yogurts and dairy foods definitely do not.  They are healthy foods in moderation, but they actually make people gain more weight.  They are good sources of calcium however.\n\n\nFoods with antioxidants are great, though, as well as certain citrus fruits.\n\nPommegranites, cranberries, and blueberries are the best.  These foods are also great for giving energy, loosing weight, and they help with slowing down the aging process.

If I were you I'd just do the lime and warm water and skip the honey. Limes or lemons in warm water 20 minutes prior to eating is great for your digestive system and is supposed to assist in increasing your metabolism. \n\nHoney is very high in calories as well as carbs. 1 tablespoon is like 1/4 of your daily intake so I stay away cause I like to enjoy my carbs in other methods. \n\nIf you want to have a healthy eating plan I have given you one. But if you do this it's life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. You can do a circuit class but this counts as one weights session. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, boxing and spin. If your classes are less than 1 hour top it up with cardio before and after classes. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

Eat atleast 1500 calories a day to keep your body from shutting down in survival mode and that will slow your metabolism down and it will help you stay at your weight.  Exercise, that's the number one key.

Under 120.  You should try working out about 30 minutes a day, and increase the workout as you feel comfortable. Bicycling, dancing, basketball, and walking are all great ways to get in shape.  Try watching your calorie intake, stay away from foods such as sweets, chips, fatty cheeses, soda, and drink water as much as possible.   Drinking about 70-100 ounces of water a day will give your metabolism a good boost.  Also, jumping jacks are a good workout- 17 of them burns one gram of fat, so you can calculate how many you need to do each day based on what you eat.

Diet and Run.\nEliminate butter, sugar and empty carb foods like chips and pretzels. Stay away from bacon, mayo and high fat meats. The most important thing to do is stay away from alcohol, it's not just the calories. Alcohol slows the metabolism and dehydrates your system.\n\nEat smaller portions for meals and eat 5-6 times a day. Drink water when you have the urge to snack, this not only supresses the hunger, it stimulates your metabolism.\n\nA typical day:\nBrekfast — bowl of Cheerios\nSnack — banana and one packet of outmeal\nLunch — turkey sandwich, no cheese or mayo and a salad, fat-free dressing\nSnack — apple and a hardboiled egg\nDinner — grilled chicken and steamed veggies\n\nIn between to fight off hunger slam a large glass of water.\n\nRun 3-5 miles a day, 5 times a week.\n\nWatch the weight slip off...

Incorporate spices in your diet.  Garlic is great, also vinegar cuts fat, as well as Hot pepper; which invigorates the metabolism. Just remember that if you are trying to lose weight you are not going to see that much of a difference unless you incorporate diet and exercise into your daily routine.

There are several ways to increase metabolism but lets look at the factors that drive your metabolism 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 also goes into greater detail about different ways to speed your metabolism.\n\nhttp://www.jtfit.com/metabolism/

Increase metabolism by eating several smaller meals per day.  The idea is to never let yourself get hungry.  One way to accomplish this would be to eat three healthy nutritious meals and eat healthy nutritious snacks in between those meals keeping yourself satisfied throughout the day. \n\nIt will be very important that the snacks are healthy, and that the meal sizes are reduced to compensate for the additional calories the snacks provide to prevent weight gain.\nTry this link for more info:

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.

Its mostly your diet along with mild exercising.  Wine=calories!  Start mornings with a good size breakfast, that is the most important meal of the day.  This kick starts your metabolism.  Subsitute candies, snacks, sweets with fruits and veggies.  Subsitute soda, fruit drinks with plenty of water. ORGANIC foods are the best too, its a little more expensive than regular food but its worth it! 30mins of any kind of cardio 3-4 days a week.  Good luck =)

Drink green tea every morning because it will give a metabolism boost and only eat small meals through out the day limiting sugars and carbohydrates.  Big meals and fasting will only slow your metabolism and make you gain more weight in the long run

Drink a bottle of water as soon as you get up.  It will jump start your metabolism so that your breakfast will digest faster.  It also perks you up a bit without inudating your body with a bunch of cafeen first thing in the morning.
