Metabolism boosting foods are discussed below.

Losing 10 lbs a month is a good and safe target. Any faster weight loss is likely to be temporary only and in most cases you regain it all.

Running, jogging, cycling, swimming, dancing, push ups, sit ups, squats, brisk walking and power walking all help for weight loss but dieting helps more.

You can always eat negative calorie foods for weight loss and below is a list of negative calorie foods that will boost your metabolism.

Negative Calorie Fruits:

apples

cranberries

grapefruit

lemons

mangoes

oranges

pineapple

raspberries

strawberries

tangerines

Negative Calorie Vegetables:

asparagus

beets

broccoli

cabbage (green)

carrots

cauliflower

celery

Chile peppers (hot)

cucumber

dandelions

endives

garden cress

garlic

green beans

lettuce

onions

papaya

radishes

spinach

turnips

These foods don't actually have negative calories but when you eat these foods raw or slightly cooked your body burns more calories digesting and processing them than what is in the food itself.

For a healthy weight loss add some of these foods to your diet each day. Most of them are full of healthy nutrients such as fiber, antioxidants and enzymes as well as vitamins and minerals.
