It is claimed that certain foods and drinks can boost your metabolism, including green tea, black coffee, spices and energy drinks. The evidence behind these claims is flimsy, the effect on your metabolism is marginal at best and each person will respond differently to each product. While you don't have much control over the speed of your metabolism, you can control how many calories you burn through your level of physical activity.
Exercise is a key ingredient to increase metabolism. The aerobic workouts burn more calories in the short term, and weight training builds the muscles that will boost your metabolism in the long run. During heavy physical exertion, the muscles may burn through as much as 3,000kJ (717 kcal) per hour.
