I know dark chocolate and chillies help but I would like to know a few selections of foods for interests sake.

All you have to do to burn fat is to ensure your calorie output is greater than your calorie input on a consistent basis.
So eat your high metabolism food in a healthy diet, consuming less calories than you burn. Use this calculator to work out how many calories you need to burn, and use this (enter your daily calorie goals) to track your calories each day, making sure you eat the proper amount of carbs, Protein and fat, you WILL lose weight.

Yeah, that's a myth. A stick of celery has about 6 calories, but the body only needs about half a calorie to burn it.
Yes but there have been studies to show that the intake of such foods can help burn fat and reduce the bodies intake of certain minerals and nutrients like trans fats and such. These are the foods I would like to have more as part of my diet.
I've started to drink a selection of teas such as Jasmine tea and red bush tea. I don't think it speeds up the metabolism that much it's more used as an anti-oxidant I think.
I've been taking bladderwack pills to add more fiber lol they're quite good.
Almonds and other nuts (with skins intact)Build muscle, reduce cravings
Dairy products (fat-free or low-fat milk, yogurt, cheese)Build strong bones, fire up weight loss
EggsBuild muscle, burn fat
Turkey and other lean meatsBuild muscle, strengthen immune system
BerriesImprove satiety, Almonds and other nuts (with skins intact)Build muscle, reduce cravings

Enova oil (soy and canola oil)Promotes fullness, not easily stored as fat
Peanut butter Boosts testosterone (a good thing even in women), builds muscle, burns fat
Fatty fish (such as salmon, tuna, mackerel)Trigger fullness, fire up fat burning
GrapefruitLowers insulin, regulates blood sugar and metabolism; be sure to eat the fleshy white membranes
Green teaFires up fat burning
Chili peppersSpikes metabolism
Spinach and green vegetablesFight free radicals and improve recovery for better muscle building
Whole grains (quinoa, brown rice, whole grain cereal)Small doses prevent body from storing fat
Beans and legumesBuild muscle, help burn fat, regulate digestion
WheyBuilds muscle, burns fat

Any evidence to back up those claims? A food cannot "burn fat" and I don't know why grapefruit supposedly lowering insulin is helpful unless you want diabetes. And how do wholegrains prevent fat storage?
People are always looking for magic quick fixes but in the end it all comes down to taking in fewer calories than your body needs, so it breaks down your energy stores (fat) to fix the deficit.
I'd hazard a guess it means increases metabolism.
Anyway, all those foods listed are very healthy. I would say that eating all those with a calorie deficit would result in a slimmer, healthier individual with less cravings for sugary, 'bad' foods.
I always say if your plate is covered in naturally different coloured foods (fruit, veg etc)you are on the right track. If your plate is a mass of yellow and brown (chips, sausage rolls etc) each meal then there's a good chance it's not healthy
Er, what a load of cobblers. Also you've duplicated most of that 5 times!
Why not just post the link?
God, what a load of crap in that article.
Insulin helps the body store fat, it doesn't lower it it helps keep it on a controlled level.
