15 FOODS THAT BOOST YOUR METABOLISM

All those foods are good for you, but they really don't boost your metabolism. Some may give you a quick buzz of energy and some help lower cholesterol, but once again, can't boost metabolism. The only thing that can do that, is exercise and healthy eating. But thanks for trying. Don't get me wrong, Dr. Oz has some good things on his show, but most of the time it's just to get people to buy crap. Good luck on your journey.

(you're welcome.)

Thank You for this list!:) And P.S.....If Dr. Oz is where you got this list from then more power to ya because I happen to love Dr. Oz and think highly of his opinions :drinker:

If you could cook and eat TROLLS they'd probably just make you sick anyway, though it's hard to tell what effect it would have on your metabolism.

Adding additional and truthful information isn't trolling. A "troll" isn't someone you dislike.

Thanks for posting this. Brilliant info, thanks

Are there foods that slow down your metabolism?

Double stuff Oreos. I have a peer reviewed *kitten* to prove it.

Thanks for making water come out my nose... I was drink as I read this..

Hahaha :drinker:

Food does not "boost your metabolism". This is a buzzphrase originally created to lure middle-aged women into easy-fix weight loss scams.

Thank you!

Some examples of poor advice that Dr. Oz has provided in the past...

http://www.randi.org/site/jref-news/1260-pigasus-2011

The Media Pigasus Award goes to Dr. Mehmet Oz, who has done such a disservice to his TV viewers by promoting quack medical practices that he is now the first person to win a Pigasus two years in a row. Dr. Oz is a Harvard-educated cardiac physician who, through his syndicated TV show, has promoted faith healing, "energy medicine," and other quack theories that have no scientific basis. Oz has appeared on ABC News to give legitimacy to the claims of Brazilian faith healer “John of God,” who uses old carnival tricks to take money from the seriously ill. He's hosted Ayurvedic guru Yogi Cameron on his show to promote nonsense "tongue examination" as a way of diagnosing health problems. This year, he really went off the deep end. In March 2011, Dr. Oz endorsed "psychic" huckster and past Pigasus winner John Edward, who pretends to talk to dead people. Oz even suggested that bereaved families should visit psychic mediums to receive (faked) messages from their dead relatives as a form of grief counseling.

It's best to take any advice he has given with a grain of salt. Do your due diligence and investigate other sources for validation of anything that he has said.

Or you could just respect the fact that different people believe in different things..to each his own.
