Guess which diet company lists these as some of their ingredients?

Some ingredients: soy protien isolate, brown rice syrup, trisodium phosphate, inulin, evaporated cane juice, soybean oil, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup solids, calcium sulfate, wheat gluten, sodium caseinate, diacetyl tartaric acid ester of mono diglycerides, azodicarbonimide, salt, sugar, sodium erythorbate, chromium chloride, sodium selenite, corn starch, sodium molybdate, glycerine, pyridoxine hydrochloride, ...

Do any of these ingredients possibly boost your metabolism? Raise the pulse rate?

The only thing that will boost your metabolism is exercise (ask a cyclist).
Your pulse can go up from stress as well as chemicals, so I suppose one of those ingredients could raise your heart rate, but your heart doesn't use much in the way of calories by itself. It's really efficient energy-wise and even rests between beats.

I have no guess which company your list comes from.
 
I don't know if any of the items listed would do anything to boost the metabolism. One thing I learned from experience is that energy begats energy. The more energy we use the more we seem to have.

By the looks of it most of the ing. listed are dirivitives of something else. Refined versions of any thing is not as good as the natural source. Brown rice is good sorce of supplied energy, but the syrup I don't know about that. The same is true of tofu. To keep my weight under control I eat brown rice and use tofu as well as a healthy mix of nuts, other grains vegetables and fruits. Among these I make sure to get a lot of raw vegetation.

In doing this I lost 20 pounds in 3 mo.. had plenty of energy and felt really good. And I eat a lot.
 
Dunno, except that with all that starch and sugar it doesn't look very low calorie (speaking as a constant dieter myself!)

No idea what the company is, though.

If that's the full recipe, it looks like a sauce or a salad dressing, something like that. I was tempted to say Diet Coke or similar, but the corn starch and wheat gluten would make it a thicker consistency than that, I think.
