7 Metabolism Hacks to Burn More Calories at Rest

Simple, science-backed strategies to boost your metabolic rate without extreme dieting or exercise.

1

Drink Cold Water First Thing

Your body burns calories warming water to body temperature. Cold water can temporarily boost metabolism by up to 30%.

DO THIS: Drink 16oz of ice-cold water within 30 minutes of waking up.
2

Eat Protein at Every Meal

Protein has the highest thermic effect of all macronutrients — your body burns 20-30% of protein calories just digesting it.

DO THIS: Include 20-30g of protein with breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
3

Stand Up Every Hour

Sitting for long periods slows metabolism. Standing burns 50% more calories than sitting.

DO THIS: Set a timer to stand and stretch for 2 minutes every hour.
4

Add Spice to Your Meals

Capsaicin in chili peppers can boost metabolism by 8% and increase fat oxidation.

DO THIS: Add cayenne pepper, chili flakes, or hot sauce to one meal daily.
5

Get 7-8 Hours of Sleep

Sleep deprivation reduces metabolic rate by 5-20% and increases hunger hormones.

DO THIS: Set a bedtime alarm and keep your bedroom at 65-68°F.
6

Drink Green Tea Daily

Green tea contains EGCG and caffeine, which together can boost metabolism by 4-5%.

DO THIS: Drink 2-3 cups of green tea between meals (not with food).
7

Build Muscle with Resistance Training

Muscle burns 3x more calories at rest than fat. Every pound of muscle burns 6-7 calories per day.

DO THIS: Do 20 minutes of bodyweight exercises 3x per week.
