Q: Mike, thank u for ALL the useful info on ure site.....What can i do besides eating 4-6 times a day and weight training to increase my metabolism?? ( which is quite slow and im trying to lose 30pounds of fat)

A: By far the two biggest metabolism boosters are Exercise (preferably whole-body weight-training, but at least some cardio) and Proper Nutrition (eating the right foods, eating small amounts of them, and eating them often). Everything else is relative peanuts as far as boosting metabolism and some methods are of questionable safety. You could drink more coffee and use more spices in your foods, but don't do it if caffeine has negative effects on you (or if you have high blood pressure) or if spices don't agree with you. Really, proper exercise and proper nutrition are what you should focus on and not get bogged thinking about other things. It will take some time to rev your metabolism up, but think how long it took you to gain all that extra weight in the first place! Waiting a couple of months before your new program starts showing results shouldn't seem so bad then!
