Metabolism - Can You Change Yours?

Love it or hate it, your metabolism is just something you need to learn to live with. That's not to say you have no control over it -- you can change it if you know how. Our friends at Fitsugar recently revealed some tricks that can help you burn more calories:

• Eat a bit of protein at every meal. Some nuts or low-fat cheese will do nicely.
• Stick to one drink. From the second one on, your body will burn empty calories from alcohol rather than from food.
• Drink coffee, or better yet, green tea. It will increase your metabolism by five to eight percent.
• Train in intervals to increase your body's metabolism both during the workout and after.
