What to eat to lose weight: a nutritionist talked about foods with negative calories

0

A nutritionist talked about products that have zero and negative calories. These are foods that require the same or more calories to digest than they contain.

These are greens, cucumbers, seaweed, celery, cabbage, asparagus, zucchini.

— For example, a slice of cucumber contains 10 kcal, and we spend 15 kcal on chewing and digestion — the result is a product with negative calories. This information is useful for those who intend to lose weight, because when losing weight, you don’t need to go on a starvation diet. It’s enough to include in your diet a large number of products that have zero calories, — the doctor noted.

The fact that products with negative calories burn fat is a myth. Greens, cucumbers, algae and other products speed up metabolism and improve digestion.

Of course, the method of preparation plays a big role, and if zucchini is rolled in flour and fried in a large amount of oil, it will cease to be a dietary product. As will a salad of cucumbers and greens, generously seasoned with mayonnaise.
