How to Speed Up Your Metabolism

• Don't skip breakfast. You will lose weight more quickly if you have a bite to eat in the morning.
• Drink hot water with lemon
• Eat hot meals rather than cold. Your metabolism speeds up very slightly when you eat and again if the food is hot.
• Do at least thirty minutes of cardiovascular exercise, five days a week. This will condition you to burn fat more efficiently.

Don't deprive your body of carbohydrates, no matter what they say.

• You need carbs for energy and will feel terrible without them.
• Wear a pedometer and see that you take 1,000 steps every day.
• If you have a sit-down job, get up every hour and walk around for five minutes or so.
• Dedicate two hours a week to weight training, concentrating on the larger muscles. Every other day is optimal.
