I think the other thing that triggers metabolism is eating. not necessarily a "meal" (or junk) but like a small mid-day snack of a hard boiled egg & apple, for example. whereas fasting slows the metabolism. I agree, one must control the overall calorie intake for weight loss. but we can't fear food, as evil as it may seem sometimes hehe
one way to do this is to cut a lunch sandwich in half. eat 1/2 at lunchtime & eat 1/2 in the afternoon. so one isn't consuming more calories, rather you're spreading them out, keeping the metabolism triggered. at least that's what I remember reading
