Dear Shagun, thank you for the question.
For ideal weight management, it is important to consume a healthy balanced diet that fulfils all daily nutrient requirements. Fat loss should be done under professional guidance with specific exercise regimen and dietary modifications.
There are several factors that affect metabolism including gender, age, lifestyle & environmental factors, diet, genetics etc.
Studies have shown that some of the foods can help improve metabolism, they include, cinnamon, green coffee, broccoli, nuts etc.
Gut microbiota helps regulate metabolism and energy balance, consume banana, garlic, yogurt, buttermilk etc., which are good sources of probiotics and prebiotics to maintain healthy gut.
Here are some other guidlines to be considered
- Eat a well balanced including all food groups (cereals, pulses, fruits, vegetables, milk & milk products).
- Eat at regular intervals and avoid skipping meals.
- Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day
- Follow a good sleep regimen in terms of both quality and quantity
