Weight Loss Tips and Negative Calorie Diet:

All foods have some calories. No food is actually negative in calorie.

Then what is 'Negative calorie diet plan'.....Negative calorie foods are foods, which use more calories to digest than the calories the foods actually has.

Calories from these foods are much harder for the body to breakdown. Such as fibre rich Orange fruit is considered "negative calorie" than orange juice itself(though it is pulp rich)In other words, the body has to work harder in order to extract calories from these foods.

This gives these foods a tremendous natural fat-burning advantage, and are also known as fat burning foods.

A piece of Chocolate consisting of 400 calories may require only 150 calories to be digested by our body, resulting in a net gain of 250 calories which is added as our body fat! So if we have instead a carrot which is about 100 calories it requires 150 calories to digest the carrot. Ultimately 50 calorie is burnt.....just by eating this vegetable.

Typically, 100 gms of broccoli (maybe 25 calorie) requires 80 calories to digest, resulting in a net loss of 55 calories from our body's fat deposit!

Thus, the more you select your food, the more you lose weight!
