is to not let one's body go into "resting" mode, i.e., getting up every few minutes or so keeps the metabolism in a fat burning mode as opposed to fat storing. Or so I've heard. Anyone else have thoughts on this? Sometimes I just switch between sitting and standing at work to accomplish this, especially if I'm on a long call or writing technical specs that don't let me get away from the desk.
