Changing the number of calories your body burns at rest, and increasing metabolism, are two different things, IMO.
If you want to "lose 5 or maybe have a little ice cream", you simply need to increase the number of calories you burn each day while maintaining your current calorie intake (if that makes sense). I believe it's normal for a fit person to burn fewer calories at rest than is average, due to the natural decreased heart-rate and other streamlining effects of being fit... |

I always thought increasing your muscle mass increases you metabolism as well. Muscle, I thought, required more calories to maintain than fat. |

Absolutely, many places claim muscle burns more calories than fat. It stands to reason that at rest, muscle burns few calories, and the difference is marginal. |
Then again, I may be completely wrong...
Here's a pretty good list of ways to boost metabolism. Note that it says you should INCREASE caloric intake (obviously depending on your current level). |
Another common thing to boost the burn is to drink lots of water.

Here's a study that concludes that "...weight training induces a significant increase in average daily metabolic rate."
