What's the best metabolism booster ?
I take all kinds of suplements to make sure i get all the vitamines and minerals I need...but it doesn't seem enough

I want to know who has come across a supplement or an herb that actually boosts your metabolism without giving you the shakes or crashes or headaches afterward (I tried various stimulants and am not interested in those).

Any combo of substances anybody tried that let's them sleep at night and actually feel fired up during the day ?

One thing I did try seems to help but only with moderate excercise and that is MCT's (medium chain triglycerides).

I need to lose 60 lbs quickly but not in such a way as to hurt my metabolism. I want to fire my metabolism up so I'm burning 3000-3500 calories a day. I know about weightlifting and I'm starting that.

Unfortunately I've been very depressed lately for the last 6 months. That doesn't help.

By far the most effective are amphetamine or cocaine.
But maybe that is not what you meant by "best".

Re: What's the best metabolism booster ?
I've had great results using Apple Cider Vinegar. I have severe fibromyalgia (at times bedridden), and was pretty much unable to do any housekeeping that required more than 15 minutes of effort before I had to sit down and rest. Because of a thread here at GLP, on ACV, I decided to give it a shot. That was a year ago.

It takes awful. It has done WONDERS!

I have higher energy levels than I've had in the last 15 years. I am not joking. Now, instead of 15 minutes of work and then muscle failure, I'm able to go for a solid hour of hard work (painting, cleaning, yard work, that kind of stuff) before I have to sit down. No, the FMS isn't cured, but dang, this is sooooooo much better!!! I feel HUMAN again!!!

Since starting the ACV I've also lost 40lbs...but I'm not dieting beyond stopping MSG and Aspartame.

Build Muscle.. you will gain at first but if you lift 3x a week for at least a month and THEN add cardio in your metabolism will spark.. You can eat a decent amount of cals and still loss weight.. Building muscle is key though

How much apple cider vinegar are you drinking? I have read that adding raw honey not only makes it taste better but also helps with weight loss and digestion.

Definately not the best. Don't know much about amps but trust me, stay away from the coke. And actually, meth is supposed to be far, far worse.

So stick to exercise. hf

What do you actually mean by "metabolism "?

Energy booster? or "Immune System" booster?

If it is the latter, there is none better
than PureImmune (naturopathic) from:

The polyphenols in tea have been prooven to increase metabolism, infact they are bringing out a diet pill which contains exactly that. So if you like tea, drink plenty of cups and you have an automatic couple hundred more calories burning.

People swear by BRAGGS ACV, but I just use good old fashioned cheap apple cider vinegar. READ your labels...it has to be PURE APPLE CIDER VINEGAR, and not anything else.

This is what works for me right now. I had to experiment a bit to get here. Some use more, some use less.

Current individual dose...
--AM: 1/4 C. ACV with 1/2 tsp. honey and 1 tsp. baking soda in 8 ounces COLD WATER. I use a straw to sip it fast. It's not so gaggy that way.

--PM: 1/4 C. ACV with 1/2 tsp. honey in 8oz COLD WATER

NOTE: sometimes I don't take the baking soda. Sometimes I don't take as much. The baking soda can act like a fast laxative, so monitor your intake. Um...that was the voice of experience, okay? LOL!


Pre-made "tonic" that I keep in lidded mason jar in fridge...
--1/4 C. honey
--Fill remaining 16oz jar with ACV, but leave a small gap at top of jar.
--Shake often until honey is dissolved
--Store in fridge
--Shake before every use.


That's what works for me. I don't always add the baking soda, but I do swish baking soda after I drink the ACV so I don't damage what's left of the enamel on my teeth. LOL!

If you use baking soda with the "tonic," make certain you are mixing it all in a deep glass or a small pitcher. The stuff spills over like a middle school science project otherwise.

OP, you already answered your own question.

MCT........organic, unrefined, COCONUT OIL.

nothing else like it in the world. It should be in its entire own category of food!

 Quoting: Dr_Kynes 341929


I work out a lot and was using Thermogain as a metabolism booster, then OD'd on that stuff and ended up passed out on the floor. I replaced that with CLA from GNC, and it works great. It's not a stimulant. I also start the day with a good batch of low-glycemic carbs like oatmeal or MHP's protein drink "Up Your Mass" and eat 4 or 5 times a day- a sandwich-half on sugar free wheat bread. The constant dosing of low-glycemic carbs really fires up your metabolism. Then at night take a walk or do cardio to raise your heart rate and eat no carbs at all. I do about 20 minutes on the stair-master 4 to 5 times a week before bed.

That guy is clearly an insane health food nut, but the vitamin is good.

I've had a good experience ordering from vitacost, I dig the flat shipping rate for large orders. Maca though, I've read you have to eat a lot of it to match the benefits peruvians get from it. I'm trying to find a site that will help me grow it. People like boners.

Weightlifting is great and will help your body burn more calories at rest but a conditioned cardiovascular system is the absolute best fat burner.
