Are there fat-burning foods?

No food burns fat on its own. Protein has the highest thermic effect (20–30%) — that's the closest thing to a truth here.

Is fasting good for fat loss?

16:8 helps many people eat less — but fasting itself has no magic fat-burning boost compared to the same calorie deficit without fasting.

300–500 kcal per day produces about 0.5–1 lb of fat loss per week without lowering resting metabolic rate too much.
