I really think it's so interesting how people can change the way their body works. I've been underweight most all my life, though I have a lot of family members who are the exact opposite of me. I just remember when I was little everyone telling me how good my metabolism must be. I had no idea what they were talking about!

I'm not really looking to go on a diet, just enjoy random knowledge.

Another way to boost your metabolism is exercise. And a third way is stimulants like caffeine and tobacco - and also cocaine, meth, amphetamine, but those are illegal. I cook like everything with coconut oil. I swear by it. Where the heck do you buy it? I've been looking

I buy it at my grocery store. Pretty much any grocery store not named Walmart usually carries it in their health food/organic aisle.
It wont be in a bottle and can be hard to miss if you dont know what youre looking for. Mine for example is in a jar that looks like a nutella jar, because at room temperature coconut oil is a solid. Heat it a few degrees and it becomes a liquid.

Eating every 4 hours also works, keeps your body burning energy.
An extensive review of studies on various meal frequencies and the thermic effect of food was published in 1997. It looked at many different studies that compared the thermic effect of food during meal frequencies ranging from 1-17 meals and concluded: "A detailed review of the possible mechanistic explanations for a metabolic advantage of nibbling meal patterns failed to reveal significant benefits in respect of energy expenditure. Although some short-term studies suggest that the thermic effect of feeding is higher when an isoenergetic test load is divided into multiple small meals, other studies refute this, and most are neutral. More importantly, studies using whole-body calorimetry and doubly-labelled water to assess total 24 h energy expenditure find no difference between nibbling and gorging. Finally, with the exception of a single study, there is no evidence that weight loss on hypoenergetic regimens is altered by meal frequency. We conclude that any effects of meal pattern on the regulation of body weight are likely to be mediated through effects on the food intake side of the energy balance equation." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9155494
