Weight Loss Tools - Negative calorie Foods
Are there such things as "negative calorie foods"?
Unfortunately, all food contains calories no matter how few. So why a list of "negative calories foods"?
The secret is in the process of digestion.
Normally, the body uses up about 10% of the total calories you take in during the day, processing the food you eat so that it can be used by the body (or stored as fat!).
With negative calorie foods the energy used in digesting the food is greater than the energy (calories) in it.
Can you eat nothing but these foods all day?
Well, not really. You would not have a balanced diet and it would be very boring. Cabbage all day, anyone? No thanks!
But negative calorie foods are great at filling you up without adding calories. You can use them to add variety and bulk to meals without worrying about the calories, they contain. And as the list consists only of fruit and vegetables, adding these foods will also help you add essential vitamins and minerals to your diet.
