The quote below came from the Negative Calorie Foods Site:

“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.

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.”

My favorite Fruit Salad Recipe

2 bananas, sliced
1 apple, cut into chunks
1 orange, peeled and cut into chunks
1 cup cantaloupe, made into balls
1 cup watermelon, made into balls
1 pear, cut into chunks
1 mango, cut into chunks
unsweetened coconut flakes

Dressing:
1 banana
1 orange, sectioned
1/4 cup coconut milk
3 tsp. natural jam of your choice

Blend dressing ingredients until smooth.
Add a bit of orange juice if you want a thinner sauce.

Gently combine all of the fruit with the dressing and place into attractive serving dishes. Lightly sprinkle with unsweetened coconut flakes.

I love this freshly-blended metabolism booster gazpacho drink!  It’s my favorite Negative Calorie drink recipe.
