Weight management and negative calorie foods

negative cal

One of the major problems faced by people trying to lose or maintain weight is how not to starve and, at the same time, how not to consume too many calories.

While no food is calorie free, there are a number of foods that are very low in calories and they are called “negative calorie foods.”  In fact their calorie content is so low that, the body has to spend more calories in ingestion, digestion and elimination, the net calorie consumption is negative.

For this reason, much less of these calories can possibly turn into fat in negative calorie foods as fewer calories are actually available to the body, assuming we don’t add calories with dressing, frying oil etc. This gives these foods a tremendous natural fat-burning advantage. We all should incorporate such foods into our diet whether it is for weight loss or weight management purpose.

Most of negative calorie foods are plant based, water vegetables and water fruits, and they commonly contain a lot of water locked in fibrous matrix.

You may be familiar with some healthy negative-calorie foods, such as:
