How can I speed up my metabolism?

Q: Is there a way to speed it up, other than exercise? I do exercise however I don't think it's doing anything for me other than toning me up and burning extra calories. Any suggestions?

Mozzy: Muscle is metabolically active tissue. The more you have the more fat your body will burn both at work and at rest.  That's why strength training is so crucial to fat loss.  Also, eating smaller meals more frequently (5-6 a day) will speed up your metabolism.  Spicy foods have been shown to increase metabolism but it is not significant enough over long periods of time to really make a difference when it comes to fat loss.
