Certain Foods DON'T Make
You Burn More Calories
There is conflicting information about whether or not certain foods can increase your metabolic rate, making you burn more calories. I'm sure may have read articles in health magazines and newspapers about the latest super foods that fire up your furnace and melt the calories away. After al its very hard to ignore with sheer volume of advertising messages we are bombarded with on a daily basis. What is certain is that some foods have some clear health benefits. You know this already, a typical Mediterranean diet rich in fruit, veg and oily fish is going to benefit you. This has been confirmed in numerous scientific studies.
However, there are no foods that increase your metabolic rate dramatically, or help you burn calories. Even if certain foods do increase your metabolism the amount is too insignificant to make it a magic bullet. You may have noticed that green tea extract is commonly sold as a fat burning weight loss supplement. While the marketers may claim otherwise, the reality is that science has shown us that green tea is nearly totally ineffective for fat loss. Conversely one of the most effective methods for burning fat is weight lifting.
Why? Because by building muscle you increase the number of calories your body burns when at rest. I also recommends that you eat foods with a high water and fiber content because they stay in your system longer, a plus for taking off the pounds.
