Ways to speed up my metabolism?
There are an awful lot of long answers to an easy question. So, here's the answer, and I speak from experience, as I've done this. Eat a very light breakfast. I would eat one slice of toast, very little jam, just enough for flavor and "no" butter on it. I would drink a glass of milk with Ovaltine. For lunch a salad with a fat free dressing or just snack on carrots and Wheatable Crackers. Love those things too. And drink some juice or water. I would snack, but when I did, it was on carrot sticks or fruit. For dinner, I would just eat very lightly. A couple of bites. Just enough so I would not feel hungry. And the one other thing I did....is walk. I would walk about 30 minutes 2 times a day. Each week I would walk faster and further without walking longer, eventually getting to the point that I was almost jogging, but at the very least, I would be speed walking. Always walk. Eat less, don't eat until you are full, try to cut out all the following foods, and I can tell you it's not easy, I know, because this did as well, so here's the list: no pizza, hamburgers, french fries, cake, cookies, candy, ice cream, fried chicken, and anything else of this sort. And walk, walk, walk. Oh and just so you know, when I started doing this, it was in the month of March of 2002 and I was a size 14/16. By October of 2002, I was a size 6. So, it can be done. Good luck and best wishes. Oh, I almost forgot, the only way to speed up your metabolism, is through exercise. Please don't use diet pills of any types. They are not safe. They just had a massive recall of some because it killed people. You never know for sure what's in them. They can be very dangerous and they don't do what they say they will do. Just walk and you'll be just fine.

How do I speed up my (teenage) metabolism?
Hi, You could start your day off with a healthy smoothie: e.g. 2 bananas, an peeled apple (or not peeled), some pieces of pineapple, and a mandarine or two. Add some ice-cubes for a more refreshing taste and blend it all up. This can be your breakfast in the morning. Already, you're starting you're day off with 5,6 or 7 helpings of fruit! All that fibre is bound to speed up your metabolism... Drinking green tea, I use Lemongrass flavoured green tea, its actually not that bad when it's luke warm. Green tea is very good, antioxidants, weightloss, metabolic rates, etc. For lunch you could have a sandwich or whatever, brown bread is good for your metabolism. For dinner, you could have a chicken curry (if you like chicken). Curries, and spicy food in general is good for your metabolism. Then for an evening snack you could have maybe a half a pint of a smoothie (you might make extra during the morning)... Walking is very good for making your bowels move (sorry if that's not an image you want..but it is)... All exercise is. If not of that works, you could buy some 'FibreSure' and add it to your teas, coffees, etc. And snack on carrotts, mandarines etc during the day... Good luck!
