I have found two basic ways to boost my own metabolism...so much so that I can take a couple days off from the diet and still see weight loss progress.

1. Eat several small meals per day. When the body knows that it's going to get another few hundred calories of fuel within the next 2-3 hours, it continues to burn calories efficiently.

2. Lift weights! When you are on a weight lifting program, you purposefully cause microscopic damage to your muscle fibers. Your body is programmed to repair such damage...and that takes energy (i.e. it burns calories 24/7).

Your metabolism can seriously change.

Good luck!
