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

I can suggest coffee and tea; in very large quantity they are supposed to speed up your metabolism.

Foods don't help burn off fat, it's all to do with your metabolic rate and your calorie intake.
All you have to do to burn fat is to ensure your calorie output is greater than your calorie input on a consistent basis. |

You need to take in fat in order to burn fat. You can't target fat either. It's very complicated. Anyone that tells you what you wanna hear is lying.

Green tea supposedly increases metabolism and I believe it does help. I needed to lose about a stone in three months to fit into my wedding dress. I drank about 4 cups a day, ate healthy and exercised about 3-4 times a week, in the end it fit perfect.
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. |

Doesn't celery contain less calories than it takes to eat or is that a myth?

High Fibre foods. Makes you poop more. The more you poop the less you weigh

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. 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
