" The negative calorie diet is
established on the make-believe that you consume food that's negative
in calories. "
The only problem with this is fad diet is that all foods contain
calories. There's no such thing as a "negative calorie food." Yup, a
few foods do bring up the metabolism more than others food. For
instance it demands 25-30% of the caloric value of any protein source
to be digested and used by the body.
Thus a 400 calorie protein-rich meal would merely add 275-300 calories
to your daily caloric consumption. The balance of those calories would
be used for processing. For carbohydrates, only 6-8% of calories are
needed to be processed, and for fats, it's only 2-3%.
Hence, just eat foods dense in protein and you will sure lose weight.
Not according to the Negative Calorie eating plan which the focal point
here are about vegetables, fruit, and the "Negative Calorie" soup,
which you will be consuming a lot.
As a matter of fact, the deficiency of variety on this eating plan will
make it extremely hard for a lot of people to remain it for any
duration of time. Low fat protein is permitted on this diet, but not
till a little later on in the program.
Snacks consist of water, celery, and apples, lunch and dinner is and
breakfast is fruit like cantaloupe, honey dew melon, grapefruit,
orange, papaya, pineapple, strawberries, or watermelon.
Will the negative calorie diet help you lose fat?
Yes, this diet will surely lead to fat loss but a lot of this fat loss
will be comprised of water and muscle, and not body fat. As a matter of
fact, if you are going to try out with this diet, I extremely urge you
concentrate on tracking your body fat percentage, and not your body
weight for a truthful measure of success. Otherwise, you endanger the
lean muscle mass which has a positive effect on your overall metabolism.
The thing that makes this diet so unattractive is that the negative
calorie diet is the all over lack of scientific based proves to support
the claims boasted by the publication. The writer exhibits no
persuasive information that negative calorie foods are anything more
than a pet theory of his, and the same goes for some of the deep
breathing exercises also boasted to bring up metabolism.
Ultimately, this diet program helps you lose weight because of mere
caloric restriction, and the preponderance of high fiber, low energy
density foods eaten, not due to any super magic or negative calories.
Foods high in fiber and volume makes you feel full longer, and you eat
lesser. Make sure to eat loads on this diet program though because the
super low calorie consumption of this eating plan will leave you
starving!
