      Yes people with a higher resting metabolism do have lower weight. My research at the moment is trying to find ways to increase metabolism. Green tea has been found to increase fat metabolism at rest but i am trying to see whether it can increase it during exercise. When you exercise your metabolism is increased so exercising is a good way to have a higher metabolism.

      high metabolism means you burn up fuels in your body quicker like fat. You can make your metabolism higher is by building up your muscle mass. Muscle itself burns fat when your not exercising..so the more muscle you have the more fat you will burn and you metabolism level will be increased in general! Certain foods may also increase your metabolims but only for short periods of time. the best way to increase it long term is by buliding muscle.
