Well whenever something works for me and I am psyched about it, I want to share
I have been really trying to work on my diet lately, and since I had to suspend my gym membership this month (due to financial issues, boo) I really wanted to cut my calories and take the opportunity to get myself into better eating habits
I have always struggled with dieting, but have come to the realization that I have to change my eating if I want to reach my goals. I have always been the "eat what you want, work out more!" person.....which doesn't work.
I am truly amazed the changes my body has gone through in the past 4 weeks from integrating these foods into my diet. I have lost about 2 pounds a week, my shape has changed, I feel better.....and even without exercise.
Ok, here's the list:
Negative Calorie Foods ~ Vegetables
asparagus
beets
broccoli
cabbage (green)
carrots
cauliflowercelery
chicory
chili peppers
cucumbers
endive
garliclettuce
onions
papayas
spinach
turnip
zucchini Negative Calorie Foods ~ Fruit
apples
cranberries
grapefruit
lemonsmangos
oranges
pineappleraspberries
strawberries
tangerines
"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!
Calories 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"
I know some of these might repulse some of you.....BUT pick the ones you like and try to replace as many meals as you can stand with them. Of course eat lean protein as well ( eggs, boneless chicken breast, fish, lean steak like london broil) I usually eat one meal with the protein in it a day then go veg for the rest. I have also cut out all soda and juice, and aim for a gallon of water a day.
THEN the best part is having one "off day" a week where I go crazy and eat what I want. It's really motivating and is like a reward for doing so good all week.....and gorging on junk is twice as enjoyable!![]()
