Negative Calorie Foods Aid Weight Loss

Diet Tips

The argument over negative calorie foods is going to continue on rage on, but there's one thing that absolutely can not be argued with: a diet that is very high in the fruit and vegetables on this list is going to help the far majority of people lose weight, and possibly lose weight very quickly. For many dieters who have had bad eating habits for a very long time, it's surprising how much weight is lost just from stopping bad habits: soda (which the carbonation also keeps on bloat and excess water weight), sugars, and fast food are are very bad for a person's health, and for many people just cutting these out and doing nothing else is enough to lose weight.

Now snack constantly on negative calorie fruits & vegetables all day like cucumbers, carrotts, apples, grapefruit, and watermelon and not only are you constantly eating, which keeps the metabolism burning, but you're not feeding yourself any fat and you're not feeding yourself a lot of calories: meaning you're getting full on 200 calories instead of 800. Whether or not negative calorie foods technically create a negative caloric effect or not doesn't really matter because the point is that these foods are extremely healthy, low in calories, but also high in vitamins and fiber that you need to be healthy and full.

So one of the best diet tips would be to tell people to eat more of the foods that are on a negative calorie foods list. In addition, this is obviously a very vegan friendly diet and a good boost for vegetarians, as well.

However this diet isn't for everyone, and if this information just isn't quite what you're looking for, then take a look at this site that has a ton of good information on how to lose weight.

Negative Calories: Vegetarian & Vegan Friendly

Negative Calories Vegetarian Friendly

One of the reasons that negative calorie foods work so well in a diet plan is that they are all foods that could be eaten by both vegetarians or vegans. Because of this, you could accurately refer to the negative calorie diet as a vegetarian diet or even as a vegan diet. This can help explain why the negative caloric effect works: these are all going to be healthy foods that are high in water, high in fiber, low in calories, and almost none of them have any fat. Having a diet filled with these types of foods is a slam dunk way to drop extra weight. Have you ever seen someone get 100 lbs overweight by eating carrots, celery, apples, or other fruits and veggies? Me neither.

The negative calorie food diet is often called a fad diet, and in some ways that might be true, but if a diet is designed to lose weight and it works, wasn't that the point? Negative calorie foods diets were not meant to be a full time weight loss eating plan, but as a crash diet. Negative calorie crash diets are short, usually 10 day, diet plans where all the food you can eat (and it's usually in large or virtually unlimited amounts) is from the list of negative calorie foods, but then after ten days you take at least a week off, eating reasonably to help keep the weight off.

There are many people who slam negative calorie foods, but a lot of this is because of common mis-perceptions, or because of technical arguments over what "negative calorie" actually means and how the negative caloric effect works as opposed to whether or not this diet actually works or not, which should be the only thing that is really heavily important when discussing weight loss plans. And for all the arguments back and forth, there's no argument that if you want to lose weight, that negative calorie diets work. One way to even prove this is that there are tons of knock off diets that are in some way based off the idea of negative calorie foods, or are based around a certain negative calorie fruit or negative calorie vegetable. The pineapple diet and cabbage soup diet are both great examples of this.

Negative calorie foods help dieters lose weight, so if you're looking to drop some weight, then this is the way to go. Besides, just think of all that tasty negative calorie fruit available!

Negative Calorie Foods Diet: 4 Tips to Help Your Negative Calorie Diet

Many people are becoming interested in trying out a negative calorie food diet, but even with the wide range of free information online about negative calories and the zero calorie diet (as this diet plan is often referred to), it can still be difficult for individuals to take all that disjointed information about negative calories and put it together in an eating plan that will help you lose weight and take full advantage of a negative calorie diet.

Part of the reason for this is that the negative calorie diet is a suplemental diet. This means that it's not meant to be a complete list of the only foods you can eat. In fact, if you only eat negative calorie foods, that's a bad thing because eventually you will more or less starve to death from a lack of protein and necessary good fats in your diet. On the other hand, even people who understand this concept can have a hard time making a zero calorie diet work. How do you know if you're enjoying the full effect of these negative calorie vegetables and negative calorie fruits when you have to supplement them with other food?

Following in this post are four quick tips to help you get the most out of adding negative calories to your diet.

4 Tips to Get the Most Out of a Negative Calorie Diet

  1. Follow a diet realted to negative calorie foods. The grapefruit diet and cabbage soup diet are two examples of diets that use the negative calorie foods concept, but also have a stable eating plan clearly laid out that is much easier to follow.
  2. One of the best ways to maximize the use of negative calorie foods in the diet is to use them in a negative calorie soup. The cabbage soup diet is especially based around this idea, and it's fairly easy to make some really tasty and well seasoned negative calorie diet soups from the vegetables available.
  3. A lot of people munch on carrots, cucumbers, and celery for three days before going nuts due to lack of taste. While most foods on the negative calorie food list are vegetables, don't forget about negative calorie fruit, which add variety and flavor and is much easier to snack on.
  4. Don't cut back on negative calorie foods! This one doesn't make sense to me at all. If you're going to be eating negative calorie foods, why just eat 1,000 calories a day worth? No one in the history of mankind has gotten fat from eating apples, oranges, carrots, cucumbers, and celery. These are your diet foods. Limiting them is only going to make you hungry and irritable.

Those four tips can help deal with the majority of problems that dieters run into while trying a negative calorie diet. Negative calories can add an amazing kick start to your weight loss plans, and having these foods replace high calorie and unhealthy foods also teaches you the eating habits you will need to keep the weight off.
