I have just added a new section entitled the "After-burn Effect", which discusses high intensity weight training and high intensity cardio interval training, as means to burn fat for the 48 hours following the workout.
Check it out and let me know what you think.
p.s i often use "WebMD" for a range of things, and thought it was quite interesting when i found mention of the After-burn effect. However more importantly what i read was regarding some biological facts about the body pasted below.
"Each extra pound of muscle you carry can burn up to 50 additional calories just to maintain itself -- and with no effort on your part. You can also increase your metabolism by eating foods that require extra energy to digest and metabolize; for example, protein. Your body burns twice as many calories digesting high-protein foods as it does foods that are high in carbs or fat." sourced from http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/increase-your-metabolism-start-losing-fat
I have often said having a high protein diet is beneficial as you would not be gaining weight, while mainting the necessary reactions in the body such as enzyme formation and muscle repair, but to know that the body consumes more energy digesting protein compared to other sources was quite a nice find.
