Myth that certain foods, like grapefruit, celery, or cabbage soup, can burn fat and make you lose weight…, is that true??

Fact:
No foods can burn fat. Some foods with caffeine may speed up your metabolism (the way your body uses energy, or calories) for a short time, but they do not cause weight loss.
Tip:
The best way to lose weight is to cut back on the number of calories you eat and be more physically active.
