How to increase metabolism while doing weight loss?

Eat first: Eat a light meal before every work-out. It tells the body that you are not in starvation mode and lets the body rev up your metabolism during the work-out. However, don't work-out more than 45 minutes at one time because that slows down your metabolism again.
