The wikihow article on "how to increase your metabolism" says no food can influence your metabolism, only age, gender and weight. It does however recommend to drink ice cold water. I don't know how much truth there is to that, so I'd be interested to hear other people's experiences.0

Food and timing of food doesnt affect your metabolic rate. Increasing lean muscle does. Strength training can lead to burning a few extra calories due to the repairing process.0

Dr. Oz is full of crap most of the time and pushes products based on who pays the bills. I wouldn't listen to 90% of what he says.0 -
Metabolism/ Fat-burning increased when muscle in body increases.
Protein helps build muscle.
So i have heard....0 -
A hearty healthy breakfast 1 portion carb, 1 healthy fats, and 1 protein.
A black cup of coffee, green tea, white tea
Cold water right when you wakeup0 -
Green tea and lots of vegetables and foods high in protein0

No such thing.0

Cherry, no offense but "kick-start your metabolism" sounds like a great subject for spam. It's a buzzphrase that has absolutely no bearing on reality. There is no such thing as a food that can change your metabolism. Your metabolism is dictated by your age, genetics, and body composition. There are subtle ways in which you can influence it, by eating more or less, but the idea that any one food can change your metabolism (enough to notice) is erroneous.0

apparently spicey foods like cayenne pepper gets your metabolism going. Try a couple of sprinkles in your morning tea or on eggs.0
-
breakfast, meals every two hours, lean muscle mass, cayenne pepper,
any food that can help improve the help of your thyroid can help. i.e- kelp, seaweed, amino acid foods like eggs, cod liver oil, vitamin a foods, dulce, etc.
drinking cold water may not specifically speed up your metabolism, but it does burn a few extra cals. you can burn 70 extra cals a day.
eat protien, but not fatty protien.
and green tea i hear.0 -

Myth, myth, myth.. not trying to be mean. But a lot of what you're posting is simply not true.0 -
There is no such thing as "kickstarting" your metabolism, however the less you eat over a long period of times slows your metabolism . Eating more at regular intervals of 2 - 3 hours HELPS your metabolism run more efficiently but day to day activities like drinking cold water in the morning isn't going to make it run any faster that day. Your metabolism is very complex and runs off of hormones. Last time I checked drinking ice water has no effect on hormones.0

this person obivously appreciate the info she gets from Doc. oz so it might be respectful to keep your opinions toy our self. you know what mother says " if you cant say anything nice dont say it at all"0

A healthy protein/carb/fat ratio breakfast and good old plain green tea. Exercise with your heart rate in your zone will keep your metabolism pumping well after your finished working out. Good luck0

All I can say, from my experience, is eat throughout the day with healthy foods and drink plenty of water. I drink at least 8 glasses of water each day, eat 5-6 times a day every 2 1/2-3 hours, take in a lot of protein and consume the recommended amount of calories each day. My metabolism sky rockets everytime I do.0

You do no one any favors by allowing them to fall for falsehoods about weight loss. I try to be respectful by being honest, not telling people what they want to hear.0 -

If you told me that you enjoyed playing in traffic, am I being nice, or mean, by telling you to stop?
I vote that I am being nice. I am doing you a favor, even though you may enjoy playing in traffic. You just might not see it that way.0 -
Getting the balance of your diet greater in protein and lesser in carbs and fat. Also eat smaller amounts more regularly throughout the day. That should kickstart your metabolism.0
