\nWhy is it that some people just look at food and they seem to gain weight, while others can have extra helpings of everything and don\u2019t seem to put on a pound? Don\u2019t you hate that! The difference could be a revved-up metabolism. Here\u2019s how to rev up yours and learn to love your metabolism:<\/p>\n

1. Slow and steady wins the race
\n<\/b>Chew on this: Researchers from the University of Rhode Island in Kingston found that women ate an average of 70 fewer calories when they took smaller spoonfuls, put their spoon down between bites and chewed their food thoroughly. The leisurely pace gives your brain time to alert your body that you\u2019re full.<\/p>\n

2. <\/b>Caffeine to the rescue<\/b>
\nCaffeine gets more than your morning motor going; it can also give you a slight metabolic boost. Plus, experts say that a little caffeine may up your endurance and stamina during your workouts too \u2013 and even boost calorie burning. Just avoid those whip cream-topped concoctions that are loaded with calories. Go with green tea, black coffee or a non-fat latte instead.<\/p>\n

3. Don\u2019t exclude exercise
\n<\/b>Sure, ideally you want to get the recommended 30 minutes of activity a day, but don\u2019t knock a single exercise session. Squeezing in just one 90-minute workout can boost your body\u2019s fat-burning and improve your metabolic health, according to a study from the University of Michigan.<\/p>\n

4. Bet on breakfast<\/b>
\nYou\u2019ve heard that eating breakfast jumpstarts your metabolism. Well it\u2019s true. According to a study that looked at the National Weight Control Registry, a database of people who\u2019ve lost 30+ pounds for more than a year, breakfast eaters fair better than breakfast skippers when it comes to losing weight.<\/p>\n

5. Don\u2019t starve yourself
\n<\/b>There\u2019s a reason crash dieters often end up gaining back the weight\u2026 and more! Cutting too many calories can slow your metabolism to a snail\u2019s pace. Even worse, this might force your body to consume muscle for energy, which can lower metabolism even more.<\/p>\n

6.<\/b> Hydrate with H2O
\n<\/b>Drink up! German researchers found that sipping 6 cups of H2O a day can raise your resting metabolism by 50 calories a day \u2013 that\u2019s 5 fewer pounds a year! Just make sure the H20 is chilled. The extra calories could be because of the energy it takes for your body to heat the H2O to body temperature.<\/p>\n

7. <\/b>Make exercise a blast<\/b>
\nWant to pack more calorie-burning into your gym time? Try interval training. Short, intense burst of activity burns more fat (36% more) and increases cardio fitness by 13% according to one study.<\/p>\n

8. Get fired up!
\n<\/b>Eating spicy foods, especially capsaicin, the compound that gives chili peppers their pep, can turn up your body temperature which turns up your metabolism. A bowl of chili, for example, can temporarily increase metabolism by about 8 percent. Plus, spicing up scrambled eggs, stews, soups and sauces can also aid in satiety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rev up your metabolism with these quick
