The only time your metabolism was ever jump started (significantly changed instantly) is when you were conceived.

Changing your metabolic rate takes a lot of time and effort, usually by changing your body composition so that you have more muscle. Weight training will help you build muscle; cardio training will help your body build endurance (which helps with weight training).

Each pound of fat mass on your body burns about 2 calories per day. Muscle mass burns about 13 calories per day. Gaining 5 pounds of muscle will let you burn an extra 455 calories per week. An extra 5 pounds of muscle is barely visible on an adult, so it's not like you'd be getting bulky.

i heard drinking a few cups of green tea each day will jump start it, sounds like rubbish but i've been drinking jasmine green tea nearly every day (only one cup) and i had 2 binge days last week and still managed to lose weight, other than that exercise, and a binge day every now and then

The above suggestions are good. I just got Jillian Michaels Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism dvd which is mostly cardio. I bought it off of amazon.com but I'm sure you can find it on youtube for free.

Other methods are gimmicks.

If your metabolism is truly slow, make sure that there isn't a medical reason (thyroid, etc.).
