What Are Negative Calories?

 

The thought behind negative calories is that certain foods could take more energy to digest than they provide in the body. Without exaggeration this idea took the diet industry by storm. The approach that you could eat from a list of "magic foods" and NOT put on weight but actually counterbalance some of the calories you gain from other foods certainly has tremendous appeal.

 

The bad news is that all foods contain calories; some more than others. Your body is one of the most efficient engines known to man. So efficient, in fact. that in some respects it works against you. The calories you ingest in even the lightest foods create much more energy than is required to digest them.

Scientists Have Discovered One Negative Calorie Food

To really use more energy than a food provides, you have to eat cardboard. Cardboard is the only edible substance known to the civilised world which is 100% cellulose. We humans lack the enzymes to break it down. Cows have a digestive system which would allow them to easily live on cardboard without any problems.

In the human body, the process of moving the cardboard through your digestive system would require a small but measurable amount of energy. The energy expended in digesting the cardboard would create a true negative calorie food.

Even though cardboard is the only truly negative calorie food so far discovered, I naturally find it difficult to recommend a cardboard diet.

What Negative Calorie Foods Are Not

You cannot neutralize calories in food you have already eaten. For instance you cannot eat a piece of cake and then eat 7 celery stalks to create a calorie balance. Sorry it doesn't work like that.

Quick Ways to Lose Weight

I learned that calories are really important because if we take calories in and don't burn them off we put on weight. Therefore it is important to know the calorie content of each thing we eat.

BUT, I soon found out that this knowledge is NOT the secret of losing weight!

To lose weight and keep it off you need, a program to control how many calories you take in every day and a way to burn off more calories than you take in.

In essence you need to eat the right foods to keep you healthy and take the right exercise to burn off the calories.

BUT, even that knowledge is not enough. The real secret is to develop the strength of character and willpower to fight off temptation and stick to your regime.

If you have tried and failed in the past it will have been because, like thousands of others, you simply "found it too difficult and gave up".

Dieting to lose weight is very hard. To succeed you need to really know yourself and how to control the cravings and other emotions that will certainly assail you.

Now there is a new and better way. We have put together a 3-part program to help you lose weight.
In the first part, The Magic Hats, we teach you how to gain self-control and how to hypnotize yourself.

In part 2 we show you to work out your ideal body weight, and how to calculate how much weight you need to lose, and how to set an "Ideal Weight" target. Then we'll show you how to work out how many calories you need every day.
