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...
