I’ve been scheming to take the full advantage of my recently shrunken stomach since I can feel it’s already expanding, now that I’m eating normally. For years, I have seen on TV and read articles either online or in magazines about foods with negative calories. In other words, foods that make you burn more calories than they contain when your body tries to digest. So far I have found the following food items to contain negative caloric values.
| Vegetables | Fruits |
|---|---|
| Asparagus Beet root Broccoli Cabbage Carrot Cauliflower Celery Chicory Hot chili pepper Cucumber Garden cress Garlic Green beans Lettuce Onion Radish Spinach Turnip Zucchini |
Apple Apricot Blueberry Cantaloupe Cranberry Grapefruit Honeydew Lemon Lime Mango Orange Papaya Peach Pineapple Raspberry Strawberry Tomato Tangerine Watermelon |
I somehow remembered apple being one of them so I’ve been eating an apple a day. And I have decided that from now on I will;
- eat chips always with spicy salsa (tomato, hot chili pepper, onion and garlic)
- always have pickles (cucumber) with my sandwich from cafeteria
- ask for lettuce, tomato and onion in my sandwich even though I don’t like tomato in sandwiches
- always put either strawberries, blueberries, raspberries or peaches in my cereal
- ask for more lemon wedges with my fish and squeeze them on the fish liberally
That’s all for now, short of eating these dreadful vegetables (I generally despise vegetables) and fruits by themselves. I thought eating lemon sorbet or apple pie or peach cobbler often was pushing it.
