Answer 2

believe it or not, eating, combined with proper exercise will help boost your metabolism. BUT, it has to be healthy foods, not junk. eating small meals every 2-3 hours through out the day will keep your metabolism going all day long. skipping meals is the worst thing to do. a small meal should consist of half a chicken breast, some fruit, maybe a slice of 100% whole wheat bread. and don't skip breakfast! combine this with exercise and you'll be amazed with the results. if you don't lose weight, it's because you're eating more junk than you think you are and not exercising enough (weight lifting 3 times a week, cardio for 30 minutes 4-5 days a week.) don't go more than 21/2 to 3 hours without eating, even if it's just a bite of something. also, have a carb and a protein EVERY TIME you eat, it will keep your blood sugar the most level, and keep your metabolism on track.

8 Ways to Speed Up Your Metabolism


By WLR Dietitian
Juliette Kellow BSc RD


Get active - it's a sure-fire way to increase the amount of muscle you have, which in turn will speed up your metabolism. Do a mixture of aerobic and resistance training for best results. And don't forget to be more active in your daily life too.

Eat little and often - there's evidence that eating small, regular meals throughout the day, rather than one or two large meals, may help to keep your metabolism ticking over. Surprisingly, around 10 percent of the calories we use each day go on digesting and absorbing food - so the more times you eat, the greater this effect is likely to be.

Eat plenty of protein-rich foods - research shows that around 25 percent of calories in a protein-rich meal may be burnt off. But make sure you choose low-fat protein foods such as lean meat, skinless chicken and low-fat dairy products.

Spice up meals - it's not an old wives tale after all! Spices like chilli are thought to raise metabolism by up to 50 percent for up to three hours after eating, due to increasing your heart rate. But before putting the local Indian takeaway on speed dial, work out which curries have the lowest calorie and fat content.

Swap you daily cuppa for green tea - there's evidence that it contains antioxidants that speed up metabolism.

Try a CLA supplement - more extensive studies need to be carried out before any definite conclusions can be drawn, but research has shown that conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) might increase muscle and therefore boost metabolism.

Chill out - research shows that being very cold can increase metabolism by up to 20 percent.

Have a sauna - being very hot is also thought to boost metabolism by about 20 percent (but check you don't have any underlying medical problems that mean you shouldn't go in saunas or steam rooms).

Answer 4

Exercise will speed up our metabolism. Eating 6 meals a day instead of 4 will speed it up too, just make sure they are 6 small meals.

If you think your metabolism is very slow, get a morning thyroid test.

Answer 5

The best and most effective way to increase your metabolism is to build up your muscle mass. You should do strength training at least 3 times a week -- it's as (or even more!) important as aerobic exercise! Muscles burn more calories at rest than other tissue in your body, so the more muscles you develop, the more calories you burn just by sittin' around doing nothing!

Check your local public library for strength training videos using free weights or stability balls, or sign up for a class at a gym. Pilates and yoga are also great ways to develop stronger muscles, so you don't have to rely on weight-lifting if that isn't something that appeals to you. Good luck!
