So I am sure this has been covered a few thousand times but any help for a female looking to boost metabolism would be appreciated.

The only thing i know of is exercise. There are no pills and potions that will increase your metabolism.

Exercise and adding muscle. But honestly being active as much as you can helps the most.

The best thing you can do would be to focus on maintaining a high level of activity.

The majority of energy expenditure differences from person to person are likely due to differences in non exercise activity thermogenesis which is basically the energy expenditure associated with activity that isn't exercise.

Get up out of your chair often.
Consider taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
Park further from buildings so you have to walk further.
Consider wearing a step tracking device so you can track footsteps and use that as a substitute for activity.

You can put your body into fat burning mode. To kick up your metabolic rate you need to made certain changes in your lifestyle. Most important of all, you should be drinking 8-10 glasses of water daily. All the meals should be taken early and high dietary fibers should be the part of it. Red pepper, turmeric and cinnamon are some of the spices that elevates your metabolic rate naturally.

Also, remember the more calories you take the more muscles you will be able to burn.

those foods dont make enough of a difference in a persons metabolism. its very small you would have to consume a high quantity of these foods to even see a difference and then it would possibly be toxic amounts. the more calories you take the more muscles you will be able to burn? what do you mean by that?

Dear @secretsinhealth4u : there is no secret to boosting metabolism. No food you eat, supplements you take, or meal timing will make any useful difference in metabolism. As stated above, increasing muscle mass and activity are pretty much it without taking extremely dangerous illegal drugs.

You could get hyperthyroidism, but I don't recommend it. Or a fever. Anything that could increase your resting metabolic rate enough to make a difference in weight loss is going to have serious side effects and could be fatal. Remember Metabolife (ephedra)? It could increase metabolism and killed at least 155 people before it was taken off of the market.

Moving more is the best way to boost calorie burn. It doesn't have to be strenuous exercise, just move.

I guess I should have specified better. I am not looking to take a pill. I don't believe in weight loss pills, boosters, or anything that says detox. I read an article with studies done saying that eating organic foods helps boost your metabolism because the pollutants from pesticides you ingest can be stored in fat cells. So the theory is people who ingest the pollutants experience a drop on metabolism as they lose weight because toxins interfer with the energy burning process.

I am not arguing that this study is absolutely correct and I feel I don't have the data to defend it BUT I posed my oringinal post question to see if there were other ways I may not know about.

This is false. Also, organic produce still has pesticides on it

When you test synthetic chemicals for their ability to cause cancer, you find that about half of them are carcinogenic.

Until recently, nobody bothered to look at natural chemicals (such as organic pesticides), because it was assumed that they posed little risk. But when the studies were done, the results were somewhat shocking: you find that about half of the natural chemicals studied are carcinogenic as well.

This is a case where everyone (consumers, farmers, researchers) made the same, dangerous mistake. We assumed that "natural" chemicals were automatically better and safer than synthetic materials, and we were wrong. It's important that we be more prudent in our acceptance of "natural" as being innocuous and harmless.

and here's a good overview-

No to all of this.
