NEGATIVE CALORIE FOODS
11/14/2008 - By Margaux Sky
No, no, no, negative calorie food does not mean food that has no calories. Wishful thinking. All food has calories, but that’s okay.
We need calories even though the word causes us to shrink with despair. Calories are actually a good thing when provided by the proper food groups.
A simple explanation for “negative calorie food” is that your digestive system uses more calories to burn the negative calorie food (e.g. broccoli) than the food itself has. For instance, were you to eat a serving of asparagus (very low in calories), your digestive system has to use more calories to digest the asparagus than the asparagus consists of. Why? Your body has to labor twice the effort to pull the calories out of these foods. In effect, it’s believed one can actually lose weight by eating negative calorie foods.
The human body needs calories to feed off of, to grow, to heal, and to produce energy. We need enzyme producing vitamins and minerals that stimulate the body to break down calories, and we need nutrients that consist of good fat, good carbohydrates, and protein.
Speaking of fat, junk food consists of no valuable nutrients, so while you’re consuming a meal you have convinced yourself tastes fabulous, you’re gulping down garbage that has no natural enzyme structure, and therefore sends a screaming SOS to your body to manufacture enzymes to breakdown the mass of clotting calories ingested. The cry for help typically results in the lining of your intestinal tract to come to the rescue and turn these empty calories into usable energy. This isn’t the foremost function of the lining of your intestinal tract.
These days, it’s difficult to find whole natural foods that have a complete and full beneficial affect on the human body unless you shop organic. Chemicals, preservatives, additives, pesticides, and several other factors throw themselves in the way of the white light of eating completely healthy.
So, here’s a list of some of the negative calorie foods you can enjoy and know that while you’re eating them, there’s a good chance you’re losing weight, shoring up your proper enzyme structure, filling your reservoir of energy and health with vital nutrients, minerals, and vitamins that will keep you sailing safely away from an onslaught of sluggish, nauseous health.

SIMPLE ASPARAGUS SALAD
1 bunch asparagus (fresh and cleaned)
1-cup fresh blackberries or raspberries (or mixed)
12 slices of Mandarin Orange (preferably fresh)
4 cups green cabbage (chopped)
1-cup water
1 cup sliced almonds (raw or roasted)
1 cup Goat Cheese (optional)
1/4-teaspoon fennel (diced into small pieces)
Fresh lemon juice
Lemon Pepper (to taste)
In a large skillet over medium heat, pour 1 cup of water and place the cleaned asparagus into the skillet. Cover and cook only long enough for the asparagus to steam (approximately 3-4 minutes). (An alternative: you can place the asparagus on a baking sheet, dabble with a bit of olive oil (or not) and place in a hot 350 degree oven for 2-3 minutes.)
Remove from the heat and remove the asparagus from the skillet. Let cool.
In a large bowl, combine all other ingredients except the lemon juice, lemon pepper, and goat cheese. Gently mix the salad and spoon onto plates.
Serve with warm bread and a fine wine.
Serves 4.
**Extra tip: To make this an even more complete and tasty meal, add blackened or baked Salmon on top of the salad, or cube it and mix in gently with the salad. **
