If you’re like me, you probably want to get right to it. Okay, here it is… all the Negative Calorie foods you’ll be using in your diet. I give you this list now so that you can start seeing what foods you are hoping will be on it. Here’s the list.

Green beans Lettuce
String beans Mushrooms
Beets Mustard greens

Not a bad list so far, eh? No, this isn’t all of it. But look the vegetable list over. Look for foods that you are already eating and breathe a sigh of relief. I mean, if you already like something in particular, isn’t that half the battle? One of your chores after reading will be to find every one of these vegetables at your supermarket.
Don’t despair. What you don’t find at one grocery store, you may find at another. Don’t discount health food stores either. The prices may be slightly higher, but you’re probably getting a better quality product, not to mention the fact that the produce at a health food store was more than likely grown without chemicals.
I’m very lucky. I live in a very agricultural part of the country where fruit and vegetable stands are all over the place. We’ve got farmer’s markets as well. So open up to the fact that you may have to shop around.
Fruits
Apples Limes
Apricots Loganberries
Blackberries Mangoes
Blueberries Muskmelons
Cantaloupe Nectarines
Cherries Oranges
Cranberries Papaya
Currants Peaches
Damson plum Pears
Figs Pineapple
Fruit salad (fresh/canned) Pomegranates
Grapefruit Prunes
Grapes Quince
Honeydew melon Raspberries
Huckleberries Strawberries
Kiwi Tangerines
Kumquats Watermelon
Lemons
Feeling a little better now? Yes, your sweet tooth will make it through this diet. Take a really good look at this list. You’re remembering what each fruit tastes like aren’t you? My experience has shown me that most people stick with just a few of their favorite fruit. I’m asking you to break that habit. Live a little! Broaden your horizon! Would you believe that I was 39 years old before I ever tried a Kiwi? That’s what I’m talking about. Try everything at least once! You may just find a new friend. It’s very good practice to try different things anyway. Get out of the rut! You’ll like yourself more!
No, I’m not going to turn you into a rabbit. There’s still more to the list. I’m warning you though; it’s a short one.
Meat
Abalone
Bass (fresh water/sea)
Buffalo fish
Catfish
Clams (cooked)
Cod Steaks
Crab
Crayfish
Flounder
Frog legs
Mussels
Oysters (half shell)
Shrimp
Terrapin
Trout
Tuna
That’s the list! Really spend some time with it. Read each food item and visualize it. That’s right. See each item in your mind’s eye. Imagine the taste, the smell. Why do this? Self-Programming. You don’t want this to be just another diet failure do you?
More about programming later. We still need to “tweak” this list a little. We’ve got all these great foods now – so how do we eat them?
Do we cook them? Do we eat them raw? Both! That’s what’s so great about this diet. For instance, I would much rather eat cauliflower raw than cooked. What about you? Use your own good judgement.
One suggestion about eating these foods cooked or raw. If there’s a particular food or group of foods on the list that you don’t really like raw, try cooking it and vice versa. Sometimes cooking will make a food more palatable.
Now you know what the foods are. How do they work? First, the foods on the list are obviously low in calories, right? Here’s how they work. Take an apple for instance. The average apple contains anywhere from 70 to 80 calories. Needless to say, thinking about an apple won’t burn off any calories, but getting up and out of your chair, walking to your kitchen, finding the apple, picking it up and eating it burns off calories. Not lots mind you, but a few. Probably right around 5. Cool, your 80-calorie apple is now down to 75 calories and you haven’t even put it in your mouth!
Now you’ve got to eat your apple. Let’s say it takes you 10 minutes to finish. That’s another 10 calories burned off! You’re smoking! You’ve broken that 80-calorie apple down to 65 calories! The rest of the process is easy. You take care of that, internally.
The actual digestive process your body will go through to take care of that apple requires energy from your body to make it happen. You’ve got to chew it. Digestive muscles and organs utilize heat and energy to get the job done. The energy your body uses for this process burns off even more calories. For the apple, another 75 calories to digest it, bringing the calories for that apple down to an astonishing – 10! A negative calorie effect, yet you’ve satisfied your hunger!
That, in essence, is the magic of the Negative Calorie food. Will every food produce a total negative calorie effect? No, but that’s okay, while consuming very few calories.
