✿◠‿◠) Did you know there are Negative Calorie Foods‽‽.... Neither did I❣


Hi guys!, I just found some information that I´m sure you would like!...After doing some research on calories and talking to a dear person of mine i found out that there is something called NEGATIVE CALORIE FOOD!... According to the theory, a negative calorie food is any food that requires more energy to digest than the energy (calories) actually contained in the food. The idea here is that by eating these foods, you can burn more calories than you consume and lose weight more rapidly and efficiently. 

Foods that are claimed to be negative in calories are mostly low-calorie fruits and vegetables such as grapefruit, lemon, lime, apple, lettuce, celery, broccoli and cabbage. Celery, a commonly cited negative calorie food, actually requires only about 10% of its food energy content to be digested (due to the thermic effect). Zero-calorie beverages, such as water, do take more than zero calories to process within the body.


Here i have the entire list of what some call Negative Calorie Food:

Negative Calorie Veggies

If you want to get the most nutrition possible while still maintaining eating as few calories as possible, you may wish to add plenty of these negative calorie veggies to your diet. They include celery, cucumber, garlic, lettuce, green beans, spinach, zucchini, onion, radish, asparagus, cabbage, cauliflower, carrot and beet root.

Negative Calorie Fruits

Many fruits are also negative calorie foods while offering plenty of Vitamin C and other nutrients at the same time. Examples of these fruits include peach, pineapple, tomato, watermelon, cranberries, blueberries, apple, grapefruit, mango, orange, lemons, limes, papaya, cantaloupe, honeydew, raspberries, strawberries, tangerine and watermelon.


While this concept is popular in dieting guides, there is no scientific evidence that any of the foods claimed as negative calorie foods are such, but i think it is worth it to try them and incorporate them to our diets and see how it goes! ()

What do you guys think?
