Can a food increase heat production to burn more fat?

Q: What foods can increase heat production to burn more fat?

A: Actually, all foods can elevate your body temperature after a meal, but some do it better than others. For example, refined carbohydrates produce more after-meal heat than complex starches, high fat foods elevate body temperature more than high fiber foods. However, refined carbs and the like will create more energy that you can expect to burn through the enhanced thermogenesis.
