Dramatically lower the temperature in your home.  Exercise outdoors when it's cold, especially mornings. Make breakfast your biggest meal of the day. No nutritional intake for two hours before bedtime. Follow the recommended U.S.D.A. food pyramid.  Don't sleep fetal . . .sleep flat on your back with three pillows under your knees. Meditation. Drink LOTS of water. And, walk one mile briskly a day after evening meal. Takes only four - five days to notice a change.

-NEVER starve yourself: this simply slows down your metabolism as it tries to compensate for reduced caloric intake.\n-EAT several small meals and not one big meal. The small meals are like firewood that kindles a fire and keeps it going. Eating one big meal is like throwing a huge log into a small fire and trying to get it going. \n-Eat healthy foods. Sugar and other simple carbohydrates give you a temporary energy boost but you then hit a slump soon afterwards. You want sustained energy that keeps that fire going: eat proteins and complex carbohydrates, and small amounts of healthy fats (like those in olive oil, canola oil, and fish like salmon and tuna).\n-Exercise. Aerobic exercise is great because it boosts your metabolism right away. Never eat right before you exercise. Eat after you exercise because during the two hours after you do aerobic exercise your body is burning more calories, so you put on less weight. (But don't overeat after exercise).\n-Build up muscle mass by doing weight-bearing exercise. The muscle burns twice as many calories at rest than fat cells.

The best way to increase your weight is to always exceed your daily energy requirements. Find out exactly how many calories you burn on a daily basis through an assessment of your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate)& AMR (Active Metabolic Rate). Once you have these numbers, it's simple math. Ensure you are above or consuming more calories than your body burns on a daily basis and you should increase your mass with the appropriate weight training regimen. \n\nhttp://preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/bmr.html\n\nHere are some tips:\n1) always eat a heavy complex carb meal (pasta/rice)at least 1-2 hours before going to sleep.\n2) try weight gainer shakes at your local health food store.\n3) STAY AWAY FROM CARDIO (this really should be a short-term ideally since refraining from cardiovascular exercise can jepordize long-term health). For your purposes in the short-term, cardio will only hamper efforts to gain weight. If you don't have to run then walk, if you don't have to walk then stand, if you don't have to stand then sit, if you don't have to sit then lie down.\n4) weight training (if you are at least intermediate level) should not exceed 8 reps, especially on large muscle groups. Please seek the advice of a professional trainer before proceeding with heavy weights if you are not at least an intermediate level weight trainer. \n5) concentrate on multi joint and power movements such as squats and deadlifts for the largest spike in growth hormone during your workouts (again proceed only under supervision)\n6) never workout more than 90 minutes\n7) track your progress - it's the only way you'll find out what works for you\n8) sleep sleep and more sleep - minimum 9-10 hours to maximize growth.\n9) Drink plenty of water\n10) Creatine - probably one of the best ways to gain weight (if used properly) in the short-term.\n\nHere's a list of weight training exercises to help you:\n\nhttp://preventdisease.com/fitness/Strength_Exercises.html

Walk or run, Drunk alot of water, take in protein, and for added nutrients to help boost your metabolism while exercising take a multivitamin. Make sure to eat small meals throughout the day. Maybe eat a protein bar a couple times throughout the day. Do not starve yourself. If you do, your body will hold on to the fat to protect itself because its being starved.

DDR is cool and can help speed your metabolism but its overall impact is low.\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 ever wanna knew about your metabolism.  It  also goes into greater detail about different ways to speed your metabolism.\n\nhttp://www.jtfit.com/metabolism/

You do because you raise your metabolism and then you are using more energy thoughout the day. I would reccommed eating a bowl of oatmeal and then going for a run, you may want to include a few sprints to really jack your metabolism. Or if you are good at it(can do it without keeping your feet together) try jumping rope

At best they work for a week.\n\nThe best way to increase your metabolism is this:\nBelow I have included an excerpt from my new book The Gracious Diet. This excerpt will give you a brief summarry on the metabolism.\nLet’s talk about metabolism. What is all this media hype about the metabolism? Why is it worthy of grabbing front page headlines in every fitness magazine? \nThe term metabolism, derived from the Greek language, simply means change or transformation. Our metabolism is what turns foods into energy. The higher the metabolic rate, the higher the caloric output. It is a necessary function that allows our bodies to use food and other resources to maintain the working parts, repair damage, heal injury and rid the body of toxins. In other words, metabolism is a necessary process, without which living organisms would die.\nMetabolism aids in digestive function as well as absorption of nutrients. It is most affected by nutrition, hydration and physical activity. Each of these items is an imperative aspect of optimum metabolic health. When any one of these is lacking, the metabolic rate decreases. Consequently, weight loss and weight maintenance are directly related to healthy metabolism.\nWhen does our metabolism work? Well the truth is it’s always working, even when you are sleeping. A well designed fitness program will elevate the metabolic rate. Below are nine closely guarded steps to increasing your metabolic rate.\n1. Eat protein at every meal, including breakfast.\n2. Eliminate wheat- and flour-based products for the time being. And yes, that definitely includes bread and pasta. \n3. Eat unprocessed foods. Ninety percent of what you eat should be a combination of (in this order of importance) raw vegetables, steamed vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and a few fruits. \n4. Reduce starch to one portion a day, and don't eat that portion during your evening meal. Best choices of starches are beans, sweet potatoes, and oatmeal. \n5. Reduce or eliminate dairy for the time being, especially cow's milk. Exceptions: reasonable amounts of low sugar, fat free yogurt. \n6. Lose the booze. Despite what the "studies" say, you lose no health benefits by giving up alcohol (including wine). There is nothing essential in alcohol that you can't get in fruits and vegetables without all the bad side effects that go along with it. \n7. Stop using vegetable oils such as sunflower, safflower and corn. The supermarket kind is highly refined, and it oxidizes easily when heated, contributing to arterial plaque. Use olive oil instead, and apply it to food after the food is cooked when possible. \n8. Watch which types of fat you're eating. The amount of fat you eat is probably less important than the kind of fat you eat. The worst are fried foods, margarine and foods that contain hydrogenised or partially hydrogenised oils. The best is omega-3, found in fish and flaxseed oil. \n9. Obsessively drink water: At least 8 ounces for every 20 pounds of bodyweight you're now carrying around, each day. Everyday. No excuses.

