Kick start Metabolism

-8 cups of water

-Spices (add 1 tablespoon of red pepper flakes, etc)

-Build muscle (burns more calories while resting than fat)

-Aeroic exercise, rev up metabolism in the hours after a workout

-Caffeine (black coffee)

-Snacks between meals

-Protein (lean beef, turkey, fish, white meat chicken, tofu, nuts, eggs, low fat dairy products)

-Green tea (combined benefits of caffeine and caechins, one or two cups may push the body to burn 17% more calories than normal during exercise for a short period of time)

*Avoid crash diets* (1000 calories a day) dropping "pounds" fast = losing muscle. The lower your muscle mass = slower your metabolism. Result = your body burns calories slower and gains weight faster than before you started a crash diet.

-Work out in the morning, boost metabolism for the rest of the day
