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/

Try eating HEALTHY every 4 to 5 hours. This will keep the metabolism up. Also, don't eat if you're NOT hungry. Add activity into your life as well. Take the stairs instead of elevators (if it's not too many flights), go out and play intead of sitting in the house. take up a sport that you like or think you could grow to like (if you keep it up through high school, it could get you a scholarship). Mainly be active and know your body. Don't eat too much or too often. There's nothing wrong with not clearing your plate or saying "No, I'm not hungry." The first couple of times your family may look at you like you're sick or crazy (mine did), but they'll get used to it. And you're doing something better for yourself. You'll enjoy the benefits of being healthier for a long time to come. But remember, you're not going to lose 100 pounds or anything crazy like that. Take it slow, believe me it's much better and long lasting if you just transition to a healthy lifestyle instead of crashing. Also, have discipline and set a goal. There are 12 weeks in the summer, plus May and June before you go to middle school. You can only lose 2 pounds a week the healthy way so a good goal would be 40 pounds and that's pretty damn good for one summer. So good luck and take it slow and be healthy. Hope this helps, hope you got this far down to the bottom. Sorry it was so long. But I know how it is to be overweight, and to lose it. Good Luck!!

Drink lots of water\nPortion control is a HUGE thing. Way bigger then most people realize. Just cut everything you eat in half.\n\nWalk...if you can walk everywhere you go then do it. If you must drive park as far away as you can and walk to the building.\n\nDon't sit still encourage your body to move...even just by bouncing your legs etc while sitting at the desk. This stimulates your metabolism.\n\nEat healthy snacks and do not skip meals.\n\nGood luck!

Eat breakfast.  Not right away, but wake up early, exercise for a bit, then eat an hour after you have woken up.  That way, you give your metabolism a jump start.  Go to work.  HAve a midmorning snack.   Then have lunch.  Then have a afternoon snack.  Then have dinner.  Then have a small but healthy desert.  Make sure your snacks are something healthy and not full of fat(peanutbutter and crackers, cheese, fruit, yogurt, lowfat cottage cheese, veggies...those are some of my favorites).  The idea is to eat more frequently, but healthier and less at each meal.  Don't pic out.  You shouldn't eat because you are bored and you shouldn't eat until you are full.  You should only eat until you are satisfied.  Drink lots of water.  Most people eat because they think they are hungry, but they really have such a weak thirst reflex that their body doesn't know how to interpret thirst so they eat.  If you follow this plan and you are still hungy, try drinking a big glass of water.  You should lose weight.  Good luck!

If y ou're under 18 eat more vegetables and fruit. Walk at least 1 mile a day. If you're 20-30 pray you can look at food and get fat. The metabolism slows down for women especially at the age of 22. I'm 30 years old I started fasting 3 days out of the week W-F and during the week I drink a large glass of water b4 I eat so I will not over do it. I only eat sweets during my cycle which is once a month. By then I deserve them but at the same time they're low calorie snacks and ice cream. Get more active Im not saying you will get a six pack or anything which really looks unattractive on women but it will not be flabby and If I recall that's your goal.

Try these tips to put your metabolism into overdrive\n\nGet pumped\n\nThe body bums calories in its muscle cells, so the more muscle you have, the more calories you'll use up--even at rest. And you shouldn't worry that building more muscle will make you look like Vin Diesel. "We don't have the amount of testosterone guys have to get that big," says Ann Yelmokas McDermott, Ph.D., a nutritionist and research scientist at Tufts University. Cardiovascular exercise will also help you burn fat and build more lean muscle. (For examples of interval-and-strength-training exercises that can increase your metabolism, see the fitness story, "Go for the Burn.")\n\nDon't skip meals\n\nIf you go long periods of time without eating, your body will try to conserve energy by burning fewer calories, says Cynthia Sass, a registered dietician and spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. And skipping meals "sets you up to be overhungry later on," adds Madelyn H. Fernstrom, Ph.D., director of the Weight Management Center at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Instead try to nibble on small meals throughout the day. Nibbling will help keep you full while you're waiting for lunch and dinner, which could stop you from overeating. And in addition to getting all your meals in, avoid extreme diets that call for serious calorie cutting--they can actually reduce your basal metabolic rate (BMR) by up to 30 percent.\n\nDrink plenty of water\n\n"Lack of water can slow the metabolic rate," says John Acquaviva, Ph.D., professor of Health and Human Performance at Roanoke College in Salem, Virginia. "Since water is the body's most important nutrient, the liver will turn its concentration to water retention instead of doing other duties, such as burning fat." Dehydration can also be mistaken for hunger, so if you're thirsty you may end up eating more.\n\nGo for protein\n\nEating protein stimulates the center of the brain, which regulates hunger and fullness, so you feel more satisfied than when you eat carbs, says Fernstrom. And according to Foster, proteins give your metabolic rate a slight boost so you burn more calories eating them.\n\nIncrease your intake of low-fat dairy\n\nA 2002 study that observed Black women found that the higher their calcium intake was, the lower the measure of their body fat. Some researchers believe that high calcium diets--about three servings of low-fat dairy a day--may help suppress a hormone that slows the breakdown of fat cells and instructs them to make even more fat. A 2003 Journal of Nutrition study also found that some of the other nutrients in dairy may help in the reduction of body weight and body fat.\n\nHave breakfast\n\nStudies have shown that people who eat breakfast lose more weight than people who don't. Why? Your body slows down when you sleep and doesn't speed back up again until you put some fuel in it. Eating breakfast may also make you less likely to snack throughout the day. But that doesn't mean you should reach for a plate of bacon and eggs. Choose plenty of fruit and whole grains instead. Fiber is a particularly good breakfast bet because it will leave you feeling full longer.\n\nCut back on alcohol\n\nNot only are alcoholic beverages high in empty calories, but drinking can also lower your inhibitions, Fernstrom says, making it easier to say yes to all those fattening foods you might otherwise take a pass on.

You're young, your metabolism will be easy to boost. First you need to increase your activity. Put on the radio and dance, ride your bike, anything to get that heart rate up and keep it there for at least 30 minutes. You gotta do this everyday. And you don't need to diet honey. You just need to use common sense when you eat. Cut out the sugar. You know sweets aren't good for you. Eat the stuff you know is. Yogurt, fruits, veggies. I know it sounds like it sucks, but right now at this age you are building toward future habits. If you correct it now, you won't have to struggle with this your whole life.

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!

Eat breakfast as this kick starts your metabolism, plenty of water, fruit and veg. Sounds dull but it's what our body is designed to work with.

You can kick start your metabolism by increasing your anaerobic threshold, (AT). This means using cardiovascular excersises like running outside, or on a treadmill. Walking fast, or any cardio machine at a club. By increasing your body's ability to more effeciently utilize oxygen, you are training it to burn more sugar and fat. To prevent injury, though, start slow! Reducing your caloric intake and increasing your cardiovascular excersises will both help to increase your metabolism.
