Metabolism is nearly entirely dependant on
the individual's genetics. Altering basic
metabolism is nearly unheard of, probably
impossible. Everyone is advised to
exercise and eat well but if you have a
slow metabolism, that's how your body
should naturally work. It can't be
changed.

Increasing your meals from the usual 3, to
5-6 times a day but in smaller portions
increases your metabolic rate (of course,
as the one above me stated, it isn't
something that could completely overcome
your genetics). So, instead of eating a
big lunch and a big dinner, eat small
meals just enough to keep you satisfied
for a few (2-4) hours. High intensity and
aerobic exercises also increase your
metabolic rate (not permanently). What
occurs is that your metabolic rate
increases during your recovery period
(energy debt) within the hours after your
work outs in your body's attempt to refill
used energy stores, hormones running
through your body, etc.
Simply, don't be lead into the false
belief of losing weight by ONLY attempting
to increase your metabolic rate. You may
increase it via the methods I stated
above, but in which what you are eating
should be monitored, and ensure your work
outs burn your fats on top of that.
