How can I increase my metabolism?

I've been trying to lose some weight but its not been working too well for me. My sister has a high metabolism and we pretty much eat the same foods but she doesn't put on weight. I thought the easiest way was probably to boost my metabolism so I can burn calories quicker. I may be wrong :/ How can I boots my metabolism? What foods will help me do that? How much of the food will I have to eat? How long would it take? How high would my metabolism end up? ThankYou for your help! xoxoxo

How to Lose Weight on a Tight Budget

Recommended Answer:

Gaining or toning muscles. The more and leaner muscles you have, the faster your body burns calories, even at rest. There are less healthy ways like smoking and prescription (or not) drugs, but there is no easy way or you'd know about it. Aerobic exercise is good too, but not as calorie burning as most think, and the muscle toning isn't nearly as good as weights/resistance workouts.

Other Answers:

• you have to excersise alot
• Your metabolism is the rate at which you burn energy, so you really just need to stay active. Other factors can influence your weight too like hormones, food intolerances, and even just your attitude towards food (placebo)
• drinking green tea increases your metabolism

How can I gain some weight?

I'm 5 foot 7 and I weigh 6 stone, my bmi is dangerously low :/ but I don't starve myself or anything! I eat normal meals, I'm trying to get help for anorexia, some people say I'm stupid for wanting to gain weight because everyone wants to be my weight but being a ''popular'' (hate that word sorry) everyone talks about me -_- and seriously the amount of times I've over heard someone call me a twig is just unreal. I really want to gain weight but I can't? If I eat ''normal'' (hate that word too) portions I just feel sick :( help?

How to Lose Weight in Your Cheeks

Recommended Answer:

Awwww, you are TINY.......I could lift you over my head with one arm. Just eat ALOT more. Gaining weight can go two ways, either you gain too much dead-weight (fat)or you gain a healthy amount of essential fat and muscle. I'd go for the healthy option. Start by increasing your protein intake and hours you exercise. Eat food like eggs, fish and cottage cheese. Always eat a large breakfast, make breakfast your largest meal. Have 3 boiled eggs, and 3 different pieces of fruit (that should be enough to start with). Have a bowl of cottage cheese around lunch time and eat a HUGE salad at dinner with some meat, like a tuna salad (eat about 3 hours before bed since sleep is important for growth). As for exercise, avoid long-cardio (since you are trying to gain weight) for the time being. That means don't go for long hour runs, do only light cardio, like cycling for 20 minutes on high intensity. Keep it short and intense; start sprinting and body-weight training (WAY more fun than weightlifting/ some weight-lifters look weird). Body-weight training includes acrobatics, so find an gymnasium, not a gym.
