Do Negative Calorie Foods Work?

Negative calorie foods is there such a thing a lot of you are asking me well there are books being written about negative calorie foods what are they the theory is that not every calorie is burned equally in your body according to proponents of the negative calorie effect especially dr. Neal Barnard from the George Washington University School of Health there are foods that require more energy to digest than the food actually provides in other words the caloric cost digesting the food would equal negative calories these are you should plant derived and they’re very high in water content and fiber and since your body takes a longer time to burn off fibrous foods your metabolism stays revved up and jump starts weight loss now here is the theory a piece of desert consisting of 400 calories might only require a hundred and fifty calories to be digested so you end up with a net gain of 250 calories which is added to your body fat but if you eat a hundred calories of a food that requires 150 calories to digest then you’ve burned off an additional 50 calories get it now I agree it’s theoretically possible to have a negative calorie food but I have not seen any scientific studies and you all know Barbara likes to see these studies however I tried eating lots of negative calorie foods for about 10 to 14 days and I actually lost 10 pounds and is difficult for me to lose a pound because I’m fan and I’m pretty much already at my fighting weight so you try it and let me know what happens we’ll do our own study ok let’s look at 10 negative calorie foods almonds they’re very high in fiber they promote feelings of satiety so you feel full and you don’t snack or over eat number two apples they contain polyphenols that help reduce belly fat and packed in helps you feel full by keeping the water for losing weight food in your stomach longer number three berries especially strawberries they’re loaded with fiber and very thermogenic so they boost up your metabolism they can also regulate leptin which is the hormone which keeps hunger in check number four celery ah good old celery will get the hearts they’re very tasty celery is very high in fiber and probably a true negative food number five citrus fruits that would be your grapefruit you lemons your oranges they contain vitamin C that burns body fat and carnitine which converts fatty acids and weight loss with water to fuel number six cruciferous veggies and antioxodants these are broccoli cauliflower Brussels and cabbage cabbage oh my I’m polish so I ate a lot of cabbage in my youth I mean a lot I still love it I slice it raw and dip in an oil and vinegar or you can make the famous cabbage soup and sip it all day and I also found this which I wanted to share with you this is angel hair called angel hair coleslaw but all it is is a bag of cabbage shaved into an angel hair shape or size so I’ll throw this in a bowl maybe with some dressing or I put marinara sauce on it this is going to be negative calories according to the negative calorie performance has a lot of fiber and also cruciferous veggies contain in daltrey carbonyl and dim that stops the growth of fat cells by reducing the bad estrogens and by the way if you think you’re high in estrogen I’ll tell you at the end what to do cukes they’re loaded with insoluble fiber and they delay the body’s absorption of glucose or sugar which is stored as fat number eight is your green leafy veggies lettuce spinach kale arugula mustard greens chard you can branch out on any and all of them they contain phytonutrients that stabilize appetite and decrease body weight and they also help with cholesterol number nine are your night shades well what are those Barbara will their tomatoes red and green bell peppers eggplant chilies and jalapenos they’re high and water and lots of fiber and fat burners the v shaped abs person in hot peppers is very thermogenic and also burns are curbs appetite aight a lot of hot peppers folks number ten the mushroom all mushrooms are low low low in calorie you can saute them as a side dish and even that big boy portobello is low so it makes a great replacement for bathe in a burger also here’s a little bonus if you like beans black beans one cup has 30 grams of fiber so that would almost theoretically be a negative calorie there you go my best list of the negative calorie foods dieting that you’ve asked me about now I want you to look at my snack plate yum you can munch on this all day I put a little pepper on my cute and that little hole in the middle is my oil and vinegar for dipping in the cabbage and the kicks if you need a cheat in a lot of you at night I really need to treat one sweet potato one little small one has four grams of fiber and will probably be you know no harm to you and your weight loss now did tell you about the estrogen if you’re packing pounds on around the middle right there where you know you get the muffin top please watch my video on estrogen detox it’s easy to do I care about you and I remain your weight-loss cheerleader
