Foods that speed metabolism??

Ok so what kind of foods are good to help speed up your metabolism? I know green tea is suppsed to help boost it a bit, but Im not so sure of what else does it too...
Any ideas?

i heard almonds are good for you.. not sure about metabolism.. but if youre working out while dieting theyre a good source of protein!

edit: i found this link that might help! with foods...

too much fiber makes u constipated and bloated.. so EVERYTHING in moderation


uhmm HELLLOOOO?!!! carrots and laxatives! like, DUHH

I work in the nutrition department for a major vitamin/dietary supplement company.

Honestly, 'foods' per se to boost your metabolism is nonsense. Some may give a sporadic or temporary metabolism boost, but thats it.

The best way to support your metabolism is to eat healthy and exercise regularly, as well as supplement your diet with vitamin B or B-12 complexes, amino acids such as acetyl l-carnitine, GLA (gamma linolenic acid), ginseng, in addition to a good multivitamin. This is what keeps your metabolism running at its best over the long haul.

i just had an almond cookie.....does that count??

almonds and raisins together help

also hot spicy food works really well!!!
i love spicyness

if you guys really want to loose weight- an healthy amount of weight- its a bit strict in a sense- but it DOES work- if you follow it
its called the abs diet- it a book- a way of life. just makes you eat certain foods together.

i went on this diet a few years ago to lower my cholesterol and i lost a good deal of weight with it(all my college weight) and lowered my cholesterol by about 50 points- not exaggerating.

grass.

mooo. love you.

Agree with the above....you can also add grapefruit which has always been known to speed up your metabolism.
