The lowdown on negative calorie foods

The food that we consume has some calories or the other. Some food has more calories while some have less.

It depends on what you eat and how long it takes to digest it. There is something called as negative calorie foods that have an overall effect on our body.

These foods take more caloric energy to digest than what they actually contain. In other words, it is difficult to break down and process calories from these foods, hence the body works harder to digest these foods so burning more than the foods caloric value.

I can explain this with example. A piece of cake contains 400 calories but uses only 150 calories to digest it so you have an excess of 250 calories that turn into fat. On the other hand, salads have 250 calories but take 400 calories to digest it, so you burn an extra 150 calories by simply eating a salad.

Similarly a fruit contains 100 calories but takes 200 calories to digest so you burn 100 more calories. Generally 10% of your calorie intake is used to process and digest food. More calories you consume more weight you’ll gain and vice versa.

But with the intake of negative calorie food you burn stomach fat, but at the same time you must also reduce the intake of high calorie food, or else you’ll off-set the positive result that negative calorie foods have on your body.

To summarize, you should increase negative calorie food intake, reduce high calorie food and also couple it with regular exercise so that you lose water weight effectively and quickly.

Make sure you consume negative calorie food without adding any other ingredients to it or else it will negate its positive effects.
