid convert to its active form, tetrahydrofolic acid, and tyrosine needs ascorbic acid to form the neurotransmitter substances dopamine and epinephrine. Vitamin C stimulates adrenal function and the release of norepinephrine and epinephrine (adrenaline), our stress hormones; however, prolonged stress depletes vitamin C in the adrenals and decreases the blood levels. Ascorbic acid also helps thyroid hormone production, and it aids in cholesterol metabolism, increasing its elimination and thereby assisting in lowering blood cholesterol.

Vitamin C is an antioxidant vitamin. By this function, it helps prevent oxidation of water-soluble molecules that could otherwise create free radicals, which may generate cellular injury and disease. Vitamin C also indirectly protects the fat-soluble vitamins A and E as well as some of the B vitamins, such as riboflavin, thiamine, folic acid, and pantothenic acid, from oxidation. Ascorbic acid acts as a detoxifier and may reduce the side effects of drugs such as cortisone, aspirin, and insulin; it may also reduce the toxicity of the heavy metals lead, mercury, and arsenic.

Vitamin C is being shown through continued research to stimulate the immune system; although further research must be done for more definitive knowledge about vitamin C’s actions in the prevention and treatment of disease. p.s.thanks mcr for the response. at least you know what your talking about.

When my lady and I are at the table eating our meals, and she reaches for something I do not think she should eat, I slap it from her hand.

Last night as I was enjoying a custard pie with whip cream and chocolate sprinkles, she finished her salad and, when she thought I was not looking, tried to get a small spoonful of my custard.

Yet even in the relaxed mood that can only be achieved with a sated appetite and belly full of sweet deserts, my cat-like reflexes could not be overcome by her dietary trechery.

My hand delivered a prompt and decisive slap to her mouth as the forbidden spoon reached her lips, casting the forbidden fruits onto the laps of the couple dining across from us.
