Negative calorie concept
Foods that are consumed raw or cooked while preserving their beneficial properties, vitamins and minerals, when they enter the stomach, force them to spend more calories on their digestion than they contain themselves.
Negative calories do not contribute to weight gain, speed up metabolism, stabilize the functions of the digestive tract, and improve overall well-being.
Their beneficial nutritional properties are that they do not provide extra calories and contain a lot of water and fiber, which fill the stomach and dull the feeling of hunger.
The main misconceptions of those who want to lose weight
1. Food with negative energy can be combined with fatty dishes , since it is able to bind and block fat, preventing it from being absorbed, but simply being removed from the body along with waste products.
Vegetables, berries and fruits cannot prevent the entry of cholesterol and fats into the body. Junk food is difficult to digest. The secreted fat, which exceeds the body's needs, accumulates in the form of extra pounds deposited on the buttocks, waist, and hips.
Excess cholesterol that appears due to uncontrolled eating of fats is especially dangerous. Fried, oily foods are one of the causes of cholesterol plaques on the heart and blood vessels.
2. Negative calories burn fat. There is no need to waste time on diets and sports activities. To bring yourself back to normal, you just need to eat exclusively vegetables and fruits for a few weeks.
Low-calorie foods promote quick satiety, improve digestion and metabolism, but cannot destroy previously accumulated kilograms. Correctly selected physical training, a balanced diet, and massage will help you cope with excess weight. In severe cases, medications may be prescribed to normalize weight.
3. By eating only fruit and vegetable foods, you can eliminate extra pounds , remove fat folds, restore and maintain health.
This hypothesis is denied by nutritionists. In addition to liquid, natural microcellulose, antioxidants and enzymes of natural origin, the body vitally needs cellular polymers, organic compounds of animal nature, polyunsaturated acids contained in meat and fish products.
Refusal of carbohydrate-protein foods will undoubtedly help eliminate extra pounds, but will create a deficiency of nutrients and energy required for the normal functioning of cells. As a result of such nutrition, the body will be harmed.
This diet negatively affects not only absolutely healthy people, but is also simply dangerous for people with dysfunction of the pancreas, liver, and gastrointestinal tract. Vegetarianism is strictly contraindicated for children . The lack of organic nutrition can provoke a delay in the growth and development of a child, become the basis for the appearance of pathologies of internal organs and systems, and disrupt metabolism.

Persons prone to increased psychological excitability, migraines. Women during pregnancy should completely abandon them, replacing them with green tea, herbal infusions, and mineralized water.
Complex carbohydrates and their composition
For proper functioning of the body, carbohydrates are necessary. When the nutrient is consumed in sufficient quantities, a person’s physical and mental performance improves.
The reason to reduce the amount of macronutrients is to maintain a low-carbohydrate diet; otherwise, it is not recommended to reduce the levels below 100 g. It is enough to adjust the diet in the ratio of fast (simple) and slow (complex) carbohydrates.
Complex carbohydrates should make up the bulk of your daily diet. The table shows foods containing complex carbohydrates.
Foods rich in simple carbohydrates lead to obesity. It is necessary to completely remove the nutrient from a menu designed for weight loss. We are talking about sugar, sweets and flour products.

Low-calorie foods: table by group
The list below contains the main low-calorie foods, indicating calories and composition by proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. A separate column shows the glycemic index (GI), which characterizes how quickly insulin rises in the blood after eating a given type of food.
Vegetables
The largest group of low-calorie foods. They fit into most diets, and even strict low-carb phases include leafy greens and other low-GI vegetables.
How to cook vegetables correctly? We advise you to eat vegetables raw in order to provide your body with nutrients without loss.
When heat treating, give preference to short steaming (5-10 minutes, for example, in a slow cooker) or baking in foil. It is much worse to cook vegetables (some vitamins are not destroyed by heating, but almost completely disappear into the water). It is absolutely bad to fry for a long time (excess heated oil adds calories and greatly reduces the quality of the meal if an oil with a low smoke point is chosen.).
The intermediate option - frying quickly - can be made more healthy by using a VOK type frying pan and briefly cooking for up to 3-4 minutes with constant stirring in the style of Asian cuisine.

