Eat yourself slim: the foods that contain negative calories

Food & Beverage

Eat and lose weight? Falstaff reveals foods that burn more calories than they contain.

Negative calories come from foods that are so low in calories that the body burns more during digestion than it absorbs. The crucial factor here is the fibre content, because fibre really gets the digestion going which in turn makes the calories melt away.

Negative calorie balance

By chewing well and boosting digestion, calories are burned. All negative calorie foods are high in fibre, high in water and low in energy density. This makes you feel full without gaining weight.
