Weight Loss Diets with Negative Calorie Foods
Added: (Sun Feb 05 2006)
Weight loss by eating negative calorie foods is relatively a new concept.
Negative calorie foods are said to use more calories to digest than
the calorie content of the foods themselves, resulting in a negative
calorie balance. One example sis celery. It is therefore natural to consider a diet containing these foods for weight loss.
Most of the weight loss diets promote to eat a particular food group
and restrict other food groups. Such diets may show temporary
results. If you follow these restricted diets for a long time, you
may develop some health problems at later stage as these diets do not
contain all the necessary nutrients needed for your body.
A diet with negative calorie foods as main ingredients can include
foods (http://www.negativecaloriefoods.com/) that are loaded with
carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, minerals and dietary fibers necessary
for keeping you fit.
A healthy weight loss diet plan should include vegetables, fruits, grains,
lentils and beans in your diet. Following is a sample daily diet plan
that is good for keeping healthy weight and good health, irrespective
of whether you follow a diet plan with negative calorie foods or not.
- Skim milk and skim yogurt.
- Salads or boiled vegetables or vegetable soup as starter.
- Whole-wheat bread/tortila, whole grain cereal and rice.
- Whole grains like kidney beans, chick peas and lentils.
- Lightly cooked green vegetables.
- Any dessert with minimum sugar.
- Lean variety of meat (it is better to avoid).
- The dinner should be light. If you had bread for lunch then have
rice for dinner.
Include as much negative calorie foods as possible in the above diet
plan. If you are meat eater, choose from a lean variety and restrict
to one serving in a day.
The diet with negative calorie foods can be tailored for fast or gradual
weight loss. The fast weight loss diet that can lower the weight up
to two pounds per day, is not recommended for long term. The gradual
weight loss diet can reduce one pound in a week and can be followed
until desired weight is achieved.
One point should be noted. The negative calorie foods will not give you
much benefit if you are eating foods loaded with fats and sugars. You
should not think that you can reduce the calories gained from fats and
sugars by simply eating some negative calorie foods.
