Cinnamon is a great booster. A teaspoon in your morning coffee works wonders. \n\nGreen tea has other benefits than as a booster - keep drinking it. BUT, as with all herbal regimens, take time off from it every couple of weeks UNLESS ordered otherwise by a Dr.

Walk or run, Drunk alot of water, take in protein, and for added nutrients to help boost your metabolism while exercising take a multivitamin. Make sure to eat small meals throughout the day. Maybe eat a protein bar a couple times throughout the day. Do not starve yourself. If you do, your body will hold on to the fat to protect itself because its being starved.

A gradual approach by increasing your metabolism will help you long term lose weight and keep it off.\n\nFor any weight loss program its important to understand how to increase your RMR or metabolism.  Your RMR or resting metabolic rate is the amount of energy you burn in your daily activities.  \n\nDo you know someone who can eat anything they want and  they are skinny as a rail even if they dont workout?  Well that person has a very high RMR.\n\nThere are several ways to increase metabolism but lets look at the factors that drive your metabolism RMR first. \n\n1. Genetics - you have very little control, but you are not a prisoner of your genes. \n\n2. Lean Muscle Mass - this one throws most people off because women think, oh no I dont want muscles and men think I guess I have to look like a body builder. Lean muscle mass is simply your weight minus the weight of your organs, bones, fluids and fat. You increase lean muscle mass primarily through eating properly, resistance exercise, and a lifestyle that doesnt promote catabolizing activites (smoking, heavy drinking and drug use)\n\n3. Frequency of meals - the more meals the more the metabolic processes take place in your body and the faster your metabolism.\n\n4. Water Intake - dehydration is a major drag on metabolism.\nMost people are dehydrated and they dont know it.\n\n5. Sleep - getting enough rest allows the body to function at a higher metabolic level.\n\nFor more information check my source.   It tells you more information than you even knew about your metabolism.  It  also goes into greater detail about different ways to speed your metabolism.\n\nhttp://www.jtfit.com/metabolism/

Hi,\nGreat question.\nOur metabolism is what turns calories into energy. The higher the metabolic rate, the higher the caloric output. When does our metabolism work? Well the truth is it’s always working, even when you are sleeping. A well designed fitness program will elevate the metabolic rate. Below are nine closely guarded steps to increasing your metabolic rate.\n1. Eat protein at every meal, including breakfast.\n2. Eliminate wheat- and flour-based products for the time being. And yes, that definitely includes bread and pasta. \n3. Eat unprocessed foods. Ninety percent of what you eat should be a combination of (in this order of importance) raw vegetables, steamed vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and a few fruits. \n4. Reduce starch to one portion a day, and don't eat that portion during your evening meal. Best choices of starches are beans, sweet potatoes, and oatmeal. \n 5. Reduce or eliminate dairy for the time being, especially cow's milk. Exceptions: reasonable amounts of low sugar, fat free yogurt. \n6. Lose the booze. Despite what the "studies" say, you lose no health benefits by giving up alcohol (including wine). There is nothing essential in alcohol that you can't get in fruits and vegetables without all the bad side effects that go along with it. \n7. Stop using vegetable oils such as sunflower, safflower and corn. The supermarket kind is highly refined, and it oxidizes easily when heated, contributing to arterial plaque. Use olive oil instead, and apply it to food after the food is cooked when possible. \n8. Watch which types of fat you're eating. The amount of fat you eat is probably less important than the kind of fat you eat. The worst are fried foods, margarine and foods that contain hydrogenised or partially hydrogenised oils. The best is omega-3, found in fish and flaxseed oil. \n9. Obsessively drink water: At least 8 ounces for every 20 pounds of bodyweight you're now carrying around, each day. Everyday. No excuses

Metabolism is the amount of calories your body burns to maintain itself and perform all its functions.\n\nThere are a few techniques to speed it up:\n\n1. Exercise!  When we exercise, our bodies require more energy and our metabolism increases in order to supply it\n\n2. Increase your lean muscle mass by doing weight training.  The addition of muscle mass on an individual will cause an increase in the number of calories that are utilized at rest.\n\n3. Eat regularly just smaller portions.  An ideal diet would be 3 healthy meals with healthy snacks in between.  It's good to take in around 1500-2200 calories a day for women, and 1800-2500 a day for men depending on your Age, Weight, and Energy needs. The idea is to eat frequently to prevent hunger pangs, and to keep your energy levels consistent which in turn will increase and speed up your metabolism.

