Negative Calorie Foods Diet Tree

By Stan Towers

If you've done much research on diets at all, then you've probably already run across the concept of negative calorie foods. The negative calorie food diet is one that has come under a lot of scrutiny, but despite this it's an idea that has created a lot of imitators based around the same basic principles. For a much criticized diet, it sure has a lot of imitators!

This imitation means that there are a great deal of diets based at least in part around foods that are part of the negative calorie foods list. Some of these related fad diets include the grapefruit diet, pineapple diet, and cabbage soup diet. Aside from these popular fad diets, it's also obvious that vegetarian diets will also have a lot in common with this weight loss plan since all the foods on this list are either fruits or vegetables.

The pineapple diet has several different forms, but all revolve around eating a lot of pineapple. Pineapple is found on the negative calorie foods list, and is often mentioned as a healthy food that has enzymes that are hard for the body to break down, encouraging weight loss.

The cabbage soup diet is perhaps the most popular example of a diet that has many of the same foods, roots, and tenants as the negative calorie foods diet. While this eating plan varies in a great many ways, and also takes into account calorie cycling and nutrient cycling, the base cabbage soup that's eaten every day is composed almost completely of vegetables found on the negative calorie list. There are also days on this diet that only allow fruits, vegetables, or both, in addition to the soup - making this a close working model of how negative calories can be built into a diet.

And the grapefruit diet is yet another example of an eating plan that could have been designed simply by picking out a person's favorite negative calorie food and just running with it. Grapefruit has enormous popularity as a diet food because it is high in water, fiber, and vitamins and low in calories. In addition to all this, grapefruit is notoriously hard for the body to break down and process, forcing your body to work and burn more calories to process it.

Vegetarian diets are going to have large portions that mirror foods found on the negative calorie list because all negative calorie foods are going to be fruits and veggies. The huge difference between the two is that a vegetarian eating plan will be complete and include grains and rice, while the list is there to supplement an eating plan, not be the end all be all of dietary restrictions.

Even beyond the ones mentioned in this article, there are many other diets out there which are based in some form or another on these foods. While not many of these diets are likely to admit to the truth, the evidence is obvious.

All arguments aside, you're not likely to ever find someone who says eating more fruit and vegetables is a bad nutritional choice. Negative calorie foods are all about the fruits and veggies, so no matter what type of arguments remain this diet is likely to stay around. - 17274
