Most of the time Cinnamon or Green Tea helps.
It really depends on your body type.

If you think you can tweak your metabolic rate to burn fat faster, you can't. However, you can burn fat with exercise if your diet allows it. Check out these fitness facts.

• If you consume fewer calories than you burn, you have to lose fat eventually. There are no exceptions to this fact.

• A pound of fat will yield about 3500 calories (Kcal) of energy.

• An average person must run or walk about 5 miles (8 km) every day to burn one pound of fat per week AND THEIR DIET MUST ALLOW IT.

• An average person must run or walk about 350 miles (563 km) to burn 10 pounds AND THEIR DIET MUST ALLOW IT.

• An average person who consumes 500 calories per day less than they burn will lose about a pound a week with no extra time or physical effort required.

• A average person dieting with a 500 calorie/day deficit will burn 10 pounds of fat in 10 weeks. The same person running 5Km (3 miles) per day with a Zero calorie/day deficit will burn 10 pounds in 16 weeks.

•Running does not burn any more fat than walking as long as the distance remains the same.

• It does not matter if a person runs or walks a given distance…they will burn the same number of calories. Calories are energy and energy expenditure is not time dependent. How fast a person runs has nothing to do with how many calories they burn. Only the distance determines the calories burned.

• It is not necessary to do "cardio" to burn fat. "Cardio" is aerobic exercise which elevates the heart rate to 80% of max and sustains it for the purpose of cardio-vascular fitness. You can burn fat in your sleep.

• Most of the calories you consume will be spent just keeping your body temperature at 98.6F.

• It doesn’t matter how hard or how long you exercise, you will not lose any fat if you eat too much. You can always eat more calories than you can burn. When it comes to burning fat, diet always trumps exercise.

• There are only two nonsurgical things you can do to sculpt your body and they are (1) add or lose fat and (2) add or lose muscle. Muscle can only be lost naturally through atrophy.

• There is no exercise which will remove fat from a particular place on the body. Your body (genetics) determines where you lose fat, not you nor your diet nor your exercise. Spot fat removal by diet or exercise is a myth which is why people spend so much money on liposuction.

• There are no supplements which will make your body burn fat. Only you can do that with diet control.

• Protein has the same caloric content as pure sugar (4cal/gram).

• An average natural bodybuilder who is just starting to train may gain as much as 4-8 ounces of muscle in a month. An average dieter who is burning fat will lose about a pound a week. Anyone can gain a pound in a few minutes just be drinking a pint of water.

Metabolism is nothing more than the totality of the energy exchange processes which occur in the body. Metabolic rates are an effect and not a cause. Hence, the idea that you can change your metabolic rate to achieve a specific effect, such as changing the thermostat in your house to effect the temperature, is wrong.

For example, you can exercise to burn fat and that demand will increase the metabolic rate and, depending on your caloric intake, may burn body fat. However, you cannot increase your metabolic rate permanently with exercise because as soon as you stop the exercising your metabolism will begin to return to normal. That's why we all have a BMR or basal metabolic rate and it is not something we can change. It may change as a function of aging or post pubescent development but those are the result of natural processes and genetics.

There are naturally heavy people (endomorphs) and naturally thin people (ectomorphs) and that happy medium in between, the much envied mesomorph. If there was a way to change our BMR, we would all be mesomorphs.

You will hear many people talk about metabolism as though it can be modified to help you lose fat or gain weight and you would do well to ignore that sort of talk. Such things as diet, fat loss or gain, increases in muscularity, etc. do not translate to significant changes in metabolism. A little bit of knowledge is often worse than none. Those who do not fully understand metabolism often turn qualitative truisms into quantitative absolutes and that can be extremely misleading.

It makes no more sense to think about your metabolism in regard to diet or exercise than it does to think about your car's horsepower when pressing on the gas pedal to go or the brake pedal to stop. Metabolism is an effect just as your car's horsepower is an effect. If you're concerned with losing fat, gaining weight, building muscle, or maintaining, follow good diet, exercise, and fitness strategies and your metabolism will take care of itself.

Do workouts that make you sweat and raise your heart rate. It only comes with consistent work out as long as you're willing to live to a healthy lifestyle. I haven't gone jogging in a week. Gonna hit the gym today!
