Have A Cup Of Green Tea
  Green tea offers numerous health benefits and will cause you to burn more calories   daily. This beverage is very rich in antioxidant content and will help fend   off free-radical damage that could lead to disease. Be sure to serve your green   tea with some lemon rather than added sugar to prevent the addition of unnecessary   calories.

Add A Few Hot Peppers
  Adding a few hot peppers to your meal is another quick way to instantly burn   more calories. Hot peppers as well as chili peppers contain capsaicin which   will cause the body to start expending more energy as heat, increasing your   total calorie burn. If hot peppers aren’t your thing, then cayenne pepper   will work the same way.

Power Your Meals With Protein
  One of the fastest, easiest ways to instantly boost your metabolism is to simply   get more protein into your diet. Each time you eat a protein-rich food, the   body is going to expend so many calories simply breaking it down, making this   an ideal way to instantly increase your daily calorie burn. For each 100 calories   of protein that you consume, you’ll only net around 75 of those calories,   so you can see how this could easily add up.

Bring Back Your Carbs
  Those currently on low-carb diets for extended periods of time are also going   to be at risk of a sluggish metabolism. Your carbohydrate intake is closely   linked to your thyroid gland function, so not eating enough will decrease its   effectiveness, slowing your calorie burn. Start adding some healthy carbohydrates   back into your diet before and after your workout as well as in the meals just   following. You’ll be less likely to store them as body fat and notice a   dramatic difference as a result.

Get Up And Move
  Another easy way to boost your calorie burn is to simply get up and move more.   Sitting for extended periods throughout the day is really going to cause a reduction   in your metabolic rate and lower your total amount of calories burnt. Try to   set a timer and get up at least once an hour, if not every 30 minutes, and walk   around for a couple of minutes. At the end of the day this
  could add up to an extra 100-200 calories and make a big difference on your   progress.

Get Down And Do 20
  Performing short bursts of body-weight exercises whenever you have a free second   is another great way to up your total daily calorie burn and strengthen your   muscles. Every so often, get down and do 20 push-ups, bodyweight squats, crunches   or, if you have a bar available, pull-ups. You’ll also energize yourself   in the process.

Play Sports
  Stop-and-go sports are an excellent way to rev up your metabolism and blast   calories fast. The nature of these sports mimics that of interval training,   so join in a game of basketball, hockey, soccer or football whenever time permits.   As an added benefit, you’ll also boost your muscle strength and coordination   by playing.

Prioritize Sleep
  Those who don’t get enough sleep at night are also going to be at risk   of suffering from a slow metabolism. In addition to that, getting enough sleep   will also increase your glucose tolerance, so you’ll be able to handle   any carbohydrates you consume that much better. This means you’ll have   a lower chance of suffering from an increase in body fat.

Read Rather Than Watch TV
  Settling in at night to watch TV for hours at a time is one of the lowest calorie-burning   activities, so why not make more of your free time? Instead, pick up a good   and do some reading. Not only will you enrich your mind, but reading burns up   far more calories as the brain stays active metabolically speaking. Since it   runs off pure glucose, this means you’ll burn up more of the carbohydrates   you’ve eaten while reading than when watching late-night talk shows.

Use Diet Breaks Wisely
  Being on a low-calorie diet for an extended period of time will also significantly   decrease your total daily calorie burn. To help overcome this so that you can   burn calories faster, implement diet breaks every four-six weeks while on the   program. Two days of higher-calorie eating will immediately help reverse the   resulting sluggish metabolism and help you burn more calories total.
