Zero Calorie Food List

By Alex Blaken


You will find a free list of negative calorie foods below, but first let's consider what this means. There is no such thing as a negative calorie - a calorie is a unit of heat and it cannot be negative. So when people talk about negative calorie foods, this just means a food whose calorie level is low enough that it takes more energy to eat and digest it than the food contains.

For example, if you consider water to be a food, then cold water is certainly a negative calorie food. It contains no calories at all and the body has to expend energy to bring it up to blood temperature. So every time we drink a glass of cold water we burn up a couple of calories and lose a little weight. But there are very few foods like this. Most foods that are on the list do not really use more calories than they add, or if they do the effect is negligible ... until you remember that at the same time the body expends energy just to keep alive and breathing. Celery for example does not give us enough calories to cover both the energy that it takes to digest it, plus the energy that we expend even when we are doing nothing. So that is why people call it a negative calorie food.

Damaging calorie foods are most appealing to anorexics. An adverse calorie diet plan would obviously lead to hunger in the long run and lack can occur surprisingly quickly. The calories from fat burnt usually come from muscle tissue, and the result is debility and wasting.

A far more healthy way to utilize a damaging calorie weight loss program is as a form of going on a fast or detoxification. It is some thing that you can do for one to three days immediately after the Christmas period or any other time if you have been consuming a over-rich diet plan. Supplied you are or else wholesome it's really a great way to cleanse the machine. Yet it's nevertheless better to take medical health advice before attempting this.

If you decide to use a negative calorie detox, keep the following points in mind:

1. It's never a good idea to eat large amounts of one type of food, particularly fruits. Lots of meals contain substances that can be damaging if consumed to excess. For instance, the acidity in grapefruit and blueberry can damage your belly coating. Other meals place an excessive load on the liver organ or could cause looseness of the bowels. So use all of the different foods in small quantities.

2. Do not invest all day long eating. You will just become bloated and really feel ill. If you are only doing this for a couple days, you should not feel too hungry. Plan four or five greens meals every day, and allow your digestion relaxation sometimes.

3. You will really feel more satisfied if you eat slowly and chew your food completely. You will also use more calories from fat this way. Therefore if the meals could be consumed uncooked, that will be more efficient than cooking food them. Foods like celery and beets may also be as pleasing if you eat them grated.

4. Schedule time when you do not have any important commitments. As with fasting or any kind of detox, you may suffer some uncomfortable symptoms including headaches, tiredness, depression and irritability. If these become severe, stop the diet and see a doctor.

5. When you end the detox, plan a gradual return to normal eating.
