food that burn calories or boots metabolism

What are the types of food that boost metabolism or burn more calories ?

It's not a question of can't do dairy, it's a question of whether anyone should do dairy.  You're talking about allergy to dairy or dairy intolerance, but there are other reasons to avoid dairy according to many experts, including the most current research on osteoporosis.  If you ever see a holistic healer or integrated medicine practitioner and you have any problems at all with inflammation, digestion, etc. they will immediately start by taking you off dairy and wheat.  It's the easiest thing to try, the least invasive, and works pretty often.  These are foods invented by people (at least cow dairy) and dairy is a food not consumed by any other adult mammal (except for mother's milk until weaned).  Until milk became a marketed item people drank very little of it, though they did eat cultured dairy products.  In the US we're taught to consume tons of dairy, and it has had an effect, but it often doesn't show up until years later and then it's too late.  There is an adage in medicine, first, do no harm, so I always put in the caveat that it's best to avoid dairy and wheat if possible, or I should say, don't eat too much of it.  If you do eat wheat, eat soured wheat or sprouted wheat, and if you must eat dairy, eat cultured dairy.  But if there's an alternative that serves the purpose, then why not do that?  So this is what I say, but always leave it to the person to choose their own course.  My wife has taken over the last few years to consuming a lot of Greek yoghurt -- it has really helped her lose some weight she'd put on, but now she has problems with tendonitis in her hands and achilles.  Any connection?  I don't know, but that's the problem with dairy.

Pax Says MOST people! But it's not ALL people! So if you can't do dairy then you don't. As I stated in my post "Can't do dairy? Check out these"

Just my usual comment, which is that gymdandee believes that some information is better than none, and I agree, but that here is no one formula for everyone.  People have different metabolisms and react differently to food, so there's no one amount of protein that is right for everyone.  Experimentation or seeing a holistic nutritionist will tell you what works for you.  Most important is what to avoid, which is dairy, wheat, anything fortified with calcium, many of which are mentioned in the above post.  The reason is that these are the foods most often badly tolerated by most people, and most Americans get too much calcium, not too little.  Have no idea what calcium set tofu is -- that's how you make tofu, with a curdling agent called nigari, which contains calcium.  That's just what tofu is.  But I've often said the best weight loss diet I ever saw any group of people on is the macrobiotic diet, though it's not one I would use for other reasons, and it's not very protein heavy.  It relies more on a traditional Japanese diet, which is more vegetable and grain oriented, yet almost everyone on that diet loses a ton of weight.  So again, there is no one size fits all.  But we do know that certain foods are best avoided, such as those with too much saturated fat (not necessarily unhealthy, but often weight gainers, with the exception of fatty fish), foods with GMOs in them (recent studies find something about them seems to contribute to weight gain), and simple carbohydrates (white flour and sugar, for example) for reasons of metabolism.  Dairy seems to be good for weight loss, but bad for long-term health, including digestion, immune health, and inflammation, and too much calcium leaches magnesium out of the body, creating weak bones.  I suggest you have some homework to do.  Good luck, and with effort you will find what suits you.

To increase your metabolism practice the following habits. Putting on just 5 to 10 pounds of lean muscle mass will rev up your resting
metabolism the number of calories your body burns to maintain life by roughly 100 calories, each and every day.
Maximize the calories you burn after exercise by integrating high intensity intervals into your workout. Alternate 3 minutes of moderate intensity running or biking with 30 seconds of all out effort. You’ll burn another 100 to 200 calories this way,even while sitting.
Lack of sleep can decrease the number of calories your body burns just resting performing the basic necessities of life, like pumping blood,
breathing and repairing damaged tissues. The rate of calories your body burns at rest represents about 60% to 75% of your total daily calorie burning, which makes slowing it through lack of sleep a serious roadblock to weight loss.
Eating every 2 to 3 hours. Each time you eat, you stimulate your
metabolism for a short period of time, which means that the more often you eat, the more you’ll increase your metabolism. Eating every 2 to 3 hours feeds muscle and starves fat. By eating frequently,
you reassure your body that you aren’t going to starve; that food will always be available. Skipping breakfast, eating only a sandwich for lunch, and pigging out at dinner, on the other hand, frightens your body into storing fat, just in case your next meal never comes. Research from Georgia State University shows that people who eat every 2 to 3 hours have less body fat and faster metabolisms than those who eat only 2 or 3 meals per day.
Frequent eating doesn’t mean snacking, make each mini-meal complete -- with a serving of vegetables and a healthy source of protein like eggs, chicken, or nuts. Upping your intake of high-fiber foods like vegetables is one of the best ways to increase your metabolism. Fiber is a non-digestible carbohydrate, but the body tries hard to break it down anyway, using up energy  and boosting metabolism in the process. Plus, vegetables are low in calories, yet high in nutrients a huge boon for your weight loss.
Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil, may have the power to
dramatically boost your metabolism by about 400 calories per day. Fish oil increases levels of fat-burning enzymes and decreases levels of fatstorage
enzymes in your body. For the best metabolism boosting benefit, choose capsules containing at least 300 milligrams of EPA and DHA total.

Use this formula to determine the minimum amount of protein you should
eat daily to offset muscle loss and protect your metabolism while you lose weight.
#1  Estimate your ideal weight. "If you're a woman, start with 100 pounds for the first 5 feet in height, and add 5 pounds for every extra inch, For men, it's 106 pounds for 5 feet in height,
plus 6 pounds for every additional inch. However, if your ideal weight is less than 120 pounds, don't eat less than 82 g of protein daily.
#2 Ideal Weight (in lb) ÷ 2.2 = Ideal Weight (in kg)
#3 Ideal Weight (in kg) × 1.5 = Daily Protein Goal (in g)

Now that you know how much you need, check out these metabolism-boosting protein-packed foods.

Avocado, Protein content: 2 g per half avocado
The protein in this fruit contains all 9 essential amino acids, plus heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.

Cheese and milk
Protein content: 6-7 g per oz; 9-10 g per 1 cup
Go for low-fat options they generally contain more protein than fattier alternatives.

So first, get your vitamin D level checked and corrected if you're deficient; most people should be taking 2,000 IU of supplemental D3 every day. Once your vitamin D level is in the optimal range, your calcium needs usually can be met through diet.
The following foods provide adequate intake in the amounts listed eat a mix of them in smaller servings daily. canned salmon with bones (12 ounces); sardines (8 ounces); calcium-set tofu (6 ounces); calcium-fortified milk substitute (3 to 5 cups). Dark greens and broccoli are also good sources, but to get your daily allowance, you'd have to eat between 6 and 20 cups of them.
If you do opt for a calcium supplement, a reasonable dose would be 500 mg per day in divided doses of calcium citrate, which is more easily absorbed than other forms of calcium.
Tempeh, Protein 15 g per 1/2 cup
Its nougat like texture makes tempeh a smart stand-in for meat. Sauté, or crumble cooked tempeh over salads.
