Answer

There are so many ways you can increase you metabolism. A few tricks I use are:

  1. Drinking 10-16 cups of water.
  2. Eating small meals every 2-3 hours.
  3. Eating breakfast within an hour after waking up.
  4. I take a lot of vitamins. Co-Enzyme Q10, B12, and a B-complex all help boost metabolism, but you should also be taking a multivitamin.
  5. I take 1800 mg of Fish Oil because studies have shown that it will help you lose weight faster.
  6. Exercising in the morning will help boost your metabolism all day long. I like to exercise before breakfast because many people say it will burn 3 times as many calories then doing it after you eat. Although, this fact has not yet been proven.
  7. You should be having no less than 1000 calories a day. Anything less and you metabolism will drop.
  8. Do some type of aerobic exercise (walking, jogging, swimming, stationary cycling, aerobics, etc.) on a daily basis for 30 to 60 minutes.

  9. Do another 15 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise in the evening, five days per week. This will make your metabolism soar.

  10. Do weight training six days per week.

  11. Try to incorporate interval training into most of your aerobic sessions. This will really boost your metabolism. An interval means adding a brief stint of 1 minute aerobic activity every 10 minutes into your regular exercise routine.

  12. Eat protein in every meal.

  13. Consider cutting back on starchy carbohydrates (corn, potatoes, chick peas, yams, and squash). Cut back on refined breads and crackers.

  14. Don't have any trans-fat.

  15. Try not to have any high fructose corn syrup.

  16. Eat 3 hours before you go to bed.

  17. Eat a lot of fruits and veggies. You should try to have 6-10 servings a day.

I hope I've helped. Let me know if you have any questions.
