One of the easiest ways to increase basal metabolic rate is to be colder. But it's not that much easier than being hungry. It's so easy to "cheat" and put on a sweater, or turn the HVAC to a higher temperature. Just as it's easy to serve a slightly larger portion, or have a snack.

And just as it's completely obvious, I also think it's completely useless for understanding how to live a good life at a desired body weight. There is clearly a lot more going on, as can be seen by the plethora of different medications, organisms and substances that cause weight change in every conceivable direction.
