The Negative Calorie Diet

World's best selling diet and weight loss ebook! Lose weight for your health& fitness!

The theory behind the Negative Calorie diet is extremely appealing. It works on the idea that your body has to burn energy in order to digest certain foods. As a consequence, your body is actually burning fat. Take for example - an orange, which may contain 50 calories, it would take a certain amount of energy from your body to process all of the nutrients and vitamins within the orange. In doing so, you would burn more than 50 calories. However this is also highly dependent on the speed of your metabolism.

The Negative Calorie Diet claims that after consuming certain 'negative calorie foods' (like an orange), your body is left with a net calorie results which is a negative calorie deduction. So for every orange you eat, you should burn off 25 calories. This is why advocates of the Negative Calorie Diet encourage you to eat frequent healthy meals, in doing so you are actually increasing the speed of your metabolism.

Critics of the Negative Caloriet diet argue that no foods possess 'negative' calories and you cannot eat your way to weight loss. They also purport that by following the Negative Calorie Diet you are potentially offsetting your positive calorie energy reserves, cancelling out the effectiveness of weight training. This criticism argues that we need calories to create energy both for exercise and for recovering from exercise. On the other side of the debate, advocates of the Negative Calorie Diet concede it is true that there is no such food, which contain 'negative calories'. However they do argue that the by ingesting certain foods you are increasing the metabolic processes which can result in weight loss.

The Negative Calorie diet works on the concept that certain negative calorie foods contain a surplus of vitamins and minerals which can speed up enzyme production in quantities sufficient to break down not only its own calories, but possible additional calories present in the digestion system. These negative calorie foods includes: Asparagus, Watermelon, Pineapple, Grape Fruit, Papaya

I have just been so pleased. I really have changed the entire way myself and my husband eats. I have lost 40 lbs andmy husband has lost 60 lbs by incorporating ideas and cooking tips from the book into our lifestyle. A box of sugar-free chocolate fudgecicles lasts us over 2 weeks in the house now because we just do not feel the need to constantly be snacking. I wish I had taken before pictures of us but I just didn't believe the change would be so drastic!.

I know you said NOT to check my weight on the bathroom scale until the diet is over, but by day number 5 my pants wouldn't stay up! I lost 11 pounds! After I finished the diet, I didn't want any more junk food!

"I hope you don't mind, but I printed out my eBook and passed it around my quilting club. Between the 8 of us, we've lost over 100 pounds! Thanks so much!"
- Helen Woolley

"I admit, I was skeptical at first but the whole idea of negative calories made sense to me so I went ahead and bought it. Glad I did! I still go on it every once in a while when I need it, but my whole attitude about food has drastically changed. The best thing about it though, is that my back no longer hurts like it did when I was carrying that extra 27 pounds around. Thanks! "