The only way to jumpstart your metabolism is to exercise.  You will start building muscle which means you will eventually have to burn more fuel to do the same movements.  Also, your body will actually constuct more capillaries inside of your muscles so that it can get fuel there more quickly.

First, do not skip meals.  When you skip meals it actually slows down your metabolism because your body figures out that it will not be fed for a longer period of time so it metabolizes the food that you give it slower.  Also, eating smaller meals more often will speed up your metabloism.  Now, for an added boost.  When I was having difficulty losing the last 15 pounds I wanted to lose, I took Apple Cider Vinegar pills.  They also boost your metabolism.  You can also just drink the vinegar, but fair warning, it tastes bad and burns about like tequila.  Hop this helps.

Increase your metabolism slowly by walking on the treadmill, it forced you to walk.\nEat alot of small meals, like an apple, banana, smoothies.\nDrink alot of water.\nStay away from starch food like rice, potatoes and pasta.\nDon't eat 3 hours before you go to sleep.

You need to do other things to increase your metabolism.  Drink more water.  Make sure you are getting 7-8 hours of sleep every night.  Drink green tea 3x a day.  Cut back on carbs.

Find out your maintenance calorie mark, the number of calories you burn without doing any strenuous exercise during the day.  Then add 250-500 calories per day.  This will help you gain about a pound a week or about 52 pounds a year.  That should be easy enough.  Unless you're trying to put on flab, I'd recommend weight training and *some* cardio to go along with it.  In which case, you'd probably want to add an additional 300-500 calories.  Eat *lots* of complex carbs (oatmeal, brown rice, sweet potatoes, etc.) and more protein (chicken, fatty fish, lean steak) and a little more fat (mostly from oils such as flax seed, fish oil, peanut oil and other sources such as natural peanut butter).  You'll be bigger *and* healthier in no time.  Eat 6 big meals throughout the day.  It will boost your metabolism but you won't spike your insulin as much (again if you want to gain in a healthy manner).  \n\nIf you really do want to gain weight and don't care about your health, then whoppers, milk shakes, french fries at least once a day and no exercise should do the trick.

Metabolism is tricky, although there is a way to boost your metabolism some people are just born lucky .. its in the genes. To increase the effectiveness of your inate metabolism regular cardio - biking, swimming, running etc- and most especially strength training at least 2- 3 x per week. \nMuscles are MUCH more efficient burners than fat! Thats what to keep in mind. \nKeep the workouts challenging and you know youre doing a great workout.\nGreen tea has also showed minimal boosts in metabolism as does milk and dairy products.\nComplex carbohydrates take longer for the body to digest and metabolize therefore they are great metabolizers as well... sweet potatoes, whole-grain breads, whole wheat pastas etc.

yes it boosts your metabolism.  Also helps in fat oxidation (breakdown).  A study showed a reduced amount of weight gain in a group of people not by food intake but in the absorption of energy (calories).

You've plateaued. Try eating some fatty food for 1 day. I prefer Dark chocolate, it has a lot of antioxidants and it'll help to stimulate your metabolism.

1. Increase your water intake to at least 2liters a day\n2. Eat little or no meat\n3. Cut back on refined sugars\n4. Don't do the 3 big meals a day, try 4 or 5 small snack size meals, this will increase you metabolism and less fat will be stored from it.\n5. Take the stairs! Look for the little places in your life that can add calorie burn. Instead of an escalator or elevator, take the stairs. Don't drive through the bank, go in.l It actually makes a difference.\n6. Avoid fast and fried foods, anything with hydrogenated oils. \n7. When you have craving to crunch go for vegetables instead of chips. \n\nGood Luck!

on top of all of the excercises, eat your healthy 3 course meals..breakfast, lunch and dinner...but in between courses eat a healthy snake....fruit and light crackers...yogurt.  This will get your body use to this intake..and will speed up your metabolism.

taking a multi vitamin daily (vitamin b's help with burning fat and bloodflow) doing light cardio going for walks or slow jogs not eating less just less at one time 5-6 small meals throughout the day will up your metabolism.  Drinking green tea or taking EGCG tablets will boost your metabolism, help block calories a little, and helps in fat oxidation (brake down).  Don't worry about all this atkins this or southbeach that just eat clean healthy foods, no processed starchy sugary crap.  If you have to snack try snacking on protein foods like beef jerky or at least something salty and baked over something sugary or fried.  Here is a good grocery list http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/stella9a.htm
