We all love our steaks and our spuds but what if we could make them
healthier? Well, according to research currently being conducted all
over the world, there are certain spices, vegetables and fruits that
can
actually turn an unhealthy dish into one that burns the cals!
Horseradish: It comes from the Brassicaceae family (which includes
mustard, wasabi and broccoli) and while it may be super spicy, it can
help dissolve fat from inside your cells, which research from the
University of Copenhagen says may stop you from getting hungry. It goes
incredibly well with steak, so you’ll be having what you love while
losing weight!
Cinnamon: Research by the American Department of Agriculture discovered
that consuming a quarter of a teaspoon of cinnamon every day for six
weeks can significantly reduce your blood glucose and cholesterol
levels. Seasoning your dishes with this tasty spice or substituting
sugar for cinnamon in your cappuccino can help you lose weight in the
long run!
Pineapple: Being a natural source of enzyme bromelain - an enzyme that
breaks down protein and helps raise the metabolic rate - pineapples are
serious fat-fighters! Combining this with jalapeños can boost your
weight loss and help you lose weight like nothing else, especially as
Laval University in Canada found that these spicy devils help burn
1,000
more calories a day when eaten!
Grapefruit: This citrus fruit is jam-packed with vitamin C and,
according to research conducted at the Scripps Clinic in San Diego,
eating grapefruit daily as part of a 12-week weight-loss plan can help
you shed an extra 1.4kg!
Coconut Milk: Yes, coconut milk is fattening but its fats are essential
for our metabolism; so much so, that after one meal which has coconut
milk in it, your metabolic rate could increase by 5%.
Celery: Your mind might have already wandered to a Bloody Mary, and you
know what? That’s great! This vegetable is low in calories but
super-high in fibre - meaning you’ll feel fuller for longer. The
calcium
you get from it will also help bind waste fats and cleanse your body
from them.
Black Pepper: The most common spice of all, and one of the most
nutritious! Black pepper’s active chemical, piperine, gets your
metabolism working faster and burning more calories according to the
journal Nutrition Today. On top of that, it also helps relieve the
symptoms of heartburn and indigestion.
Exercise, and some of the above with natural sugars would surely lose
weight?
I know that since I stopped my physical work, I have put on weight, not a
bad thing in my case, I have been skinny most of my life. But I am in an
overweight situation now.
Get the bike out and pedal. Thats what I'm doing, and I think it's
working. Makes me feel better about myself anyway.
It will certainly increase your stamina and breathing even if you don't lose
weight.

Medical research, the most fraudulent thing there is in the scientific community, it also ranks along side climate science for 'bad' science:
From:
Abstract
A detailed review of all 2,047 biomedical and life-science research articles indexed by PubMed as retracted on May 3, 2012 revealed that only 21.3% of retractions were attributable to error. In contrast, 67.4% of retractions were attributable to misconduct, including fraud or suspected fraud (43.4%), duplicate publication (14.2%), and plagiarism (9.8%). Incomplete, uninformative or misleading retraction announcements have led to a previous underestimation of the role of fraud in the ongoing retraction epidemic. The percentage of scientific articles retracted because of fraud has increased ∼10-fold since 1975. Retractions exhibit distinctive temporal and geographic patterns that may reveal underlying causes.
Misconduct accounts for the majority of retracted scientific publications
