Does anyone have a list of negative calorie foods? Also, does adding negative calorie foods to a diet help?

negative calorie foods ~ veggies\nasparagus, beets, broccoli, green cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, chicory,chili peppers, cucumber, endive, garlic, lettuce, onions, papayas, spinach, turnip, zucchini, celery root, celery chicory, dandelion (yes the flower/weed), garden cress, green beans, onions, radishes, beet root, lambs lettuce.\nfruits~\napples, cranberries, grapefruit, lemons, limes, mangos, oranges, pineapple, raspberries, strawberries, tangerines.\nThese do help you lose weight believe me its all i eat and i weigh 100 lbs. the one person who said it won't work to eat these foods is wrong i've seen the results on many girls and when you eat them if you didn't eat enough calories that it takes to digest them your body uses calories from your body fat stores and it burns fat!^_^ results are always awesome!

That sounds awesome! Don't push yourself too hard, though. If you have time, add some walking in there. I know this is hard, but cut back on calories, too. If you are having a tough time with that, than you can add cereals, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products to your diet and eventually, you may like these foods better than those higher in fat, calories, and un- natural ingredients. As long as you want to make a change, you can accomplish anything. Good luck to you!

I had many clients tell me that when I worked at a weight loss center. We highly recommended a multi-vitamin daily. Lots of people are not affected like this. I always explained it to you having more energy which actually can make you feel hungry. Fuel for the fire so to speak.

Ive found that watching what you eat and combining that with cardiovascular exercise helps to make your metabolism faster :) I went on a mega binge (for about 4 days) after watching what i ate and exercising for about 3 weeks and so far i havent put on any weight. Im putting it down to the fact that my metabolism has quickened helping me to burn the excess calories :)

I know what your going through! I am 14 years old, 5'5, and weigh 95 ibs. I hate it, but someone told me about going to Starbucks and getting this bar called a Soy Protein Bar, and it has 2,000 calories in just one bar! I haven't got a chance to go get one! Try that out, I'm trying it out too. If you find anything to make you gain weight, E-Mail me PLEASE! Thanks

Popcorn w/o butter (or with "Light" butter) is pretty good for you - especially with the fiber, which helps "balance things out" (plus you can eat the whole bag)\n\nSugar-free Jello too - I think theres like 30 calories in a whole box ~~ I live off it when Im on a diet.\n\nDiet soda -- of any kind -- 0 calories/fat !\n-- Try a diet root beer or orange soda float -- with sugar free/fat free frozen yogurt.\n\nGraham crackers are pretty yummy too, and not horriable for ya. Pretzels are okay too (try to get low/no salt/fat).\n\n__If you want actual healthy, try carrot sticks, salad, and fruit. :)

If you are looking to lose weight watch white foods. Seriously it works! White bread, white rice, sugar, pasta, milk, potato, and even cheese are all examples of foods that should be eaten in extreme moderation for a dieter. They are high in carbohydrates which are stored as fats in all but the real athletic bodies, heavy, and low in essential nutrients. So it is basically empty calories. Replace these white foods with a brown version. Like wheat bread, brown rice, wheat pasta, yams, and any other healthier options I didn'tt hink of. The brown version is full of whole grains, fiber (great for dieting!) and less calories. There is a ton more I could load you down with about dieting, but I though I would keep it simple for you. Feel free to e-mail me if you want more info.

I went to a homeophatic nutritionist who gave me a balanced diet with lots of fresh fruit, vegetables, lean meat, fish, nuts, etc. and very little carbs. I eat 6 times a day, 3 complete meals and 2 snacks. It takes patience and perseverance. You have to try out many recipies to change routine. It also helped that I went through a desintoxication process of a three day juice and soup fast. I have lost 20 pounds, and have another 20 to go, but feel great and with lots of energy. I paused a while with the diet and have not gained weight, that shows that I changed my habits and my eating lifestyle. Good luck!

"All foods have some calories. No food is actually "negative calorie" food. BUT the overall effect of certain foods in our body is that of "negative calories". Negative calorie foods are foods, which use more calories to digest than the calories the foods actually contain! \nCalories from these foods are much harder for the body to breakdown and process. 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.\n\nNegative Calorie Foods ~ Vegetables \nasparagus \nbeets \nbroccoli \ncabbage (green)\ncarrots\ncauliflower celery \nchicory \nchili peppers \ncucumbers\nendive\ngarlic lettuce \nonions \npapayas \nspinach\nturnip\nzucchini  \n\nNegative Calorie Foods ~ Fruit \napples\ncranberries\ngrapefruit\nlemons mangos\noranges\npineapple raspberries\nstrawberries\ntangerines

There is no such thing as a "negative calorie." A few foods, such as celery, take more energy to break them down than the amount of energy (in the form of calories) they provide, but nonetheless, they still have calories. You cannot live on that alone, it is unhealthy. Just try to eat a healthy, balanced diet, and avoid junk foods. Also, try to exercise at least 30 minutes a day, 3-4 times a week, and get at least 7 hours of sleep every night.

Cut all processed food and watch the weight fly off! In other words, shop only on the outer rim of the Supermarket :). Eat veggies, fruit, unprocessed meat, low fat dairy. Stay AWAY from white sugar, white flour, corn syrup. If you can't hunt it or gather it, don't eat it! I lost 30 lbs eating this way. You would be amazed how much better you feel once you cut out sugar and white flour! You will have much more energy. Substitute your sugar intake with Stevia (300X sweeter than sugar) and no calories or carbs! It is natural and does not raise the glycemic index. Good LUCK!!

YES!  You probably don't want to hear this but weight watchers.  My best friend was morbidly obese and lost 87 lbs.  Now she is at a healthy weight and has kept it off for 3 years.  I gained a lot of weight a couple of years ago and lost 27 lbs and have kept it off.  It isn't difficult-it teaches you how to eat responsibly...and you aren't constantly "dieting".  You can go out to eat and have a beer or whatever, but you have to be good the rest of that day.  It all balances out.  You use a point system (and you can get a points calculator and information online or I'd be glad to help too).  Anyway, I have tried the cabbage soup diet, atkins diet, low fat diet, vegetarian diet, starvation diet...and the weight loss was quick but only a few pounds and it always came back.  If you want a diet that works and keeps the weight off, you need to follow weight watchers.  The normal weight loss is 2 lbs a week, sometimes more, especially in the first week.  It feels so good to be healthy and energetic!  The only downside is that you may want to attend meetings and they are approx $10/wk.  I did it for free strictly by reading online message boards and googling "weight watchers information".  guess it helped that my friend went through it before me.  Some people need the meetings as motivation and to keep on track.  I wish I could show before and after pictures of my friend!  They are awesome!

Try celery. You burn more calaries chewing it than the actual calories in it!
