]]> 72632 1 33 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/186262/33.jpg Don't skip meals Don’t go longer than five hours without eating, except when you’re sleeping. Skipping meals slows down metabolism.

]]> 72633 2 40 Tip Always eat breakfast to kick-start your metabolism in the morning.

]]> 72634 3 44 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/186262/44.jpg Eat lean protein Eat lean protein, like skinless chicken or egg whites, at every meal, and aim to make lean protein 30 percent of your daily food intake.

]]> 72635 4 58 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/186262/58.jpg Choose the right carbs Choose complex carbohydrates, whole-wheat bread instead of white, and steel-cut oatmeal rather than sugary cereals. They boost metabolism because they are harder to digest than refined carbs are.
