How do you boost your metabolism?

  • Any ideas about how to boost your metabolism?
  • i dont know much about it, but i would say exercising regularly and challenging your body a little fitness-wise and eating regularly
  • Exercise! Any type of physical activity helps.
    Eating a good breakfast every day helps your metabolism get going in the morning.
    Strength training helps too, I think.
  • yeah, build muscle! Muscle is like a fat burning machine, the bigger the machine the better! Generally at least
  • I exercise daily and also eat about 6-7 times through the day this seems to keep me going well!
  • Heres a great web link on boosting your metabolism!

  • Eat as much as you can get away with. And in addition to exercise, be active all day in small ways.
  • Not doing the same exercises over and over again not eating the same foods over and over again .. resting when needed.
  • I agree with all of the ladies, but I also eat spicy foods. It helps my metabolism.
  • Also, get tons of sleep, trust me on this one. When you are tired your metabolism slows down.
  • I would like to add, by eating whole organic food and avoiding processed as much as possible!
  • calorie shifting- or atleast an 'off diet day" every 3 weeks or so. Don't go crazy, just eat a bit more to jump start metabolism again
  • I agree with all of you.

    Kelly315 - that works so great for me. It just sort of kick-starts your body. I did that when I was on Atkins & it always worked. And even now that I'm just eating less calories it helps a lot. It takes a couple of days to get rid of the water weight, but then you get back to losing.
  • Definitely build muscle. Muscle is metabolically active and the more you build, the more you'll burn calories, even at rest.
