Eat several ( 5 to 6 ) small meals a day rather than waiting long periods and having larger meals. The reason for this is that by eating regularly you will keep your metabolism consistently active. Having long periods between meals will have a negative effect because the metabolism will slow down to save energy as it senses that you are been starved.

First you should never take any pills that claim to accelerate your metabolism as these have proven side effects which can cause permanent damage to your metabolism if taken for an extended period of time. As for exercising this is only a temporary solution as the effects will wear off within a few hours. So unless you are interested in constantly running around to keep your heart rate up and your metabolism burning calories you may want to consider the alternative. Eating the right foods and eating them at the right time is the best way to constantly keep your metabolism running at a higher rate and thus constantly burning calories.

To boost your metabolism, it's essential that you eat more than 1000 calories a day. If you eat less, hoping that you'll lose weight faster, your body won't let you. It will go into starvation mode, hoarding each calorie. This is one of the major reasons that dieters plateau - and some dieters even put on weight on a diet.

Cut back on all sugary foods, this includes sugar in your coffee. Sugar drastically slows down your metabolism. Sleep at least 7 hours at night. A good night's sleep and a well rested body will boost your metabolism for the entire day.

Another factor that affects your metabolism is stress. When you are stressed your metabolism released cortisol which can cause your metabolism to slow down. If you are feeling stressed remember to take deep breaths and try to calm yourself down. Boosting your metabolism will greatly help you to lose weight and burn calories all day long.
