what food to eat to increase metabolism?

Answer 1

Metabolism is increased by eating very small meals but eating frequently. Most articles I have read suggest 6 small meals daily.

Answer 2

There are not really specific foods - the best way to increase your metabolism is excercise and eating small meals throughout the day. If you are not willing to do this, I am afraid you will have limited sucess. Some studies have said Acai berries help with metabolism, maybe that would help?

Answer 3

Exercise increases metabolism rather than food - eating fresh fruit and veg will help you stay healthy which in turn helps metabolism.

Answer 4

The answer isn't in food...it's drinking lots of water it will increase ur metabolism more than anything will

Answer 5

i don't think this will work with any type of food, maybe to some extend but nothing really that can drastically increase metabolism - as far as food is concerned.

Answer 6

well this isn't exactly a food, but you could eat coffee beans. i would have said drink coffee or tea since caffeine inhibits appetite and increases metabolism, but they are drinks, not foods. you would get the same effect with coffee beans only i would get the chocolate covered ones. those things are delicious.

Answer 7

Fruits and high-fiber vegetables. But, they are powerless if you don't exercise. If you combine a reasonable daily exercise with a sensible amount of fruits and veggies in your diet, you'll metabolism will speed up a lot more than usual.

Answer 8

Celery stalks burn more calories than they possess. You cannot increase your metabolism in food -- only exercise.

Answer 9

Hate to bore you with this answer, but raw veggies burn up more calories than they contain. You could literally starve by living on raw carrots, celery, cabbage, lettuce, etc. Not saying to eat only them, but they sure help a lot!
