Experts Reasoning for the Ranking
Pills-taking pills does speed up your metabolism,
but it is a quick fix. There can be side effects.
Pills are addictive. When you stop taking pills
you gain the weight back.

Bingeing

• When a person skips meals the body shuts down and
  slows its digestive speed to conserve energy
  because the body thinks it is starving. Bingeing
  causes heart problems and the acid in your
  stomach starts eating at the stomach lining and
  teeth.

16
Weight Lifting

• Weight lifting is good. It will speed up the
  digestive process and burn calories. It will
  firm the body up. At first a person may gain
  weight because muscle weighs more than fat which
  is good in the long run.

17
Drinking Water

• By drinking more water the bodies system can
  eliminate excess fat and unused sugars cleansing
  the body system.

18
Eating 4-6 Meals

• By eating more often the body system constantly
  burns energy. This keeps the bodies waste moving.

19
Walking

• By walking or doing your favorite activity two to
  three times a week the body system speeds up,
  builds strong muscle, and burns more calories.
