Metabolism Boosters

Tablets are a waste of money. Drinking more water is said to boost metabolism

Some spices are natural metabolism boosters. Cayenne pepper is one for sure. Sprinkle a little on your food, or I like to put some in a glass of hot water with lemon (I knoww, it sounds weird). Just a small amount is enough to get you going. Ginger, cinnamon, and garlic are others.

What would be a good way to boost my metabolism.....does and one recommend taking tablets to help with this...if yes or no....why?...and if yes...what would you recommend?

THanks

No to tablets or supplements- as Banks said.

LeeAnn- weight training is good for us girls!!! Building muscle is a sure way to boost your metabolism long term!!!:happy:

A Lot of people swear by green tea supplements. I just started taking them and I have noticed a difference. They are at the grocery store and are super cheap. The Mega Green Tea ones are the ones that I got. I don't care what anyone on this site says, I needed a boost and they worked wonders. I was not jittery or light headed, or anything like that, but I have noticed a difference in my metabolism. You may want to give it a shot.

green tea works. have some before you workout but stay away form sugar in it. black tea does too but not as well. theres some chemical in tea that helps with this, i read about it but cant remember what it's called. however, you need A LOT for it to make any difference at all.. so you have to drink it very regularly. its good for alot of other things too, look it up. tea in general is really good for your body.
if you're gonna use caffine, i would use it only right before your workout. that way you get the benefits of what it does to the body. coffee here and there is fine, but using a whole bunch of caffine all the time might not work out the best for your metabolism, and not just because of tolerance (look it up too).
i've heard good things about certain spices and herbs as well, cayanne included (also tumeric)..
anyway, the best thing for your metabolism, as they said, is muscle mass and a healthy lifestyle.
but whatever you do stay away from pills.
