    Default I'd like a list o fthings that speed metabolism.

    I know that green tea is supposed to help, and of course regular sleep and excersize, but what are some more I can sneak into my day?

    Having more muscle really helped my metabolism.

    I really don't know much else than that for long term effects.

    This is great advice I highly recommend eating 6 small meals a day it will do wonders for you.

    Is that really true? I had heard it was just an urban ledgend. i love spicy food so that would rock.

    I'm convinced my green tea habit is why i can eat like a horse and stay pretty slim.

    spicy foods and cold cold ice water or tea (your body uses energy to warm the water- or something to that effect)

    I drink green tea every day and barely eat and still am a cow. I think it has a lot to do with genetics.

    I just wanted to second the spicy foods suggestion. There is actually a huge variety of peppers to choose from too. The hotter the better when it comes tometabolism.

    actually barely eating is about the fastest way to get your metabolism to slow to a crawl. Your body starts to conserve calories and fat because it things it's starving.

    That is true but also add b- vitamins but b-12 is the best it also helps your energy levels as well as helps for depression and if you need help focusing.

    Okay this isn't specific to metabolism...but when I take a good multi (I love GNC's Ultra Mega) I have a lot more energy and have WAY less drive to eat. Seriously, those things cut my appetite in half, it's crazy.

    Cocaine and crystal meth FTW!

    Seriously, the best way to speed up your metabolism is to condition your body to do it on its own:

    Regular excercise, smaller meals, decrease stress, etc.....


    Don't ask me how to make all of that work though, its impossible for me to take the time for the 6 small meals a day. I just go with a meal plan of 4.

    Get a jump rope. Try to jump 10 to 20 mins. before you eat anything in the morning.

    I had a trainer that had me incorporate this into my program 3 to 4 times a week. This was seven years ago. I did NOT GAIN THE WEIGHT back. It made all the difference in my metabolism. I don't do it nearly as often as I used to, but I have still kept the weight off.

    Of course, I ate well, lowered my carb intake (but still ate them) and did other things to exercise.

    But that little jump rope works wonders and it will tone your lower body well.
