Negative calorie foods and Fat Loss???

All Foods contain calories i.e. contains at least some energy! Some not many. Most foods contain so much calories that the calories released to the body is far more than the energy needed to digest them. The result? Fat gain.
These foods many times release more energy than is needed by the body as at the time of eating them, so the body stores the excess always in the form of fat. The result? Fat gain.
Are there some foods that eating them actually makes you lose fat?
Find out below…

Negative calorie foods are foods which;
1. Contain so little energy that the body actually uses more energy to digest and absorb the nutrients. So if you subtract calories you'll burn from the calories you eat, the result will be negative. Only by digesting the food you have eaten in this case, there will be a net loss of energy or a negative energy balance. i.e. such foods, which use more calories from the body to digest than the calories the food actually contains. This is because calories from these foods are much harder for the body to use. In other words, the body has to work hard in order to extract calories from these foods.
For example;

a. A piece of cake containing of 500 calories may only require 150 calories to digest by our body, resulting in a net gain of 350 calories which is added to our body fat! The result? Fat gain.

b. On the other hand, a 44 calorie apple may require 220 calories to digest, but resulting in a net loss of 176 calories from our body fat!!! The result? Fat Loss. It implies that the more you eat, the more you lose fat!!!
Therefore, these foods are said to be good for achieving Fat loss naturally without starving."

2. The human body lacks the enzymes needed to digest (breakdown) them so the whole process of moving such foods through the body would take small, measurable amounts of energy, with zero calories released to the body in some cases. In other words, the body has to work hard in order to extract calories from these foods, thus using calories from the stored reserves in the body. The result? Fat Loss.

3. Increase the metabolism (fat-burning machine) by eating them which always results in Fat Loss.
