Aerobic exercise - At least 30 minutes a day is needed. This will increase your metabolism for 4 to 8 hours after you stop exercising so you will be burning calories long after you stop exercising.
Weight training - Muscle burns 73 more calories per kilogram of fat per day than does fat. So the more muscle you have, the higher your resting metabolic rate will be. The more muscle the better because it burns calories 24 hours per day. This is the only way to increase your resting metabolic rate, which is responsible for 60 to 70 percent of the calories you burn each day.
Drink lots of water - Lack of water will have a similar effect as lack of food. It will result in the body holding on again and restrict proper metabolism. By drinking enough water the liver will be able to work on metabolism rather than water retention.
A Healthy Diet - There is no concrete evidence that any food will increase metabolism significantly enough to effect weight loss. However, a healthy diet(this means avoiding junk food) when combined with the proper exercise training program will eventually turn a fat body into a lean, muscular body, increasing the burning of calories 24 hours a day.
