Meh, not REALLY. IT ITSELF does not speed up youR metabolism; but just the fact that you aRe consuming caffeine may hypen you up some.. so you might be moRe active.. and THAT buRns off them pesky caloRies; not the actual caffeine ITSELF, you see? :) Hope I helped!!

It may increase your metabolism very very slighty but not sufficiently enough for you to expect it to help you lose weight.

ok this might be devastating (i thought it was)
THERE IS NO FOOD ON EARTH OR UNIVERSE THAT CAN FAST UP YOUR METABOLISM!!!
no spicy food or anything
and it had been proven by science and all that
and i saw that from health section on my magazine (ya know teen ones... seventeen and cosmo)
only exercising can fast up your metabolism for temperirly ...
so i gave up on looking for food that speed up the metabolism and went back to exercising
and its working great...
except i gotta quit snacking =)
hope this helped~

In a way, yes, caffeine does sort of speed up your body. In fact, it acts a lot like those speed boosts in racing video games--for a little while, your metabolic rate and body functions go faster than they would normally.
However, unlike those speed boosts, caffeine has side effects. If you consume a high quantity of caffeine in a short period of time, when it wears off, you will "crash" and get tired. I speak from experience.
Caffeine is a drug, and while it has some positive effects, it has negative ones too. Just be careful, and make sure to eat extra healthy if you drink a lot of caffeine products or coffee. After all, most caffeinated drinks are just empty calories, with no nutritional value.
EDIT: For the record, the effects of caffeine only last a few hours.
