Technically no food burns fat when you eat it. Burning fat requires eating fewer calories overall than you burn. (Or burning more than you eat- one requires exercise the other requires dietary discipline- both is best). Celery is about 10 calories, and provides a lot of fiber. So in that regard, it is a good snack to help lower the calorie consumption.Grapefruit is also said to be beneficial to your metabolism.Green Tea does not necessarily promote weight loss unless you look at it as a substitute for higher calorie beverages such as soda. Then in that respect it does. Caffeine is a stimulant and some believe it helps you burn better but I haven t seen the effects notable enough to promote weight loss alone. Green Tea also has some great antioxidant properties and is believed to provide health benefits such as lowering risk for cancer.If you are looking to lose weight the best way is to create a calorie deficit every day. Either exercise so you are burning more than you eat, or eat so you are consuming less than you burn- or do a blend of both which is best. A deficit of 500 calories per day will take off 1 lb per week which is a healthy rate of weight loss (3500 calories per pound of fat, about 7500 calories per kg). Remember you still need carbs- contrary to the popular craze. Things like veggies, fresh fruits (not juice), and whole wheat breads and pastas are all good sources. And good protein intake, and low saturated fat. These are building blocks towards a healthy diet. Green Tea, celery, grapefruit are all things that can contribute but if you re still scarfing down big macs and sodas it won t help much.Good luck!
romer 151;I think the only foods that you will find that burn fat naturally are1: fantasy fruit2: imagination vegetables3: super organic vitamin water made with all natural ingredients.When you think of what the nature of food is it is a fuel source and a source of building blocks necessary to make proteins. Trying to find a food item that causes fat to burn is like trying to find a gasoline which will give you less than 0 mpg. There are a few food items (celery is the most commonly quoted one) which contribute very little energy to the human body, but since they require energy to be digested and processed they are sometimes considered net loss foods. If you think about it, in concept these foods act almost like someone eating very small Styrofoam pellets (I am not suggesting that, only using it as an example from a physiology standpoint). Or you can consider them like a trip to the gym, except that now it is the gastrointestinal gym rather than skeletal muscle gym. If you are looking for something to fill your stomach with and you want no intake of energy then it is reasonable to consider using these types of foods rather than higher calorie foods. I ve provided a link to a site which lists some of the negative calorie foods.It s important also to realize what s happening with these types of foods. You are not burning fat because of the food, you are burning fat because of increased gastrointestinal work that isn t being fueled by the item you are eating/digesting. I can imagine that a diet based on this type of food intake will likely be deficient in some type of nutrient. The individual items may be high in certain vitamins and minerals but the balance in nature is a wonderful thing. Look at what cows eat, and look at the weight of a cow. There is a balance between calorie intake and physical activity/exercise.I had also seen some reference to a metabolism booster, and a question about green tea. Green tea is not a metabolism booster it s a stimulant. All you have to do is watch a few cops episodes and you ll see some people on methamphetamine that have no weight problem at all. They re down to skin and bones no matter what they eat because they re chronically taking stimulants.Tea has earned a reputation recently as being practically the cure-all of the Western diet/laziness. However, in my opinion I think taking in stimulant s to promote weight loss is a risky process and I would not be at all surprised if 10-40 years from now we end up finding a lot of people having medical problems as a side effect of chronic caffeine/stimulant usage years prior. I was looking back over some of the answers that have already been posted. I saw one suggesting that blueberries and apples are good foods. If that is the case then why do bears bulk up on berries before hibernating. They do that so that they can fatten up for the winter, this is obviously in combination with any meat that they can secure as well. Someone else had also suggested that green tea will help especially if you had been a soda drinker prior to this. This would also be the case if you switched from a soda to water. The main thing in that case is that you have deleted a higher calorie drink in favor of something lower in calories. The fact that the drink is tea is only a benefit as it is a stimulant. Remember the phen-fen problems of a few years ago? I realize that it is highly unlikely that green tea will cause the problems that these medications caused however, there had been many times in the history of medicine where a shortcut turned out to be much more toxic to the person than even the original problem would have been. The formula for weight loss is simple, calories out must exceed calories in (calories out being a combination of basal metabolic rate combined with exercise). If you really think something is a metabolism booster ,or a fat burner, then get yourself a good thermometer, take your temperatue before using whatever pill/food/supplement you are using and then take your temp 30 minutes,60 minutes and 90 minutes later. Any trend? probably not unless you went for a walk/run/workout. If the food/supplement is burning fat, then where is the heat?
Drinking green tea is healthy, flavor it with Lemon, avoid sugar. Yes, it will promote weight loss if you were a soda drinker, and and are now consuming 100. less calories per drink. Be sensible and consume a healthy food choice, of fruits vegetables whole graind and some protein. fish and nuts. You should also be active and do some excercise, and you will not have any problems with weight.
green tea does work. I ve just started that. what it does is increase your metabolism so you burn more calories when you exercise.blueberries and apples are really good for burning fat. good luck sweetie!

Yes green tea does help.Peppery foods,that is food with lots of pepper also helps.Citrus fruits are also good.
Yes green tea does raise the metabolism. low glycemic fruits and vegetables promote weight loss