There's a diet that is supposed to boost your metabolism. You eat 900 calories one day, 1200 the next, 1800 the next and repeat. Or something like that. You might try searching the internet to see if you can find the details of it. Sorry I don't remember the name.

B Vitamins from whole grains and complex carbohydrates are good for raising your metabolism. Fish oils, which are rich in EPA & DHA help lower bad cholesterol & raise natural hormones which in turn stimulate metabolism as well. And don't forget to exercise. Exercising improves metabolism and general well-being.

It's summer. Get active. Walk, swim, bike, whatever. Don't focus on weight. Try to build some muscle, which raises your metabolism. Focus on being active and healthy. Make sure to include a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables in your diet while avoiding empty carbohydrates. Eat lean protein, like white turkey or chicken. Eat yogurt. Don't drink sugared sodas. If you make physical activity and important part of your life, you will feel better and look sexier, even if you don't lose a lot of weight.

The best way is to exercise, and eat a low fat AND low carb diet. Eat lean protein, vegetables and drink plenty of water. No soda, and switch to skim milk. Also, take a daily supplement since some vitamins can help you. I have heard from experts that the slim-fast diet is effective, and the new Optima shakes do hold me over for awhile, but I can only stand to drink the vanilla flavor personally, so that gets old. \n\nTry limiting the calories you eat to approx. 1500 or so, and work out. Walk everywhere, if you have the choice of stairs or elevator, take stairs always. park far away from the grocery store and walk it. Do an exercise routine daily, no less then half an hour of cardio every other day mixed with a work out like pilates to gain lean muscle (which boosts your metabolism). I lost 30 pounds in two months by sticking to a somewhat strict diet (if you deprive yourself every day, it is hard to stick to) Experts now say have one day a week you can splurge a little to make it easier, and the rest of the week, stick to a strict diet. \n\nA sample day for me is:\n\nBreakfast: Slim-Fast shake and fruit or, Yogurt and strawberry Oatmeal made with skim milk and no suger. Green tea with honey helps boost your metabolism to some say. \n\nLunch: Salad, Fruit, lean meat like a chicken breast sandwich (Subway might be a good place to go if you eat out often). Water to drink. \n\nDinner: Lean meat and vegetable. Cook in olive oil preferably, it is better for you. \n\nSnacks: Fruit, low-fat yogurt, those 100 calories packs, low-fat pudding (this stuff is a life saver on days I need sweets) and anything less the 200 calories. Experts say you should eat something every 4 hours to maintain your metabolism, but make them light snacks, not potato chips and cookies.\n\nFor the fun part, add a work out a night. Mix it up though. Try to get in at least a half hour of working out. I use the Carmen Electra Stripaerobics tapes, they are fun, or I choose to dance or swim for cardio. Then I do pilates on alternate days.

The first exercise I would recommend is aerobics. \nBuy The Step. Target has them, and other stores.\nWhen you wake up, step up and down 5-15 minutes.\nBefore you go to bed, step up and down for another 5-15 minutes.\n\nThis exercise will get your metabolism up as well as your emotions up. There will be further exercises you can do, but this will get you started. Write to me if you want to discuss further exercises.

Do not skip any meals \nExercise daily \nBuild your muscles \nAvoid alcohol, sugar, and fastings \nDrink 8-10 glasses of water daily. \nEat foods with high nutrition values \nSome over the counter pills for speeding up the metabolism are available that contain animal thyroid. You should not take these products as these may have side effects as diarrhea, increased heart rate, excessive sweating, nervousness, tremors, bulging eyes, etc \n\nBe physically active.In an activity like walking, bowling, dancing or playing golf, the energy you expand is greater if you have more weight to move around. A 140 pound man who walks 3 miles in an hour burns 220 calories as compared to a person of 110 pound, who burns only 180 cal going the same pace.\nmore tips are at http://www.negativecaloriefoods.com/metabolism.html

I have heard that the best foods that speed up metabolism is anything high in protein (fish, chicken, eggs, tuna, cottage cheese, lean meat).  Of course, you should check with your doctor before going on any type of diet. Good luck!

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.
