Foods that Burn Fat Fast
By creating heat and speeding up the metabolism
When your body temperature increases, your metabolism will also speed up, thereby helping your body burn calories. There are some foods, which will raise the body's temperature more than other foods and will help you burn fat.
Foods that increase our body temperature:
Chillies· Jalapenos· Cinnamon, a fat burning spice: 1/2 tsp in powdered form can be added to either tea/coffee/cereal or low fat milk.
Reducing calorie intake by digestion
Some foods reduce the amount of calories that you absorb, due to their high fibre content. Fibre is excellent for digestion and moves food faster through the digestive tract, meaning fewer calories are absorbed.It is important to drink plenty of water when you increase your fibre content, or it can cause build up in your intestine leading to constipation.Additional ways that high fibre foods help us with the weight loss is by helping us to feel satisfied and fuller for a longer duration.

Chemical properties
Some foods contain chemicals that are conducive for fat loss. Vitamin C from citrus fruits and capsaicin in chilies are beneficial for weight loss. Vitamin C promotes the production of carnitine in the body, which oxidises fatty acids (breaks them down/burns fat).

Oranges
Lemons
Mangoes
Garlic
Onions
High protein consumes more energy
Meats and legumes are the best examples of foods, which are high in protein. High protein foods require more energy from the body to process, so they have contain fat burning properties.
Protein is good for muscle building, which in turn helps to boost metabolism
Chicken (lean cuts, no skin)
Salmon
Tuna
Sardines
Chickpeas
Low fat Yoghurt
Egg whites
The above mentioned foods have indirect fat burning properties; can be easily introduced into the diet, are commonly available and have multiple health benefits.
Foods High in Glutamic Acid
Glutamic acid mostly benefits the neurological brain function and metabolism. It is necessary for learning, memory and acts as brain fuel.
Glutamic acid, glutamate or theanine is a non-essential amino acid that is very common in plants and animals. Virtually every food contains glutamate. It's a major component of protein rich food like meat, eggs, poultry, milk, cheese, and fish. Glutamate or Glutamic acid is also ubiquitous in grain, beans, vegetables, mushrooms, fruits and nuts.

A handful of nuts and flaxseeds for vegetarians and one serving of fatty fish for non-vegetarians are best sources of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
