True or not?; Eat to lose fat

Weight Loss with Negative Calorie Foods

Health News on FOX2 TV Nov 2006
FOX 2 News employee, Mike Baker put the theory of Negative Calorie Foods to test. He lost 70 pounds and 30.5 inches and his wife Suzie lost 40 pounds and 31 inches.

All foods have some calories. No food is actually "negative calorie" food. But the overall effect of certain foods in our body is that of "negative calories". Negative calorie foods are foods, which use more calories to digest than the calories the foods actually contain! Calories from these foods are much harder for the body to breakdown and process. In other words, the body has to work harder in order to extract calories from these foods.This gives these foods a tremendous natural fat-burning advantage, and these are also known as fat burning foods.

A piece of dessert consisting of 400 calories may require only 150 calories to be digested by our body, resulting in a net gain of 250 calories which is added to our body fat! According to this theory, for example, if you eat 100 calories of a food that requires 150 calories to digest, then you've burnt an additional 50 calories simply by eating that food.

Typically, a 25 calorie piece of broccoli (100 gram) requires 80 calories to digest, resulting in a net loss of 55 calories from the body fat!! Thus, the more you eat, the more you lose weight!!!

There are a wide variety of these negative calorie fat-burners in existence. In fact, there are a large number of foods that combine low calories, delicious taste, and excellent negative calorie properties. For reducing weight and to fight obesity, you should not starve anymore. You can eat a lot of these foods to lose that extra fat and to become slim naturally.

Some of these natural foods are asparagus, apple, beet, berries, broccoli, cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, celery, chili, cucumber, garlic, lettuce, grapefruit, lemon, mango, onion, orange, papaya, pineapple, spinach, turnip, zucchini, etc. The list of negative calorie foods contains about 100 foods.

Even it's exaggerated, I think it's still great to eat lots of fruits and vegetables:)
