I've heard that celery has negative calories, so for several years I've been eating an occasional stalk or two just before bed to make up for my high calorie food choices during the day. I recently came across the idea that there are a whole host of foods that contain negative calories (burn more calories than they contain) and using them in combination can create a weight loss situation while you are still eating a lot of food. There are free lists of foods available online which consist of raw, unpeeled, fruits and vegetables. After reading them and thinking I would put some kind of recipe list and meal plant together but never doing it, I decided to purchase this ebook and take advantage of the author's 150 recipes and meal plans.
I love that the food choices are healthier than the snacks I normally grab. And I love that if I feel hungry (which is a natural part of losing weight) there is something I can eat guilt free. My will power is really low and I crave sugar, bread (even if it is whole grain), and if I can talk myself out of those 2, I'd take some potato chips, lol. I can lose weight to a certain level (where I am now) and the last 10 pounds are so stubborn! I flip between telling myself I don't look that bad and being disgusted with my inability to get control of myself.
I'll let you know how it goes, but for now you can check out the ebook on your own by clicking here: Negative Calorie Foods and Recipes Ebook.
I’ll have to check out this link. I understand the will-power battle completely. I think you summed up my own feelings on the subject as well (feeling okay vs. disguted). I do have to say, though, that I’m a bit torn between this post and the last one…!!!
Pam, Bwa ha ha ha. Yes the conflict between the peanut butter chocolate pie and all fresh fruits and veggies. That is why I struggle with my weight, lol. On a table with both, I’d probably take the pie, sigh.
On a positive note, I lost a pound yesterday by choosing from the negative calorie list when I had a munchie attack. It felt like I was eating all day. I was really mad at myself when I went to bed, but it worked out okay when I weighed in the morning.
wow! that looks like a giant peanut butter cup.. im going to close my eyes and eat that as im afraid of the calories and indulge.
