Negative Calorie Foods
All food has calories, but these are foods that take up more caloric energy to digest than the calories that are in them. Your body has to expend energy in order to digest and absorb foods, in fact, 10% of your daily caloric intake is used to process foods in your body.
So these "negative" calorie foods are foods that take more calories to digest than actual calories in the item of food. Here is a brief list of negative calorie foods. You can basically eat these items in any quantity you want during the day... remember though, this is for the raw version of the food. Adding butter, etc., to any of these things will eliminate the negative calorie effect.
Vegetables: asparagus, beets, broccoli, cabbage (green), carrots, cauliflower, celeriac (celery root), celery chicory, Chile peppers (hot), cucumbers, dandelion,
endive, garden cress, garlic, green beans, lamb's lettuce, lettuce, onion, papaya, radishes, spinach, turnips, zucchini
Fruits: apples, cranberries, grapefruit, lemon mango, oranges, pineapple, raspberries, strawberries, tangerines
Fat Burning Foods
Take a careful look at the foods and formulate the best way to add them to your diet. If you add them, you'll be pleasantly surprised how your diet, metabolism, and everything will improve.
Citrus Fruits
Citrus fruits like, oranges, grapefruit, tangerines, lemons, and limes contain high concentrations of Vitamin C (this is also called ascorbic acid). This Vitamin C has a fat burning quality.
Vitamin C reduces the effectiveness of fat. It reduces its content and can liquify or dilute fat. By diluting the fat, it makes it less effective, and easier to flush out of your system. Vitamin C also works on cholesterol deposits. Vitamin C can help burn out the cholesterol, making it difficult for cholesterol deposits to form in blood vessels.
Soybeans
Soybeans contain lecithin, this chemical will shield your cells from accumulating fat. This chemical prevents fat from forming on your cells. It will also break down fatty deposits in your body.
Apples, Berries, Fresh Fruit
Apples contain a chemical called pectin. This chemical is found in most berries and fresh fruit. The pectin is in the cell walls of most fruits, especially apples. Pectin limits the amount of fat your cells can absorb. Pectin, once in your system, has a water binding property, it absorbs watery substances, and these watery substances in turn bombard the cells and make it release fat deposits. Add applesauce (it's loaded with pectin), apples, fresh fruit and berries, to your diet and let the power of pectin pulverize the fat that accumulates on your cells.
Garlic Oil
Garlic oil or the juice of garlic has a significant protective quality to cells which help to reduce fatty deposits. When taken, it brings down the levels of fat. Garlic, garlic oil, or anything with garlic, also has an antibiotic property to it and can be used to cure many ailments.
Asparagus
Asparagus contains the chemical asparagine. This is an alkaloid that stimulates the kidneys and improves the circulatory process. These alkaloids directly affect the cells and break down fat. It also contains a chemical that helps to remove waste from the body by breaking up the oxalic acid, this acid tends to glue fat to cells, so by breaking the acid up, it helps to reduce fat levels.
Beets
Beets are a strong diuretic that focuses on the liver and kidneys. Beets flush out floating body fats. They have a special iron the cleanses the corpuscles, blood cells that can contain fat deposits. It also contains a chlorine that also helps to flush out fatty deposits.
Brussel Spouts
This vegetable stimulates the glands, the pancreas especially, which releases hormones the have a cleansing effect on the cells. There are also minerals that stimulate the kidneys. Waste is released quicker and it helps to clean out the cells.
Cabbage
Cabbage contains sulphur and iodine, which helps to cleanse the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines. Cabbage is a great food if you have a pot belly or a middle age spread. The diuretic cabbage will help to break up the fat in this area.
Carrots
Carrots contains carotene, a form of Vitamin A, this carotene will start a fat flushing reaction in your system. This reaction will literally wash out fat and waste quickly. The carotene will be transformed into vitamin A in the intestines and this process will create a speed up in your metabolism and cause a reaction in your cells to remove fat deposits.
