Eat for Heat is best described as a complementary concept that has yet to be discussed anywhere in the world of health, diet, and nutrition.
The book takes a close look at the modern habit of compulsive beverage consumption, mass prescriptions to "drink 8, 8-ounce glasses of water per day," phobias about salt and sugar, and turns them all upside down in classic 180DegreeHealth style.
The objective? Increase the concentration of the extracellular fluid (the fluid in our bodies) for increased core body temperature (rise in metabolism), increased circulation to the extremities for warm hands and feet, and taking the burden off of the stress system for far-reaching health and hormonal improvements.
The concept is extremely simple. The net sum of the food and beverages we consume can either concentrate or dilute our body fluids. Eat for Heat discusses simple principles on how to make minor changes to your meals and drinking habits to keep your body in a better metabolic "zone" all day every day. It's a tactic that can be applied to any dietary belief system, and can even yield tremendous health benefits to those eating just a regular Western diet. Everyone can benefit from the simple concept put forth in Eat for Heat.
In terms of specific benefits from mastering this idea, you can expect to...
* Eliminate frequent urination and waking up at night to urinate
* Overcome frequent headaches, migraines, and seizures
* Increase body heat and body temperature to 98.6 degrees F and higher
* Improve or eliminate anxiety completely, stabilizing mood
* Sleep deeper and longer, waking feeling more rested
* Enhance immunity and increase the speed of tissue renewal
* Eradicate heart palpitations
* Moisten your skin and hair, especially dry skin around the hands and lower legs and feet
* Eliminate dry mouth and excessive thirst
* Lower LDL, total cholesterol, and triglycerides
* Increase sex hormone production like progesterone and testosterone
* Be able to eat whatever you want, when you want, without gaining fat
* Strengthen bones and teeth
And more. Buy it now on Kindle, paperback, or as an audiobook narrated by the author, Matt Stone.
Eat for Heat: The Metabolic Approach to Food and Drink Reviews
-
In Eat for Heat, Matt Stone has unearthed some very important concepts regarding hydration that I've never even heard of before reading it. In fact, that information is so fundamental that I think it's really step one for anybody looking to get healthy. Changing the amount of liquids that I consume and other nutrition information in Eat for Heat have put me on the fast track to metabolic health.

There may be some validity to Mr Stone's theories, but I can't get behind a diet that supports pizza and ice cream as weight loss mechanism or to boost body heat. I could have swallowed this better if he had made his recommendations on a whole food diet instead of processed crap.

Second Time Around
I'm seeing things that weren't clear to me the first time.
This book is highly practical and is intended to get one thinking about the cues received from one's own body. The first time I read it, I got some things to think about. The second time I could see connections between things I'm doing (or not doing) and results in my body.
I appreciate that Stone doesn't claim a one-size-fits-all approach, but encourages the reader to start learning his/her own body and it's cues; especially as those will, and do, change as circumstances change. -
(на български по-долу)
I was intrigued by this book - and by Matt Stone's views, especially about water intake. And since I have been questioning what I learned about health and nutrition by years of low carbing, I decided to give the book a chance.
I find Matt Stone's style in this book quite reader-friendly (and I definitely don't mind his jokes, quite the contrary). As for the information itself, it is well presented and there's really not much to it, you don't have a lot to remember:
1) most people need to drink less and eat more, especially the four S's: starch, sugar, salt and saturated fat
2) most people need to get more calories
3) most people need more food and less water in the morning and less food and more water in the evening.
With that being said, the author repeatedly emphasizes that you should ultimately be guided by your own body, for example your urine color (which should be yellow) and how you feel (if your hands and feet are warm etc.).
I gave the book 4 stars because there are too few references.
Having read the book, I am definitely willing to experiment and see if I really need to drink less and eat more starch/sugar/salt/saturated fat. And I am looking forward to reading more books by Matt Stone.
***
Бях заинтригувана от тази книга - и от схващанията на Мат Стоун, особено за приема на вода. И тъй като поставям под въпрос всичко, което съм научила за здравето и храненето от годините нисковъглехидратно хранене, реших да дам шанс на книгата.
Намирам стила на Мат Стоун в тази книга доста приятен (и със сигурност не ми пречат шегите му, точно обратното). Що се отнася до самата информация, добре представена е и наистина не е кой знае какво философия, няма много за помнене:
1) повечето хора трябва да пият по-малко и да ядат повече, особено четирите S: starch (скорбяла), sugar (захар), salt (сол) и saturated fat (наситени мазнини);
2) повечето хора трябва да приемат повече калории;
3) повечето хора имат нужда от повече храна и по-малко вода сутрин и от по-малко храна и повече вода вечер.
Въпреки това авторът многократно подчертава, че всеки трябва да се ръководи от тялото си, например от цвета на урината (който трябва да е жълт) и как се чувства (дали ръцете и ходилата са топли и т.н.).
Дадох 4 звезди, защото не са посочени достатъчно източници.
След като прочетох книгата, със сигурност съм склонна да експериментирам и да видя дали наистина трябва да пия по-малко и да консумирам повече скорбяла/захар/сол/наситени мазнини. И нямам търпение да прочета още книги от Мат Стоун. -
Fun fact: I bought this book before I realized that Matt Stone is Buck Flogging, one of my favorite writers on internet business.

Can't believe this was written, let alone published.
He had me. For a few short minutes in the beginning when he said he wasn't certified at all, but just had an interest in Health. His ideas behind over hydrating the body I started to be interested in....
Until he starting even suggesting that ice cream, soda, and potato chips should be a healthy solution to anything.
I'll hold on to my water bottle thanks and vegetables. Thanks -
great Read
Very informative and an interesting way to get healthy. I have started on this path of fixing my metabolism and this book is a great help.
