  Eat green vegetables and veggies that have rich colors. Nonstarchy veggies are best to be eaten for main meals and snacks. According to "Work Out" host Jackie Warner, eating foods such as vegetables and eggs increase your metabolism. The sugars in fruit can prevent you from losing the weight you would like, so add protein shakes as a supplement. Warner also recommends adding 500 milliliters of organic lemon juice to your water every day because the ascorbic acid in lemons can speed up your metabolism by 33 percent.
