Foods to kickstart my metabolism
Replies

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

http://www.doctoroz.com/episode/body-type-diet-weight-loss-solutions-every-shape Dr.Oz has some good info on his site about gearing the type of diet with your body type. They were the hunter and farmer types. Check it out.
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.

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

Its not an opinion when you can prove the majority of his information wrong. As a person that spends a lot of time on this board helping people, i find its important to tell people to listen to studies and research not wack tv stars. And i tell my wife the same stuff.0 -

That person is free to quote advice from Doctor Oz, and others are free to say that that advice is wrong and Dr Oz is an idiot. We don't have to keep our opinions to ourselves any more than you do.0 -

If you can show many any legitimate studies that show that these increase the metabolism, I will think otherwise. But I have yet to see a none bias study (such that of the NIH) that would agree with this.0 -
OP, there are foods that have been shown to help in this area but in such small amounts that you would probably drive yourself crazy trying to get an appreciable difference. Green tea and spicy foods are two that are promoted most often. If you like these foods, enjoy. If you don't, don't worry about it. Building muscle will help with your at rest calorie burn. You may want to ask in the fitness forum--it may be HIIT that I am thinking of, but I have read about doing some form of cardio that keeps your at rest calorie burn boosted for a period of time after exercising.0
