Things to eat/drink that speed up metabolism?

[mydestiny]

I was also trying to increase my metabolism and got lot of advises.
I thought of presenting them as a poem.
Hope you all like it.

Wake up early morning and go for run,
Come back and eat breakfast with more salad and a energy drink for fun,
Go to your work and have a black coffee,
And if you don't like the taste then have green tea with a small toffee.
Drink water as you have never done before,
And it will do magical changes that you have not known before.
Eat food more times, six is the best,
Add a bit spice to it to do the rest.
Avoid fast food they are junk,
And if you want to eat try to have only a chunk.
Increase your metabolism is not a easy thing,
But if you follow my steps you will always win, win, win..

Do you believe your metabolism is slow? Or are you hoping for an above average metabolism to burn fat? Boosting your metabolism unnaturally high is not very safe. If it's slow, the most effective is going to be undoing whatever is making it slow.

There are a few things that help a little beyond that, but lets start with the basics first.

Eat six healthy small meals a day and exercise once a day for about 45 minutes also drink eight cups of water a day. This should speed up your metabolism, as it did for me! :)

Take some B12 every morning and pick up a weight lifting routine.

Ah, I have noon then, I don't need to speed up my metabolism.

Being active increases metabolism. As far as food, eat a complete (protein, good carbs, fats, etc.) meal consistently.

Divide your meals in 6 instead of 3 times a day.
That'll boost up your metabolism gradually.

Lift weights, heavy ones rather than less heavy ones.

Eat once a day, eat only protein and animal fats, including dairy products
