Do negative calorie foods really exist? In reality no, there is no such thing as a food that contains negative calories; every food has some caloric value, even cardboard. But the theory and science behind the negative calorie food idea does make sense if you look at how it is supposed to work.
The diet is based on scientific research into the idea that negative calorie foods safely force your body to work harder during digestion thus turning your body into a fat burning machine. It is believed that certain foods, particularly fruits and vegetables, are more difficult to digest because of their cellular composition. Difficult to digest is not a bad thing, it actually means that it takes the body more energy to digest and extract the vital nutrients that are found in healthy foods.
If you eat a negative calorie food that has a caloric content of 100 calories, you will actually burn more calories than you ingest. 150-250 calories is the average caloric need when digesting any food. So you can see that if you eat something that is high in calories but low in nutrients any extra calories left over from the digestive process is moved to fat storage, as opposed to burning extra calories.
A negative calorie diet is probably one of the most effective ways to increase metabolism and burn calories. Starvation diets are not, on the other hand, as starvation or skipping meals will only slow down the metabolism in the body, which holds on to its stored fat in times of food deprivation, but will not result in weight loss in the long run.
It comes down to the fact that eating a healthy diet consisting of nutrient rich foods has always been the best way to keep the human body running at peak efficiency. Negative calorie food offers great nutrition, as well as the possibility of helping you lose weight simply by eating.
