No foods burn fat. Fatloss is a product of taking in fewer calories than you burn over time. Food choices however are important to fatloss. Lean protein and veggies are a plus. Super processed foods like donuts, cookies, chips, non diet sodas and accohol are a problem so eliminate or at least minimize those.5

No such thing. Whatever you eat will broken down and absorbed by the body. Fat gets burned when ENERGY BALANCE leans towards the body burning more energy than it's taking in.

True. But I'd throw some cardio in too. Just for the heck of it.0 -

There are calorie burning activities. Heck, there are fat burning activities: Sleep is the very most fat burning activity for most people, in the sense that nearly all the calories burned during sleep come from fat.
Generally, loosely, as activity intensity ramps up, the more calories are burned from carbs (glycogen and friends) as a percentage of the total, and the fewer calories are burned from fat.
For weight loss, what matters is the overall calorie balance, right?
Which fuel we're burning in the moment doesn't matter for weight loss. Only endurance athletes need to care about that.
No food burns more calories than it contains. Some foods require a higher percentage of their calories to be spent in metabolizing that particular food, but it's not a net gain in any case, just a smaller net. Protein has a higher thermic effect of food (TEF), vs. carbs or fat (more calories burned to metabolize it). There's some very limited research suggesting that less-processed foods have a higher TEF than highly processed foods. Worrying about any of that tends to be majoring in the minors IMO, when it comes to what percentage of total daily calorie burn (TDEE) is in play in the best vs. worst circumstances.
Just eat food you find filling and calorie appropriate, as the first goal. If that's going pretty well, tweak your eating to be closer to optimally nutritious - not because that burns more calories in itself, but because it gives you the best odds of long-term good health and high energy level. That's a pretty good strategy.
Drop the idea of weight loss hacks altogether. It's a distraction from the main game.0 -
