How to boost metabolism?

Hmmm, so if you exercise at night you don't get a metabolism boost? :huh:
Arginine is a nonessential amino acid, your body produces tons of it, and it's in all sources of protein. Watermelon isn't special.
Eating protein does NOT boost metabolism, TEF doesn't work that way.
Cold water being warmed is a negligible calorie burn, maybe 1 calorie a day extra.
Most of this seems to be mythical.
but it's all dr. oz approved!
Yeaaahhh... He's now more of a celebrity than a doctor. Make your own research and find out for yourself. Don't put so much faith on TV people.
I think you missed the sarcasm.0 -
bump! great info.....like you said bonus calories...def is not a shortcut to healthy eating and exercise, but every calorie does count thanks so much0

FISH OIL: EPA and DHA, the omega-3 fatty acids found only in fish oil, may have the power to dramatically boost your metabolism -- by about 400 calories per day, researchers from the University of Western Ontario report. Fish oil increases levels of fat-burning enzymes and decreases levels of fat-storage enzymes in your body. For the best metabolism boosting benefit, choose capsules containing at least 300 milligrams of EPA and DHA total.
I take this for depression. I have, uh, oily stools. I don't know if my body isn't absorbing the pills or other fats I'm eating.
Make sure you are taking the fish oil with a meal and you can also add a digesive enzyme to help your body digest the fish oil...
Thank you (and to the other poster). I know that this is problem in general for people with celiac, but since I have cut out wheat I thought it would stop (though I guess it takes a pretty long time for the gut to heal?).
I started drinking GoodBelly probiotic drink and it helps a lot; it's a pain to get though because they only sell it at one store in my city.0 -

I've been researching different ways of increasing my metabolism so that my net calories are reduced. It definitely matters what you eat and drink. A calorie is not just a calorie! I'm a scientist by profession (although not in anything relevant to weight loss), so I've looked for info that is well justified by scientific experiment.
Here is what I've found. I hope that all of you will add to this list and/or ask good questions that lets us zero in on a great set of techniques for increasing our metabolic rate. For brevity, I've left out sources. If anything is unclear, please ask! Good luck to you!

Boosting metabolism
==========
Exercise in morning increases metabolism for hoursEat small meals every 3 to 4 hours keeps metabolism cranking so you burn more calories over the course of a day.Fiber can rev your fat burn by as much as 30 percent. Studies find that those who eat the most fiber gain the least weight over time. Aim for about 25 g a day—the amount in about three servings each of fruits and vegetables.

Hello, Newbie here
I have tried exercise at all times of the day and find the timing doesn't really make a difference.
I do believe fibre is an important factor and seriously considering going pescitarian(no eating animals except seafood)because the protein in seafood doesn't come with the fat in land based animals.
I lost 140lbs so far and have about another 60 to go.
So,,hello fro British Columbia0 -
.. want to refer back to this ... thanks for the post0

juice of half lemon, slice of ginger, boil water and mix together. Drink like tea first thing in the morning.
That always works for me. I've been doing it for 3 months now and haven't had a coffee since then. Losing inches and lbs.0 -
