    There's no way or need to jump start your metabolism. Turning food into energy and then using it is simply cellular respiration.

    Your metabolism doesn't need a "jump start". Eat in a calorie deficit, log accurately, do exercise you feel comfortable with, and the weight will come off.

    @malibu927 is right. It's your first day, read some of the stickies in this forum and have some patience.

    There is no magic bullet; eat less and move more. This article is great at explaining 'metabolism'. Good luck on your new journey.
    Log your food daily and get some exercise and you'll succeed. :)

    Start by forgetting *everything* you think you know about Metabolism .

    HINT: It doesn't work like that.

    No need, your metabolism works all on its own. :)

    Just eat at a calorie deficit, be patient, and live you life.
