I've seen A LOT of recent articles touting the amazing benefits of these foods....so let's take a quick look below and see if they REALLY have any hope of helping YOU meet your weight loss goals right now. Read on..:-)

Filed Under: Negative Calorie Foods

The dieting lore and literature is full of the fantastical negative calorie foods. But like much else in life, you simply have to read the fine print to figure out whether or not this is actually worth pursuing as a weight loss plan. Celery, for example, is a VERY healthy and simple vegetable that is SO low in calories that it actually EXPENDS more energy to digest it, than the caloric value intrinsic to the food. But put some dressing on that celery and your negative calorie just did a somersault into fortuitous fat land..:-) And you CAN'T eat celery all day for long...you'll get sick and be FAR worse off than just overweight.

Mushrooms have zero calories, and I LOVE mushrooms..but put them on a pizza, and you've got a tasty, but fattening negative calorie food again! There ARE foods that facilitate faster weight loss - FIBER full foods for example, expedite the process of cleansing the body, and are thought to be "fat burning" in that respect. Tomatoes and fruits like berries are FULL of antioxidants, and can also help the body rid itself of harmful toxins to a limited degree...but again, you can't make a diet out of ONLY berries and tomatoes.

The key is picking a TRUE weight loss program that incorporates the very BEST qualities of weight loss magic with GOOD and solid commons sense. this is what I recommend to ALL of my readers, family and friends alike...and of course, as many of you know, is what I have followed PERSONALLY to look and feel so good. (if I don't mind saying so myself..:-)
