So, while our actual, physical metabolism might be changed only slightly, all of these effects are still working for us. These effects and others are probably what sparked the idea that metabolism was being elevated. People exercises and lost more weight than the exercise alone could account for? Must be metabolism. Guess not, but just because the reasons are wrong doesn't mean the result isn't still here.
Also, in Leigh's metabolism book, she talks about "metabolism" (obviously) and how it's a collection of physical, hormonal, mental, situational, etc things. Our metabolisms aren't as simple as physical science would have us believe.

I agree wholeheartedly with this. The power of your state of mind may not be measurable in a lab but it's everything when it comes to weight loss, fitness, healthy living in general.
