speed at which your body converts the

calories you eat into useful energy.

and "all natural" yogurt is packed with

protein!

Apples

An apple a day keeps the "big and tall store" away....

Apples are loaded with fiber and require extra energy to

digest.

Crunching an apple also takes some work and helps

you feel full longer.Image courtesy of stockimages / FreeDigitalPhotos.net"

Oatmeal

Is packed with fat soluble fiber and it "sticks with you",

taking time for your body to digest.

This process can lower insulin levels and speed up your metabolism as a

result! Image courtesy of Grant Cocrahne / FreeDigitalPhotos.net"

Turkey

Even though it can make you sleepy...it's

lean and high in protein which makes

turkey a great metabolism booster.

Caffeine

The caffeine from a cup of coffee (or two)

can give your metabolism a boost.

Use moderation...it can also give your "I'm cranky and wired" side

a boost too. Image courtesy of Imagerymajestic/ FreeDigitalPhotos.net"

What's Up Doc?

If you haven't exercised for some time or you have

health concerns, you may want to talk to your doctor before

starting a new exercise routine or

diet plan. Image courtesy of stockimages / FreeDigitalPhotos.net"
