It is important that you understand that though you are trying to lose weight you still have to eat. Eating is not synonymous to weight gain, you only gain weight when you don't watch what you are eating. That is the reason why it is important to make wise choices when it comes to food. However, there are some foods that are capable of speeding up your metabolic rate simply because these foods are not easily digested and the body has to exert twice as much energy to be able to digest it completely.
Here are some examples of foods that will help increase your metabolic rate.
High fiber foods. We all know that dietary fiber is not easily digested in the stomach, therefore the stomach has to make twice as much effort in order to be able to digest it. In addition to that water soluble fibers absorb water inside the stomach causing to inflate. When these fibers are filled with water it tricks your brain to thinking that you are still full. Eating high fiber foods like fruits and vegetables can surely help you control your urge to eat. With the constant feeling of fullness you rarely feel hungry and you don't have to eat more often than you should. 
Butter that is filled with protein. Quite ironic right? Well, regular butter is filled with fat, too much fat. The fat that is found in regular butter is the very fat that can result to weight gain. However, there is another kind of butter that is not loaded with fat but with protein instead. This butter is called peanut butter, not only is peanut butter loaded with protein but it is also filled with dietary fiber as well. Protein helps burn fat by allowing you to build lean muscles while dietary fiber keeps you full thus reducing the portion of food that you take in. Combining these two can certainly help you lose weight.
Green tea is also said to be efficient in helping one lose weight. Experts say that a cup of green tea before your morning meal can be very helpful because aside from fat burning chemicals it contains green tea is also filled with antioxidants. Antioxidants protect the body from the harmful effect of toxins.
Lastly, foods that contain good fat can also help boost your metabolism. This is the very reason why it is important for you to know which foods that contain good fat and bad fat. Almonds are an example of foods that contain good fat. Since almonds are loaded with good fat it is rich with fatty acids as well which is needed to boost the body's metabolic rate.
