How to Increase (Speed up) Metabolism
Do not skip any meals
Exercise daily
Build your muscles
Avoid alcohol, sugar, and fastings
Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily.
Eat foods with high nutrition values
Natural metabolism boosters: Chilli (chili), Mustard, Green Tea, Water, dietary fibers, foods that are complex carbohydrates and proteins.
Note that foods can increase your metabolism only marginally. Only the lifestyle changes can make a dramatic effect on metabolism.
Some over the counter pills for speeding up the metabolism are available that contain animal thyroid. You should not take these products as these may have side effects as diarrhea, increased heart rate, excessive sweating, nervousness, tremors, bulging eyes, etc
Be physically active. In an activity like walking, bowling, dancing or playing golf, the energy you expand is greater if you have more weight to move around. A 140 pound man who walks 3 miles in an hour burns 220 calories as compared to a person of 110 pound, who burns only 180 cal going the same pace.

There really is no good way to increase metabolism without exercise. Time to get moving, unless you have some physical condition that prevents it. In which case, do whatever you can movement-wise.

Breakfast, it gets your metabolism started early in the day and usually reduces the amount of food you consume for lunch, eggs are great in moderation. Gotta keep the heart healthy too!
