Is there anyway to speed up your metabolism? My metabolism has always been on the slow side and would love for it to increase. Help!!

    Build lean muscle mass with strength training.

    I keep reading about foods that are supposed to help boost your RMR but have yet to see any really credible, objective information (lots of sites trying to sell you a book or supplements etc)

    Make simple changes like;
    ~Replace 1-2 coffees a day with plain green tea, it has caffeine!
    ~Add cayenne pepper to everything possible.
    ~Workout in the morning or early afternoon if possible.
    ~Drink lots of water.
    ~Spinach, apples, yogurt, grapefruit etc... eat lots of fruit and veggies.

    If you want to speed up your metabolism, move more and build muscle. There's no simpler way to put it and no easy way to do it.

    I've been reading lots about strength training burning fat more than cardio does (lean muscle does it), which helped me decide to add more strength type workouts to my full cardio workout plan i've been following.
