woahhbaby answered Sunday December 9 2007, 12:28 pm: Fasting is not a way to do it! But i asked my doctor this question before! He said that most people should eat five meals a day. The portions have to be small! It's not like the big three meals a day. It's important for your stomach to be continuously digesting!
It may be hard if you're in school, but bring crackers or something and eat during class! Make sure you ask your teacher if that's ok!
Just remember 4-5 small meals!
also, this is what causes LOW metabolism.
-fasting
-if your on a low calorie diet for a long period of time
-if you eat too much sugarr
-and if you dont excersize.
so check to see if your doing any of that
but basically, excersizeing is reallyyyy important! [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]

Professor_Kaos answered Sunday December 9 2007, 6:19 am: There are lots of ways to boost your metabolism, but also some you should try to avoid. Don't turn to things like cigarettes to do it. It works a little but the bad far outweighs the good. Also try to stay away from drugs if you can. One of the best ways to do it is to eat every several hours. For girls it is about every 3 hours and for guys every 5. When you eat it raises it so you should eat at least a little right after you wake up. If you don't do this your metabolism will slow until you eat again. Some foods raise it. Several servings of green tea has been shown to raise it and can help a person burn approx 78 calories a day. Spicy foods can help as well. It has been shown that things like hot pepper and jalopenos can raise metabolism for up to 3 hours. Exercise helps as well as weight training. Make sure to drink plenty of water. Extreme temperature can help raise metabolism such as in a sauna or in the cold can raise it by as much as 20 percent. These are just a few ways. I appologize for how scattered it is. I hope it is of some help to you. [ Professor_Kaos's advice column | Ask Professor_Kaos A Question ]
