By consuming a few portions of 'healthy' fats each day you'll essentially increase your calorie burning potential.

Drink Cold Water

Exercise with Weights

Training with weights boosts your metabolism in a range of ways. By lifting weights you will create muscle tissue. And muscle tissue is metabolically active, so it needs calories even if at rest and so it helps to increase calorie-burning enzymes in your body.

Spice Up

Eating hot spices might speed up your metabolism. Just half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day can help increase metabolism and keep blood sugar levels in control. Can't stand the idea of cinnamon in your morning cup of coffee? Boost with cayenne, crushed red pepper or wasabi.

Eat More Protein

Protein requires a more complex chemical breakdown by your body to be digested and used as fuel. As an example, a hundred calories of protein may take up to thirty calories to process. Protein also takes more time to digest so helping to stabilize blood sugar for longer amounts of time and this will help you to not overeat later in the day. Eat a portion of protein at each meal and as part of your nibbles and you will increase the total number of calories you burn each day.
