metabolism boosters

Here are a few ways to boost your metabolism to burn 25-50 more calories per day. This may not seem like much but it really adds up over time.
-chili peppers: They can boost calorie burning, so add tabasco sauce or chili peppers to recipes like chili or soups.
-cold water: Your body burns calories heating it up (you can burn up to 100 calories for 2 liters water); and being dehydrated slows metabolism.
-green tea: Three cups per day increases fat loss, and total calories burned per day.
-coffee is ok: Caffeine does increase metabolism slightly and can really improve workouts, helping you work harder and burn more calories (just don’t add tons of sugar and milk – this will cancel out any calorie burning increase).
-build muscle: Each pound of muscle burns an extra 35-50 calories per day. So hit those weights at home or at the gym at least 2 times per week, and make sure you eat plenty of lean protein.
-interval train: You can burn up to 1.5 times the calories in the same amount of time by alternating high intensity spurts (1 min) and lower intensity recovery periods (1-2 min), during a 20-30 minute workout.
