Negative Food with a Positive Impact?
By Fat Loss Insider

The entire concept of the "negative calorie food" is to eat particular foods that result in a negative calorie deficit to your body -- resulting in weight loss.

But can particular foods really have negative (less than zero) calories? Although there is no such food having negative calories -- once these particular foods are eaten and digested they can have an overall negative calorie effect in your body.

These particular foods -- mainly certain types of fruits and vegetables, which are generally low in calories and high in fiber -- basically cause your body to burn more calories than the actual calorie content of the foods. When you eat these foods your body must use its reserve energy stores (i.e. sugar and bodyfat calories) in order to completely digest them... and this is where the weight loss is derived.

The Negative Calorie Diet is based on eating LOTS of these particular foods causing your body to burn more calories than the foods themselves actually contain. So you'll feel full and create a negative calorie deficit to lose weight at the same time.

Following is a list of some of these negative calorie foods -- foods that burn more calories as you digest them than they contain.

Vegetables		Fruits
Asparagus Beet Broccoli Green Cabbage Carrot Cauliflower Celeriac (celery root) Celery Chicory Chili Peppers Cucumber Dandelion	Endive Garden Cress Garlic Green Beans Lettuce Onion Papaya Radishes Spinach Turnip Zucchini	Apple Blueberry Cantaloupe Cranberry Grapefruit Honey Dew Melon Lemon Mango Lime Orange Peach Pineapple Rasberry Strawberry Tangerines Watermelon

All negative calorie foods allow you to burn calories and possibly lose weight faster than normal. So this negative food may have a positive impact after all. A great source on the subject is the Negative Calorie Diet, which explains exactly how to use negative calorie foods to lose weight quickly without starving yourself.

The concept of negative calorie foods seem to be associated with eating large amounts of fruits and vegetables. Nevertheless, eating more of these healthy foods is a good way toward achieving optimum health and should of course be added to your diet anyway.
