9You can’t actually lose weight by speeding up metabolism
There are a lot of hypes around losing weight and speeding up the metabolism by taking supplements, eating various foods, and exercising. However, these are just myths. Though there are some foods such as chili or coffee that would speed up the metabolic rate, the change is quite short-lived and negligible. Building muscles would be a bit more helpful as the amount of muscle mass in the body would affect the resting metabolic rate. However, there might be a caveat: more muscles mean burning more fuel. As a result, you need to fight against the tendency to eat more foods. [9]