Let us add on our own: if you are relatively healthy, pay attention to raw vegetables. All types of cabbage, carrots, beets, leafy greens and garlic and onions. Heroes do not attract exotic, but are useful for many aspects of health.
Fruits and berries
The danger with fruits is the sugars (glucose and fructose). Therefore, it is important to pay attention not only to the number of kilocalories, but also to the amount of carbohydrates and the glycemic index.
How healthy is it to eat fruit? Raw, alone or in salads. For problems with the digestive system - before meals (!) or as a separate meal in combination with a fermented milk drink.
Don't rely on juices hoping for the magic word "freshly squeezed." They often contain fewer vitamins and minerals and always have much less fiber, which reduces the satiating potential of the meal and increases the GI.

Interesting!
The fattest fruit, avocado, is very useful for weight loss and overall health. It is allowed to be eaten on low-carb diets and is recommended to be included in the menu of all overweight people. Details about avocados are in the detailed review.
It is worth knowing important details about low-calorie smoothies.
They are so praised for weight loss on the Internet. But the composition of foods is not all that is important to consider on a diet. Pay attention to our recommendations in the memo below. Save and share useful information with friends!
Cereals, grains and legumes
This food group is rich in carbohydrates. Some types are rich in vegetable protein. In their raw form, all foods are very high in calories.
We count in boiled form! To include them in a low-calorie diet, you need to focus on the energy value in boiled form, when the cereal or beans are saturated with water.
We always look at the glycemic index: with a protein diet, most cereals and grains are prohibited or strictly limited.

Healthy exotics!
A lot of protein, all the amino acids and low calorie content of cooked quinoa are important reasons to get acquainted with this beneficial weight loss aid.
Dairy
Among milks, there are many options that are low in calories. Protein and calcium are beneficial for fat loss, so including milk in your diet is a smart choice. Use pure products without additives. Say “No!” - sugar, fruit pieces, emulsifiers and flavor enhancers.
Among the drinks, kefir and yogurt, prepared at home from a starter culture with live bacteria, are especially good. All you need is a starter from the supermarket, 10 minutes of preparation time and 6 hours to ripen the product in a warm place (yogurt maker or wrapping).
Another caveat concerns the composition. Completely low-fat foods make it more difficult to absorb important nutrients, including. calcium, which helps burn fat. Without harm to health, it is better to choose at least the minimum fat content - 1-2.5%.
The composition is especially important for protein diets, diabetics and people with hyperinsulinism (all sweet tooths are 100% included in this group).

Fish and seafood
The first key point when choosing a fish type should be size. The larger the fish, the more harmful mercury it can accumulate.
Secondly, remember, calorie content depends on serving size! You should not completely exclude fatty varieties of sea beauties, for example, red fish. Omega-3 fatty acids are important to us - essential factors for beautiful skin and active longevity. Don’t be afraid to replace a mountain of low-calorie shrimp with a smaller portion of fattier but healthier pink salmon and salmon.
The best way to process fish is steaming.

Rules for preparing negative calorie foods
The list of foods with negative calorie content given in the tables requires compliance with certain cooking rules for good digestibility of dishes:
- Low-energy foods should be minimally cooked. The ideal option to help preserve microelements, antioxidants, natural digestive enzymes, and natural microcellulose is stewing and using a double boiler. You can bake food on parchment paper without adding fat, boil it, grill it, or microwave it.
- When making salads, it is best to refrain from vegetable oil. Lemon juice or wine vinegar is best as a dressing. Various binding fatty substances prevent negative calories from fully exerting their beneficial effects, promote faster digestion, and add energy value. The same rules apply to sour cream and mayonnaise.
- Fruit desserts are combined with natural yogurt, which does not contain sugar, food additives, or dyes. A wonderful sweet dish is jelly made from berries and fruits. Whipped cream and sugar as an addition are strictly contraindicated due to their high calorie content.
