It is believed the antioxidant catechins in green tea boost the metabolism and help burn fat.\nChilli sauce & mustard\nThese foods increase your calorie burning capacity by between 5 - 10% for up to 2 hours after eating. This is because they contain capsaicin which speeds the metabolism, so if you enjoy hot food your in luck!\nLow fat diary foods\nCan increase fat burning in the abdominal area. Why?

Jump roping is a great aerobic activity, and will be a great boost to your metabolism in the morning.\nI suggest maybe 5 minutes of stretching, 20 minutes of jump roping, and 5 minutes to cool down. \nWell since your also taking gym class, that will be great too.\nIt's hard to say when you'll be seeing results since everyones body works differently, but I'm sure you'll be able to see your muscles starting to get a bit toned.\n\nJust be patient, and you'll do fine.

To get your metabolism going, eat a nutritious breakfast. Not junk food. Eat healthy. Your body will take care of itself if you eat foods that are good for you. Eat organic if you can. Drink plenty of water. I hope this helps.

Supposedly but it depends how you go about doing it.  For a short fast, it might be good to drink a lot of "cleansing" teas to help remove some of the toxins from your body.  \n\nGenerally it takes about two days to get rid of the superficial toxins, and as your blood sugar drops you'll get headaches and dizziness.  After two days this goes away and you'll feel clear and light, but a little weak. \n\nPast that it's an exercise in pure willpower.  Good for your spirit as well as your body, but not something you should do lightly.

I used to be a trainer at a gym awhile back and what I used to tell my clients is that they would feel their improvements long before they would see them. Little things at first like finding it easier to breathe, pants would fit better, maybe they would be sleeping better. It's important before beginning such a program to gather data like weight, maybe a fat pincher test, take a few measurements, and definetly take pictures. Initially, you'll need this data to keep motivated, but within 2 to 4 weeks you should see some results. Sometimes it's good to have others help with this in the early stages.

Ive found that watching what you eat and combining that with cardiovascular exercise helps to make your metabolism faster :) I went on a mega binge (for about 4 days) after watching what i ate and exercising for about 3 weeks and so far i havent put on any weight. Im putting it down to the fact that my metabolism has quickened helping me to burn the excess calories :)

Essentially, you should probably change your routine to twenty minutes a day, four times a week.  You need to give your body time to warm up and let your heart rate pick up a bit.  Good for you for doing fifteen min. per day though!  When most people start a new exercise routine in conjunction with a good diet, you should begin to see slight results within three to four weeks.  After that, it will happen like rapid fire if you stick to your routine.  Good luck!

1. Increase your metabolism by- \n\nGaining Muscle from lifting weights the more muscle you have the more calories you body burns in a day\n\nDrinking Green Tea or Coffee speed up Heart rate. This is called thermogenics\n\nCardio. King of all.  Cardio can make you burn extra calories all day.  \n\nEat 5 small meals to also increase you metabolism. eating prevents your body from puting itself is starvatiion mode.  When you starve yourself, the body draws energy from other parts of the body mainly muscle. So by eating small meals everyday you constantly keep your body working around the clock.\n\n2.  Diet\nStop eating fried foods. The worst food ever it is cooked in animal fat.\nStop eating junk. Sugar stores as fat.\nMost importantly stop eating empty calories.  Drinks and Some juices or anything you intake that doesn't fill you up but is high in caloric value\nDrink a lot of water to flush out impurities in your body so it can function and rid itself of things than make you gain weight.(it also clears up you skin)\n\n\n\nIf you follow this you will lose on avg. about 2-3% of your body weight each week.

All of these are good answers, but not entirely correct.  Exercise is a GREAT way to raise the metabolism, but not the only way.  Your body is a machine, think of it that way.  Would a machine be considered more efficient if it produced a large amount only three times a day, or smaller amounts 7 times a day?  Obviously the latter of the two.  The more you work your metabolism, the faster it will get.  \n\nIf you only eat 3 large meals per day, you are actually keeping your metabolism at the same rate.  You are requiring it to process large quantities of food at a less frequent period throughout your day.\n\nNow look at it this way, if you were to eat 6 or 7 smaller meals throughout the day, you'd be requiring your body to break down smaller amounts more often, thus speeding up your metabolism.  You'll notice that you don't feel sluggish anymore after eating, you will have more energy throughout the day, and notice that you WILL start losing weight.  Just like a muscle, it's the same theory.  If you lift heavy weight a few times a day, you'll get bulk.  If you lift lighter weight more times a day, you will get tone.  I've been doing this my whole life, and I have never been overweight, and always have a clean bill of health when I go to the doctor.

Dont TRY to get in 30 min a day, DO get in 30 min a day.  No matter what you do for a living/daily, you ALWAYS have 30 min somewhere in your day.  Even if it means getting up 30 min early in the morning.  \n\nTo increase your metabolism, first make sure it's working all the time.  Have 8 full oz of water first thing when you wake up.  That will make you hungry, so make sure you have good protein in your breakfast (I have eggs, you can also do nuts).  Make sure you eat every 2-4 hours and make sure it's something small.  An apple, banana, yogurt, etc.  Stick with fresh fruits and veggies for your snacks if you can.  Make certain youre drinking 64 oz of water per day because you feel hungry less often and cut calories easily that way.  I fill two 32 oz water bottles at the beginning of the day to make sure I drink it all.  It's easy to lose track of a glass here and there.  \n\nGood luck!

A gradual approach by increasing your metabolism will help you long term lose weight and keep it off.\n\nFor any weight loss program its important to understand how to increase your RMR or metabolism.  Your RMR or resting metabolic rate is the amount of energy you burn in your daily activities.  \n\nDo you know someone who can eat anything they want and  they are skinny as a rail even if they dont workout?  Well that person has a very high RMR.\n\nThere are several ways to increase metabolism but lets look at the factors that drive your metabolism RMR first. \n\n1. Genetics - you have very little control, but you are not a prisoner of your genes. \n\n2. Lean Muscle Mass - this one throws most people off because women think, oh no I dont want muscles and men think I guess I have to look like a body builder. Lean muscle mass is simply your weight minus the weight of your organs, bones, fluids and fat. You increase lean muscle mass primarily through eating properly, resistance exercise, and a lifestyle that doesnt promote catabolizing activites (smoking, heavy drinking and drug use)\n\n3. Frequency of meals - the more meals the more the metabolic processes take place in your body and the faster your metabolism.\n\n4. Water Intake - dehydration is a major drag on metabolism.\nMost people are dehydrated and they dont know it.\n\n5. Sleep - getting enough rest allows the body to function at a higher metabolic level.\n\nFor more information check my source.   It tells you more information than you even knew about your metabolism.  It  also goes into greater detail about different ways to speed your metabolism.\n\nhttp://www.jtfit.com/metabolism/

at least 2 weeks...full results in about 8-9 weeks. I used to take it but it made me feel as if i was on speed all day long. honestly, you should just diet and exercise regularly. There is no miracle pill out there. Hydroxycut does help but plain old fashioned working out works the best....but GOOD LUCK!!!
