Top Weight Loss Foods

SHOOT: Some interesting ideas here but I disagree with Ice Coffee in partcular. In fact I can't think of a worse thing to put into your body other than ice cream perhaps. Milk, also, not sure if that's so great to drink - rather drink water, or flavored or sparkling water. Your best bet for breakfast is a high fibre cereal. Yep, not tasty - but one thing lacking in this lot is fibre. It's also lacking in our diets in general.

Full-Fat Cheese
This dairy product is an excellent source of casein protein-- one of the best muscle-building nutrients you can eat. What's more, Danish researchers found that even when men ate 10 ounces of full-fat cheese daily for 3 weeks, their LDL ("bad") cholesterol didn't budge.
Pork Chops
Per gram of protein, pork chops contain almost five times the selenium--an essential mineral that's linked to a lower risk of prostate cancer--of beef, and twice that of chicken. And Purdue researchers found that a 6-ounce serving daily helped people preserve their muscle while losing weight.
Iced Coffee
Coffee reduces your appetite, increases your metabolism, and gives you a shot of antioxidants.
Grapefruit
Although the mechanism isn’t clear, the researchers speculate that grapefruit’s acidity may slow your rate of digestion, helping keep you full longer.
Apple
Turns out, an apple a day may also keep the extra weight away.
Eggs
Skip the cold cereal:
Salmon
