5 Things to Eat to Boost Your Metabolism

Green Tea

Along with its other amazing health benefits, green tea speeds up the metabolism. Drinking two to four cups burns between 50 and 60 extra calories daily. While this amount is not large, a daily habit of sipping green tea can certainly help give a waning metabolism a boost.

I wish I could do this, but I think I have some weird caffeine metabolic thing. I can't drink any type of tea or coffee; even decaf is bad b/c it still has stimulants in it.

I can drink Coke though [ick!], so maybe not...?

I just don't like the taste of green tea, unfortunately.
