Weight Loss By Adding Foods

Negative Calories Equals Weight Loss Diet?

Lost 11 lbs in one week by beefing up on some of these basic ideas. First, don’t be too carried away with the term “negative calories” but do try its plants base ideas for dieting in-between, or before meals. (All the vegetables are free, don't count calories. (Lots of these meals every 3 hours, never too hungry and eat organically grown fibrous grains with good oils) Remember, Health starts with the next meal, no need of extra herbs, vitamins if you eat correctly, although they are foods too. So use them fresh at every meal for natural flavorings. Idea is not to starve the body, or in other words make the body feel like it's starving. Adding 2 TBS of pine nuts after 5 or late night snack will stop hunger.

"Add Negative Calories that are plants based foods to burn up more calories in the process of digesting them than are actually contained in the foods themselves. The idea is certain foods take more energy to digest them than they actually provide if very popular. Foods such as asparagus, beet, broccoli green cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, celery root, celery, hot chili peppers, cucumber, dandelion, endive, garden cress, garlic green beans, zucchini, apple, cranberries, grape fruit, lemon mango, orange, pineapple, raspberries, strawberries, tangerine, lamb’s lettuce, lettuces, onion, papaya, radishes, spinach, turnip, bananas, i.e." yatta, yatta, yatta.

Example: Low nutrient, high cellulose foods like celery consume very slightly more energy to digest than they provide. (Need-less-to-say: Stay away from additives that increase hunger like aspartame, and corn syrup products.)
Vegetables

Ideas's such as fennel, aubergine, gourd, broccoli, leek, cabbage, lettuce, carrots, marrows, cauliflower, peppers, celery, radish, chicory, spinach, cress, tomato, cucumber, turnip.
Fruits

Apricot, mandarin orange, blackberry, melon cantaloupe, blackcurrant, peaches, clementines, plums, damsons, raspberry, grapefruit. Rhubarb, guava, strawberry, honeydew melon, melons, tangerine, lemon, watermelon. This includes most fruits and vegetables (non-starch types.) This will even including herbal teas (green tea) with no cream or sugar of course.
No fads balancing it all  is the only answer

Neg. Cal. “No Such Thing”? OK call it "eat more calories free until fully satisfied!"

Anyone knows if you would, just lots eat vegetables i.e. until full, with no meat, and dairy, you would lose weight. It’s called a plant base diet...(mild foods) or try adding in a small amount of complex carbs (organic whole grains, beans) if you get too hungry. Both produce serotonin (appetite surpressent-depression) and some organic whole grain bread...”staff of life”...yatta, yatta, yatta.
I use what I've termed as "MY scrap plastic freezer bag" of cleaned peelings, odds and end i.e. of monthly veggies. (Add fresh seasonings such as celery (for natural sodium), carrots for natural Bata carotene, and parsley, onion, and garlic i.e. from your garden, with some salt, pepper to your taste.) Brown them in a cast iron skillet on med low with some olive oil until some get crispy and a bit brown. (or in oven) Add about 4 cups of water and simmer for 2 to 3 hours. Strain and throw away the all produce.
Add v8 juice i.e. or leave plain. Drink this before or in between meals. I also use this recipe on “semi-fast Sundays once a month for at least two meals that have no dairy, meat.
Heat cannot destroy minerals (matter), this is better than any vitamin or mineral on the market. Soups are an excellent way to eat a lot and easily loose weight, especially before a dinner meal. 

(At least once a week) I keep a bowl in fridge and/or cup it, when cooled down, in plastic bags then lay it flat in freezer, take out frozen and microwave a bowl. So you only need to make it once or twice a week. If you keep doing it you'll develop a variety to choose from.


Remember the cows are plump. Too much of the wrong kind of grain, (not enough grass fed), hormones, chemicals, and anti biotic, i.e. make them beefier passing it all into your body. If you give cows their own meat protein in their feed they get mad cow disease. That should tell us something. Some animals are just not meant to eat meat! Cows, horses, goats, lamb i.e. Their fed are full of anti biotic and chemicals, as well as, giving them shots to fatten them  up when ready to slaughter.
 The “holistic” view to health is to treat the whole body. How are you programming your body for its future functions at its maxim? Don’t get too far off, but don’t believe and do everything you hear or you will have nothing, but confusion.

Other negative calories are exercise and water.


Starchy vegetables are not considered here so to stick to my subject. It’s the choicest of vegetables loaded with fiber. You do need to consider I do not use aspartame, MSG or corn syrup products because they make you gain weight. Do enjoy a variety of salads, don’t stress out, and eat until fully satisfied and comfortably full. Use negative calorie foods with, before, and in between meals or before bed. Drop back and let us all know of your success.


POSTNOTES: 1. My ballerina youngest daughter told me of a book I purchased since writing the above on Neg. Calories. It's called Volumetrics Weight-Control Plan by Babara Rolls and Barnett. It's basically the same idea, although I don't agree with its "special languages" and any book totally. I don't believe in any authors specials BIBLES we have to figure out how our personally needs in weight lose. The truths are always SIMPLE.

*The other picture example (A) was two deli sandwiches one 625 calories just bread and meat basically. (B) was only 452 calories but loaded with sprouts, all kinds of veggie that are practially calorie less, but B's 452 calories, in volume was 2-3 time as much as the consentrated A with just basically meat and bread.


Then top this with the before a mostly veggie dinner soup and a fibrous apple for desert and you'll feel full and satisfied and will weigh less that week. I've lost 6 more lbs.(One, week!)


2. Diane Thornocks book, 2000 Calories + had the same idea ,but again, peddled her concepts in her own style, for her own reasons. It's now on theft store shelves because she too got carried away with the new "fads" low-fat, a little truth (word of wisdom and stretch out the meat or protein idea, was about volume that made it successfully in our area, but the fat concepts went too far. And her diet plan really didn't fit all if your were sick, too much meat, and not a good diabetic reversal diet. However she did prove, as did Susan Powder, it wasn't about calorie counting. Many did very well on her diet. You had to eat over 2000 calories every day to lose and I did lose, but the fat thing seem to be a problem for me after time passed? She did die young of cancer.


However, I wouldn't mention these books if their wasn't a lot of good knowledge in them that's needed to be considered to lose weight. She was right about the amount of calories needed to lose weight, as she loaded it with the volume or negative calories.


3. Another good book, now in thrift stores, is Susan Powers book, "Stop the Insanity." She too got carried away with fads and her carrying the low fat idea too far. I figure it out better, don't every buy anything over 30% fat calories in the first place. However if you do eat something over 30% just dilute what was eaten...at the time of eating it just add in more fiber or no fat complex whole wheat bread etc in that casserole stomach. I got down to a size 18 and that's great for me. But I went insane too because the fat was too low.


4. I learned a lot with that by the diet bible of all bibles Zone Diet. But he did teach me about being foggy after a meal means your too low in fats i.e. And, he was never FAT or had diabetes and too much meat in this diet. The other was, don't repeat that meal if you were too foggy etc.

Update:
However, adding in volume if the right basic plant foods is a good approach. Never eat a desert without a meal...too much sugar...dilute its volume to a plant base meal. It wtll dilute the sugars and bafats. Try cutting, slicing and peeled the fruits in snack-bags for deserts. Note: Their are good oils, use them, don't count the calorie, you'll see, you'll lose weight.
