    Foods or Drinks that help with fat burning

    I heard that Grapefruit juice and apple cider vinegar help eat away fat, i was wondering if this was true and if there was any other foods/drinks etc that have the same affect in speeding up your metabolisim/ or burning fat??

    i know that apple cider vinegar has great health benefits. I think hot stuff like chili pepers etc. can help speed up your metabolism. also try green tea (but i think it has to be 8 cups a day or something)

    Just brew half a dozen bags of green tea, put in a big water bottle with a few slices of lemon and a couple packs of splenda and sip on it. If you're drinking as much water as you should be throughout the day its nothing. I use a 1 litre water bottle. Give it a shot. It's a nice break from plain water all day too

    Grapefruit juice will not really help you lose any weight. It is proposed to help lower insulin . Which would help people that are obese/Diabetic but not really body builders to the same extent. Although it cannot hurt and is a great fruit for obvious health reasons.

    Apple Cider Vinegar is much of the same, it is used as a glucose dispersal agent, much like R-ALA, Cinnamon etc....Appple Cider Vinegar also has tremendous overall health qualities, and should be consumed with carbs as it will help our body process them more efficiently. I know many that take a shot of ACV with their post workout shake. Would also be wise to consume some with any carb up or re-feed. Check out Pubmed there is tons of great info on ACV.

    Both of these will most certainly "aid" in weight loss and overall health but I wouldn't call them fat burners, they indirectly aid weight through glucose metabolism. Hope this helps.
