    Um, nope. Mistake #1, believing what you read. Broscience.

    Mistake number two: stealing from other websites and copying and pasting without citing.

    "They keep you full for longer hours"? I thought an hour was the same length everywhere. Clearly you have much to teach me.

    Peppers: jalapeños, habañeros, and cayennes don't just add flavor—thanks to a chemical called capsaicin, these veggies amp up your calorie burn too. "Research shows that a spicy meal can increase your metabolism by up to 25 percent for three hours after you've eaten it

    My BMR: ~1300
    "Metabolism" per hour: ~54 calories per hour
    25% of 54: 13.5
    Extra calories burned: 40
    Calories per serving of jalapenos: 26
    Net calorie burn: 14

    THE FAT JUST WALKS AWAY!

    Green Tea: Green tea contains epigallocatechin, which stimulates the nervous system—without elevating your heart rate. The Journal of Nutrition reports that people who drank green tea and exercised regularly burned more calories than those who sweated but didn't sip.

    Cinnamon:Cinnamon is a great natural metabolism

    Blueberries: Blueberries are loaded with antioxidants, high on fiber content and they keep you full for longer hours.

    Cranberry juice: Besides being high in anti-oxidants, cranberry juice is also an excellent diuretic which removes all the excess fluids from your body. This cuts down on weight gain due to fluid retention.

    Sources?

    The reason I have enjoyed this forum over the last couple weeks is that posts like this get some very well-earned shade thrown at them. Posts like this are the reason I've hated internet forums for so long. People actually believe this stuff. When I dispute them, I get flamed. So I leave.

    Let me tell you something about spicy foods "increasing metabolism" (a phrase that makes no sense). I have been cooking extremely spicy Indian foods for years, and I have about 50 pounds of girth to show for it.

    And cinnamon? Is there any recipe in the world that calls for more than a teaspoon of cinnamon? I mean except for the Cinnabon recipe I made a few months ago? I swear, I ate three of those beauties and didn't lose an ounce!

    "Research shows...." -- that always raises a sea of red flags for me. Cite references, and they'd better be from Mayo Clinic or Johns Hopkins. Gawd, nutritional pseudoscience makes my teeth itch.

    I do have blueberries several times a week though, because I love them.

    Maybe the extra 25%-50% is due to the extra time spent in the bathroom?

    I've eaten these foods without exercising and I did see results within two weeks. Whether you believe what I have to say or not it works, at least for me did
    No it didn't.

    I've lost 125 lbs eating what I want and more than 1200 calories per day. Cinnamon is great in cookies, ice cream, but I use it for flavor not because of some miracle metabolism boost.

    Could it be that you lost the 20 lbs cause you were eating 1200 calories??? Nah that couldn't be it

    thinks special foods help.
    eats in with a calorie deficit.
    loses weight.
    blames loss on special foods.

    :scream:

    confirmation bias!
