Negative Calorie Food - What The Heck Is It?
Scientists have identified foods that actually
stimulate fat burning, and, by consuming them, you have what is known as a
negative
calorie effect. In essence, these foods actually burn up more calories
than they add to the body. This has the opposite effect of
low metabolism.
For example, a piece of pie consisting of 350 calories may need about 100
calories of energy to be digested and broken down by the body. In this case,
there will be 250 additional calories that will eventually be stored as body
fat.
On the other hand, a stalk of celery may need the
same number (100 energy calories) to be broken down and digested, resulting in a
net loss of 95 energy calories that the body can use to get rid of excess body
fat. New research focuses on how the body can actually use calories from certain
foods to rid the body of excess fat and
reduce weight, safely and
effectively.
While there are many different foods and variations
that can help you maintain normal weight levels, it is important to have some
idea of the categories and the types of foods, which support the metabolic
processes. Dr. George Redmon in his book, "Natural Born Fatburners" lists 100
fat burning foods. Some of the most popular of these negative calorie foods are
corn, carrots, lettuce, broccoli, pineapple, celery, peas, cabbage, apples and
grapefruit.
While the list above represents only a small portion
of possible fat
burning foods, you may want to start with ten to fifteen different types of
foods. Slowly replace your current food combinations with these negative calorie
foods. Additionally, by rotating the food combinations you can slowly shift your
metabolic rate from "park" to "overdrive." |
