Move More
Sedentary people burn about one-third fewer calories per day.

The trick is to keep moving throughout your day. Write the word 'move' on post-it notes and put them in places you will notice them when you are sitting still. Then, take every chance to move – here are some ideas for burning additional calories:
- Tap your feet
- Swing your legs
- Stand up and stretch
- Move your head from side to side
- Change position
- Wriggle and friggle
- Pace up and down
- Use the restroom upstairs
- Park in the furthest corner of the parking lot
- Stand up when you're on the telephone and step from side to side
- Clench and release your muscles
Eat Tiny and Regularly
Evidence proves that eating small meals each 2-4 hours will keep your constitution burning faster than bigger, less frequent meals. When you eat small amounts often your body is consistently working to digest and absorb food which needs energy.
Eat Fat
if you'd like feel good and keep the fat off you need to first put it in. Fat not only tastes good our bodies need it to work efficiently. By consuming a few servings of 'healthy' fats every day you'll actually raise your calorie burning potential. Try incorporating fats like Flaxseed oil, hempseed oil, olive oil, avocados, salmon, albacore tuna, seeds and nuts into your diet daily.
Drink Cold Water
Proof shows that your body might expend more calories attempting to raise cold water to the temperature of your body then hot beverages. And overall being well hydrated will help your body's metabolic processes burn quicker.
Exercise with Weights
Drilling with weights boosts your metabolism in a variety of ways. By lifting weights you'll build muscle tissue. And muscle tissue is metabolically active, so it needs calories even if at rest and so it helps to increase fat-burning enzymes in your body.
Spice Up
Eating hot spices might speed up your metabolism. Just half a teaspoon of cinnamon every day can help increase metabolism and keep blood sugar levels in control. Can't stand the thought of cinnamon in your morning cup of coffee? Boost with cayenne, crushed red pepper or wasabi.
Eat More Protein
Protein requires a more complex chemical breakdown by your body in order to be digested and used as fuel. For instance, 100 calories of protein may take up to 30 calories to process. Protein also takes longer to digest helping to stabilize blood sugar for longer periods of time and this will help you to not overeat later in the day. Eat a portion of protein at each meal and as part of your nibbles and you will increase the total number of calories you burn each day.
