What foods speed up the metabolism? I've heard grapefruit, caffeine, green tea. Anyone know of anything else?

Re: Metabolism...
Food speed up your metabolism by eating it. If you are eating write, your body is NEVER with food. You should eat smaller meals through out the day opposed to the 3 big meals per day.
Also do not beleive the hype!! Fat is good. Not the type that is in McDonalds but the healthy fats found in foods such as almonds (non salted nuts are very good!). The fat fills you up longer and keeps you rom snacking on the bad stuff.
Caffiene causes insulin intolerance. So handle with care. Coffee with slow down the need for carbs (insulin) for energy.
if you want to read about carbs and which are good and which are bad, go to this site.
http://www.glycemicindex.com/
It tells which foods spike your insulin levels the highest and lowest. Could be useful when picking which foods you want to eat. You want carbs that do not spike high (sugar rush).
