5 Foods That Boost Your Metabolism

Protein: Anything with protein. This goes into the whole carb debate. I'm not saying cut carbs, just that protein does help you burn faster.

Hot Peppers: Ai yi yi!

Breakfast: Skipping breakfast significantly slows down your metabolism, so to keep your body burning calories, eat a little something for breakfast. I recommend eggs or oatmeal.

Water: Essential element for turning food calories into energy. Staying hydrated helps flush the byproducts of burning fat out of your body as well.

Green Tea: OK so technically these last two aren't foods, but they help boost your body's own calorie burning power.


Thanks for the tips, FitSugar!
