    Your metabolism is likely the same as most peoples.

    Eating a lot will speed up your metabolism but would be counter productive.

    Doing strength training will increase your calorie output throughout the day.

    Eat.
    And eat the proper type of thermogenic foods.

    High protein and fat when losing weight.
    High protein and carbs on workout days.

    When cutting fat youll want to workout less.
    So maybe 3 days max a week for about an hour or less.

    Once you get into maintenance you can workout more.

    I've always been told eating small meals every 2hrs will speed up your metabolism. IDK if it's true or not, but it's what I do. I do 200-300calorie meals/snacks every 2 hours - 6 times a day. I never go below 1200 calories total a day, and I never go above 1500.

    I pretty much just run a alot, but starting to incorporate weights into my overall fitness plans. Ive lost a bunch now looking to tone things up. All I can say is stay active find something you like and stick with it. It all burns calories. And I try to eat clean or limit my processed foods.

    Meal frequency has no effect on metabolic rate. But some people cannot get in their caloric intake goals in only 3 meals a days so eating more frequently works for them.

    The best way, I have found to lose weight is have big meals in the morning- should be the biggest meal of the day. Heaps of protein , kanga bangas are really good and high in protein with vegs. Only 70 calories per one sausage!! SNACK everything 2-3 hours throughout the day, such as a banana ect. Lunch should be the second biggest meal of the day, wrap, or salad. Protein in every meal will help weight loss! And dinner should be the smallest meal of the day, as you're most likely not going to be active that much at night. Hope this helps :) and goodluck!! Xx

    Exercise is your best bet. There are certain foods that will boost it slightly for a short period of time, but a combination of aerobic exercise and strength training is the best path to a faster metabolism.

    Or you could gain a lot of weight. The heavier you are, the faster your metabolism.

    Meal timing and size doesn't effect metabolism. By the way, even during a cut, my largest meal is dinner, usually past 7 pm :-)

    I am glad you found something that works for you, but I even more glad that this isn't necessary for everyone. I eat more than 1/2 my daily calories at night. More than 1000 calories usually and about an hour before I go to bed. I am rarely hungry in the morning.

    Cardio and resistance has worked for me. 30 day shred is a great video esp when running short on time

    Strength training. A muscular body burns more calories. But there's likely nothing "wrong" with your metabolism. Excess calories not burned will eventually make you overweight. It's not "normal" to be able to eat loads of excess calories through junk food and never gain weight. Today, we may see that as fortunate or lucky, but that's not how most bodies work. If it was, a majority of the population wouldn't be obese. Most overweight people are actually burning more calories than their thin counterparts, but they are also eating much more calories which causes them to stay overweight or continue gaining weight.

    Eat healthy, stay active, avoid crash diets, and hit the gym for strength training.

    I have recently joined a clean eating plan, and over 1000+ girls have lost 10 kilos in 4-10 weeks or less. Eating at night, isn't going to do you any good as all the food will turn into fat.. Think about it people. Each to their own though :)

    if you REALLY want to hasten it, get some cocaine or meth. :laugh:

    lift weights. eat a high protein, high fat, moderate carb diet. stay away from breads and pastas.

    Most people I've dealt with that claim to have slow metabolisms exercise like they are on a stroll through the garden. Train intense. That is all.

    how is the food going to turn into fat because its night time? if there is a calorie deficit, it doesnt matter what time it is, the food will nto turn into fat. if there is an abundance, it will.

    Nonsense!! I don't need to think about it, I only need to look in the mirror. I met my goal last year and have maintained since, all while eating big dinners at night.

    Too many people think their metabolism has slowed/crashed, for most this is not the case.
    You can get a general idea to see if your metabolism is optimal, by taking a measurement of your core body temperature.
    Using an under the tongue thermometer or a digital ear canal thermometer. 36.8 - 37 degrees is optimal.

    Goggle "metabolism and body temperature"

    This myth doesn't die. I should be obese then. I eat well after 11pm at night EVERY night. And I don't work swings or at night.

    If you aren't moving, you will not burn off your food, which means at night your obviously less active at night, unless you are a night owl. That's just my opinion and I think it's common sense :) most people on here will prob lose more weight if they eat less at night.

    Good for you and well done, it's just my opinion and to me personally common sense. Works for many people! Sorry if I offended you.
