Where can I download a list of "Negative Calorie Foods" ?
On 10/12/2003 1:38 PM, Melissa wrote: The reason the list seems limited, is that there are truly very few, if any, "negative calorie" foods. I see apples on that list, but honestly, do you think you use 100 calories to eat one apple? Celery could be one of the foods you are looking for, but you won't last long eating celery and lettuce. You need real food, protein, fat, some carbs in order to be healthy and feel good. You're a human, not a rabbit. Maybe water -- if you have to walk to get it that would be negative calories, right? :-) Stop looking for miracle foods and learn to eat proper portions, and get moving. Spend a couple of days HONESTLY recording everything you eat. Then figure the calories you're taking in. You'll see where the changes need to be, if you are honest with yourself. Seriously, Melissa is correct. Portion control. Food logs (I use my Palm but others here use spreadsheets or fitday.com). |

Years ago, in the late 1970s, a neighbor of ours went on a carrot diet. I don't know if it was the current fad or what. Anyway, she apparently followed the diet very well. Too well. She turned orange. She went to her doctor about it. He said don't eat so many carrots! :-) I'm not sure if she lost weight doing this or not. |

Worst "Food" Imaginable
Let's pull this into a separate thread. I'm fascinated by the concepts of
the stuff people will actually put in their mouths. (Fascinated in the same way as when I watch operations on TV or can't look away from a car wreck.) Can anyone top Melissa's contribution, below? Melissa wrote: "Wendy" wrote: Crafting Mom wrote: Negative Calorie Foods Croissants, french fries potato chips deep fried twinkies cornbread mashed potatoes doughnuts .... there are more, but there are other foods of which I can't think of the positives about ;-) I'll add three of the more horrific ones I've encountered: chili cheese fries (it makes my mouth slimy to THINK about those) sausage biscuit gravy (I always decline when my Mom makes it on the grounds that SOMEONE needs to be able to do the CPR) deep crust meat-lover's pizza from Pizza Hut But now tell the truth: do deep-fried twinkies really exist? Or is that just a dietary boogie-man? Yep, they exist. They are the new Fair Food in our area, but I have heard that they have had them in the South for years. You can even buy a "machine" to make them. I saw it at Wal-Mart. Blech...twinkies are horrible to begin with. To batter and then deep fry them sounds perfectly awful. Melissa |

Worst "Food" Imaginable
I'll add three of the more horrific ones I've encountered:
Canned meat - Spam, Clik, and any derivative thereof. chili cheese fries (it makes my mouth slimy to THINK about those) Then you wouldn't like poutine - french fries, drenched in gravy with cheese curds melting on the top. Apparently, a popular choice of the French. A artery stopper for the restr of us. Cheers!

Oh, I've had those up at the in-laws. That was considered "meat" at one of their meals. |

Like I said, I've read all kinds of research on the subject of negative calorie foods, and the fact remains, they are not a myth. For every Harvard graduate who says so, you can find 10 other Yale graduates who disagree. It's the same as saying eggs are healthy / eggs are unhealthy. Research can prove anything. However, the concept here is very simple: It takes your body more calories to digest some food items than that food item provides. Are you suggesting that this isn't a possibility? I'm a little bit confused on your opinion of negative calorie foods. It was disproven years ago. It's only the first couple of bites of some of these foods that are "negative calorie" -- it takes more calories to get digestion started. Once the digestive processes are started, none of them take more calories to digest than they contain. -- jamie ) "There's a seeker born every minute." |

snip Zucchini are packed with calories. You can eat them and become quite fat! i Not quite true. According to the USDA National Nutrient Database, one cup, raw, sliced (113g) has 18 calories. One cup slices boiled (who would do that to a poor zucchini?) is 28 calories. I'd have to try pretty hard to get fat on them. Can you tell it's one of my favorite veggies? :-) -- Walking on . . .

However, the concept here is very simple: It takes your body more calories to digest some food items than that food item provides. Are you suggesting that this isn't a possibility? You are CLOSE to getting it. Step back a bit from the label "negative calorie" and let's talk about what foods will make it easier to lose fat if you eat them. The answer contains the same foods you're talking about, but not for the "negative calorie" reason, but because they tend to be high in fiber and high in nutrients and not calorie dense and if you eat them you're probably displacing other foods that are MORE calorie dense and perhaps lacking in nutrients and fiber so they are less satieting. I'm a little bit confused on your opinion of negative calorie foods. You've got a theory in your mind and you desperately want to believe it. My advice is to learn quite a lot more about how the human body works and then you'll be able to make informed choices based on knowledge rather than blind faith in gurus. Wendy Are you crazy? LOL Negative calorie foods are a reality. True, I don't think an apple could be negative calorie either, but is it so unbelievable that some foods take more energy to burn than they provide? If I ate my cotton shirt right now, do you think my body would digest it using fewer calories than it gets from the shirt itself? You gotta be kidding me. |
