Foods That Promote Natural Weight Loss
Information for Natural Weight Loss
The phrase “negative calories” seems to be causing some confusion as it suggests there are foods which possess no calories at all. All food contains some energy because they include an amount of carbohydrate, protein or fat either alone or in varying amounts. All these macro nutrients are energy sources thus all food contains some energy.
The negative calorie phrase refers to a small list of foods which contain such little energy that the body uses more energy to digest and absorb the energy and nutrients. This means just from eating these foods there is potential for a net loss of calories from the body or a negative calorie balance, and this is required in order to lose weight.
We are unsure as to whether negative calorie foods are fact or fiction. There needs to be more research done in order to prove or disprove the theory. Although we do believe if negative calorie foods help people consume fewer calories AND eat healthier foods then it can be a positive start to permanent weight loss!
The lists the foods which are supposed to have a negative calorie effect on the body. One thing to remember is that the body needs a certain amount of calories and nutrients each day for healthy functioning. Eating a lot more of these negative calorie fruits and vegetables may help you lose weight but they should still only make up part of a balanced diet.
What are negative calorie foods? They are foods that consist of less calories than the calories required for your body to absorb, metabolize and digest them. So eat the following foods as much as you want and watch the fat disappear!
Natural Weight Loss foods include:
Vegetables: Cauliflower, aubergine (eggplant), leek, cabbage, turnip, lettuce, carrots, peppers, celery, radish, broccoli, spinach, gourds, watercress, tomato, fennel, chicory, and cucumber.
Fruits: Honey dew melons, lemons, blackberry, cantaloupe, tangerines, peaches, watermelons, apricots, plums, black currant, damsons, clementines, strawberries, raspberry, grapefruits, rhubarb, and guava.
Combining negative calorie foods with good protein sources not only helps control appetite but will help maintain the metabolism because total calories are not cut too much, plus the amino acid pool is maintained which limits the loss of muscle. What an ingenious way to promote weight loss!
