Unusual diet plan

My boyfriend claims that as long as you steer away from all processed
foods and animal products you can virtually eat all you want because
all other foods have so-called "negative calories". Sounds dubious to
me.

It's totally true.

Your boyfriend's science is wrong, but the result is probably right.

The business about "negative calories" is not true. However, if you avoid
ALL processed food and animal products you probably WILL lose weight because
almost all the really high-calorie, high-fat stuff that makes you gain
weight are processed foods and animal products!

Depending on how literally you take "processed", I'm not sure this
leaves you with much to eat -- mostly just produce or homemade grain
products, I'd think. Might be hard to get a balanced diet.

And Doug is right about negative calories; there's no such thing. It
would probably be possible to eat too many calories even of
unprocessed, non-dairy foods, but I'd expect it would be unlikely.

I don't really believe in this negative calorie business. If you
burn 2000 calories a day and eat 2500 calories a day of "unprocessed"
foods then yes, you will gain weight.

There is a also the problem stated by others as to what "unprocessed"
means. Cooking is a process. Honey is processed by bees. I think that
even slaughtering an animal, even if you eat it raw, is a process. The
term is so broad as to be meaningless.

The original post was made by our "150 bananas per day" John/Aplin17/etc.

Don't forget he/she drinks gasoline too. Must be to wash down the
bananas.

have you ever wondered if losing weight maybe a simple thing. Probably
you should check out this website www.sabbaticaldiet.com. I tried it
and it works and its simple.
