Are Negative Calorie Foods a hoax, or a reality?
Here is a possible list of negative calorie foods:
tangerines asparagus beets broccoli cabbage lemons carrots cauliflower celery chile peppers cucumbers garlic green beans lettuce onion cranberries papaya radishes spinach turnips zucchini apple grapefruit mango orange pineapple raspberries strawberries peaches tomatoes grapefruit blueberries limes
Natural Thermogenesis – certain foods you eat elicit a thermogenic effect, thus causing your body to burn more fat than one would expect from a caloric deficit alone. I believe this is as close as it gets to "negative" calorie foods. These foods actually can create a thermogenic response, meaning it may in fact take calories to digest them, thus causing more of a loss than by a calorie deficit alone. By the way, your list is pretty good. Don't know if pineapple and mango would be on the list, very high glycemic. Anyway, here are a good bit of them, and ones I always rely on on comp diets. For example, my competition is tomorrow, and I have been eating strawberries up until last week. Concentrate on including these foods in your nutrition plan. a) Fruit with an excellent Thermogenic/Carbohydrate?Create Ratio include: Apples, Blueberries, Grapefruit, Peaches, Strawberries vs. Inferior Thermogenic Effect Fruits: Bananas, Dried Fruit, Raisins, etc., Watermelon b) Thermogenic Vegetables: Asparagus, Broccoli, Cabbage, Celery, Lettuce, Mushrooms, Onions, Radishes, Spinach, Tomatoes c) Almost all proteins have a desirable thermogenic effect EXCEPT: proteins that are very high in fat, processed lunch meats, and processed proteins including most single species protein powders – whey concentrate, whey isolate, etc.
Your single species proteins such as pure whey are great at post workout time. You want a quick absorbing protein. Other than that time, they are too quickly absorbed to help with fat burning(create a thermogenic effect). if this is what you use all the time, blend some cottage cheese with your later shakes, (acutally good, will not taste it..if you are using vanilla, then add some sugar free jello mix of your choice, nice and tasty), or/and you can buy at most grocery stores pure liquid eggwhites(they will be right next to the eggbeaters and stuff), they are ultra pastureized so can be added directly to your shakes with no problem. 3 tbsp. equal 5 grams of protein, 25 calories. I usually add 6-12 for an optimal shake to my pure whey, with a half cup cottage cheese. Potent, and good. Add the sugar free jello, and pretty tasty. Voia', multi species.
When you use pure whey as your only protein supplement, other than post workout, you really should do a couple things. One is have a tbsp. of flax oil or some type fats, and two, add some fiber. Both of these two things slow digestion dramatically. I find that flax meal is a great choice for fiber, with unmatched nutrtional profile. This is great before bed also.
