Are there any foods to boost metabolism?

Greek yogurt! I swear by it. I like chobani best best they have flavors like honey. Check out our blog http://tribejames.wordpress.com/ or donate to the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation, a great cause http://goo.gl/c3SZq

think of your metabolism as your engine. IF you're trying to get top speed out of a car filled with water, your engine will soon be destroyed. So basically if you eat transfats which are plastic to your arteries ( mono and diglycerides and also hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated fats)and you consume acidic sodas which suck life out of your bones and organs and you dont eat fiber to stay regular and your idea of veggies is cooked with butter, you should expect a sluggish metabolism. And if you are eating healthy but still no luck, try 1 week water fast and or afterwards doing colonics and enemas and then a jucie fast. Most likely you may alergic to something and the toxic buildup is eating all the vitamins in your intestines therby not allowing you to reap the benefits

pure aloe vera blended with water maybe a little lemon or giner each morning will give you energy. ALso no soda no energy drinks and no fast food or processed meats, no pork, low sodium, and no transfats or hydrogenated foods. Water daily and eat 5 veggies and 5 fruits daily. IF cant eat, then juice.

There are no foods that will increase your metabolism. Substances like caffeine or caffeine supplements will increase your metabolism, but that mainly happens during workouts and I'm talking about weight lifting not cardio. Now eating healthy or limiting carbs, protein, salt, and fat to just the right amount your body needs will keep your metabolism from slowing down. Health and fitness is always a double standard its easy to gain weight and slow down your metabolism.

Fast metabolisms go hand in hand with muscle. Try moderate weight lifting 2-3 times a week to build some muscle endurance (you won't bulk up if you use moderate weight and moderate reps). Help your muscles with lean proteins like eggs and chicken, and healthy fats like olive oil and avocado(remembering that fat burns fat and protein sustains muscle). Stay hydrated by drinking lots of water to keep your system flushed and running strong!

Yes there are few remedies for that. Try eating prunes, empty stomach in the morning. Another remedy I use is, I soak 5 dried plums and 5 tamarind pieces overnight in a glass of water. In morning I just drain it drink it, without sugar. It also helps blood pressure. But dont try any of these in excessively.

should this cup of coffee with skimmed milk add up calories and spoil the diet?

I heard hot peppers like habaneros can boost your metabolism a bit. If you can stand the heat! They are a little too hot for me. I'd rather work out. Exercise, especially strength training, works really well for me. And you don't have to bulk up like a bodybuilder (unless you want to) to give your metabolism a kick.

This information is very helpful, seeing as everyone has a tip on what to eat to boost metabolism. Seems as if everyone wants the easy answer that doesn't include the word exercise. * Note for Fitness Editor: Madelyn Fernstrom, Ph. D., is from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC).

I tried adding cayenne pepper to each of my meals. If you can handle the spice, it helped for me!
