Metabolism Boosters Kick your cardio into high gear. Your metabolism may stay revved up to five times longer after a vigorous aerobic workout than after an easy one.
Spicy food. A few small studies from Japan have shown that eating a fiery red pepper-spiced meal may boost metabolism up to 30 percent. One downside: They used a lot of red pepper--between 5 and 6 teaspoons per meal.
Sip green tea. In a study from Switzerland, 6 out of 10 men who took a green tea supplement (the equivalent of 1 cup of green tea) three times a day with their meals, burned about 80 more calories during the following 24 hours than those who took a caffeine pill or a dummy pill. The researchers believe that flavonoids in the tea were responsible for the metabolism boost.
Have a cup of java. The amount of caffeine (about 135 mg) in an 8-oz cup of brewed coffee is enough to raise your metabolism for more than 2 hours. Drinking it before a workout may give you an extra kick. Caffeine may help free stored fat, so your body can burn it for energy as you exercise. (If you have high blood pressure, avoid caffeine before exercise.)
Metabolism Busters Eat too few calories. When you deprive your body, it thinks you're stuck on Survivor island. The result: Your metabolism slows so you don't have to resort to eating rats to stay alive.
Skip breakfast. According to one study, not eating breakfast may cause your resting metabolic rate to dip by 5 percent--a small decline, but one that may creep up to a 10-lb weight gain in a year's time.
