Avoid stress as much as possible. Adrenalin has a bad effect on metabolism. However you have to do it, get oxygen! Go out and take a walk. Breathe as deeply as possible. Use diaphragm breathing for the biggest oxygen pull. Don't miss meals or skip eating.

Be careful not to trigger starvation metabolism! Consider any beverages, especially alcohol to be food and add that to your daily calorie intake. Drink as much water as possible. A minimum of 8 glasses per day is recommended but increase that if you can. Don't spend too much time in front of the TV, computer or with video games. Passive activities like these drop your metabolism to nearly sleeping levels.

Exercise and add as much lean muscle mass to your body as you can. The more muscle mass you have, the more your body burns fuel. Think positive and convince yourself that you have a high metabolism! Try to have a balanced diet, so that you're not lacking in protein, carbohydrates or fats.

Boosting your metabolism is a key player in your war on fat. If you can increase your metabolism and in particular your basal metabolic rate you have gone a long way towards losing weight. Use these methods and you are on your way!
