on 6/30/2006 Eat breakfast, this will kick start your metabolism 30%. But not just any breakfast! Start off with egg whites, and other high protein foods. These require more energy to break down the amino acid bonds, therefore creating another 10% boost. Within 15 minutes of eating, go for a 20 minute walk. This will boost your metabolism another 20% . Throughout the day, drink ice cold water. This is another 5-10% boost. Train with weights and boost your metabolism for up to 48-96 hours.

on 6/30/2006 Water is not a significant source of burning calories, but the human body uses 12 calories per glass of ice cold water. The calories are consumed by your body heating the water to your body temperature. Estimated, 8 glasses of cold water a day would burn 3 pounds a year.

on 6/30/2006 Drinking ice cold water speeds up your metabolism by 5%. It decreases the temperature in your body, thus making the body work harder to keep warm, hence the increase in metabolism. The same works with cold showers.

on 3/6/2006 Certain foods, especially hot and spicy foods, are known to increase metabolism. Asian and Indian foods have many healthy choices, but avoid foods spicy foods like hot wings-buffalo sauce is basically hot sauce cut with butter, lots of butter. Tuna fish (minus the mayonnaise) requires a lot of calories to digest, and contains few calories, a welcome combination. Last, though a bit off topic, live plants purify air, which aid cellular metabolic processes.
