To increase you metabolism you may need to work out a little more than you usually do. You will need to exercise daily, build your muscles, avoid all kinds of alcohol, sugar as well as fasting, do not skip any kind of meals, you need to drink 8-10 glasses of water daily and most of all your diet should comprise of high nutrition values. Some of the natural metabolism boosters are Chilli (chili), Mustard, Green Tea, Water, dietary fibres, foods that are complex carbohydrates and proteins. At the same time you should also be careful of not eating any kind of pills that contain of animal thyroid since it can lead to side effects like diarrhoea, increased heart rate, excessive sweating, nervousness, tremors, bulging eyes, etc. There are safer supplements that are made of natural ingredients that enhances our metabolism like Maxoderm or Cortidrene to name a few and can be purchased over the counter.

People always want to "boost" their metabolism, but so many people don't even know what one is...
Your metabolism is just your body working, doing what it is suposed to do. Heart beating, lungs taking in oxygen, kidney's producing urine, bowels cranking out poo, stomach digesting food.
No pill can can beat your heart for you.. but some pills can make it beat faster, and snake oil salesmen will tell you it's because it is a Metabolism booster... a Contact cold pill can do that! Too much caffene can do that! So what!
The only thing that makes these bodily functions speed up, is water and excersise. That's why old people gain weight. That's why taking a big poo is so important to them. Because as they slow down, so does everything else. The only way to lose weight is to burn calories. A calorie is only a measurment of heat. Heat in the body turns the fat to a liquid that is able to exit the body via exhalation,out your nose and your mouth, and elimination such as pooping and peeing. You've heard people say, "My clothes fit differently, but the scale hasn't changed", it's because the fat has heated up, shifted position in the body because it has become a liquid, but it just has not exited the body yet.
So the only way to lose weight is to get moving, drink plenty of water (speeds up elimination) eat the right things, and don't take in more calories than you can burn.. It is really very simple, but it's not a magic pill, so people don't want to hear it. But it is the truth.

I have actually heard that drinking ice water (Not just plain water) helps boost a person's metabolism a little because the body has to work harder to warm itself back up. Maybe do a web search to try to find info on this.

Exercise more. If you use an exercycle for 30 minutes it actually keeps your metabolism raised for like 3 hours.
