Experts believe that if you ramp your body's natural fat incinerators aka your metabolism, you will lose weight faster. It is the metabolism that converts food into energy, which is further used to perform various activities. 

Here's what you can do to take your metabolism up a notch:

Quit dieting: 

Make simple changes instead of not eating at all. Start with cutting down junk-eating as much as possible. Swap fatty cuts of meat for lean ones and pass calorie-laden salad dressings for a tangy balsamic vinegar. 

Eat small meals, five to six times a day: 

Doing this will help satisfy hunger. Plus it will leave room for another small meal that you can eat a few hours later. This way your metabolism will be up all day. 

Combine right: 

Eat lean protein like fish, chicken with complex carbohydrates like sweet potato and whole grains to keep you full. Such super-charged combination keeps metabolism balanced and insulin levels under check.

Portion control: 

This is crucial. As a thumb rule, your protein serving should be the size of your palm. All carbs should be equal to the amount you can hold in a cupped hand. Fruits and veggies is the amount you can hold in two hands cupped together.

Eat spicy food: 

Spices have taste-bud pleasers and can burn fat by keeping metabolism in drive. 

Exercise: 

Train all major muscle groups at least three times per week. Working out gets your system going, keeping you energetic all day.
