There can't be any.
There is no such thing as magic skinny food. If you eat it and don't use it...then you won't lose it.
Sure there can.
People eat when they're hungry and stop once they're full. Your gut bacteria appear to be a significant factor in that process. More specifically the lack of certain bacteria giving you a nice "you're full now" message appears to be correlated with obesity. The idea is if you're one of those people who are overweight and don't have a good population of that specific bug they can introduce it into your body. You'll be told you're full at the proper time now, and weight loss will be the result.
^ thats not food
That is a naturally occurring bacteria culture within the human body. If people are missing it a food isn't going to help them, the missing bacteria culture will.
Now is the bacteria culture missing causing obesity.
Or is Obesity causing the bacteria culture to disappear.
(people who over time eat less and less do so because they get fuller faster, perhaps the amount you eat dictates the volume and strength of this bacteria?)
In either regard reducing your consumption levels and using your stored proteins (fat) to fill the gap will reduce the levels of your "unhealthy" weight, to support your "healthy" weight. Fat isn't inherently unhealthy (it is a natural process of our energy system) what is unhealthy is that larger people tend to have less healthy respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Large in part to them not being physically active....we can say this because if they were physically active the food stuff they consume would be burned as energy to support their required mass, not stored energy in fat.
Changing ones mass is entirely dependent on that persons willingness to either 1) Be active burning consume mass as energy or 2) Consume less mass.
or (in my case) 3) Consume more mass
Then again I have weighed 125-135 for the past 15 years...So maybe I eat exactly what I need to to keep myself in the weight range I feel best at.
