Exercise! That's the best and most natural way to boost your metabolism.

GA Peach I am from the ATL. Anyways there are several things you can do to increase your metabolism. One of the first things is to start lifting weights. The more muscle mass you build the more fat you will burn each day, even when you are not working out. Do not be afraid that you are going to become too muscular I hear women say this all too often. It's not like you will develop a bodybuilder physique over night. Also trying to eat 5-6 small meals a day, instead of 3 large meals. Your body will be in a constant state of burning calories. Green Tea has also been show to boost metabolism. But the most important component is lifting weights.

Eat only when hungry and not more than three times a day with nothing, except water, in between. Take plenty of uncooked food, vegetables and fruits, preferably 50%. Chew each morsel 32 times to activate ur body system to signal hunger and fullness.
Take light exercises and brisk walks regularly preferably twice a day.
U will achieve much more than what u r planning to do and that too in a reasonable period. Do not be in a hurry.

Coconut oil increases the metabolism. Take 1 tablespoon in the morning and another in the late afternoon. Use, organic, unrefined coconut oil. Good luck.

Get enough sleep, eat breakfast, and eat 5-6 smaller meals throughout the day. Have protein at every meal (which takes more energy for the body to digest) as well as fiber (found in fruits, veggies, and whole grains) to keep you full. Exercise regularly.

weight train, it increases your metabolism because your body uses more energy to repair itself
