Negative calories diet melt fat cells fast


What are negative calories? Are those types of “calories” contained by foods which melt fat fast! To be digested, these foods make your organism work harder, so with their help you burn more calories than you ingest. This is why; you will probably see these aliments included in personalized diets all the time.

These are the basic steps to follow in a negative-calories diet:

  • 3 meals per day required. Snacks are not mandatory but may be taken, preferably from the list of negative calorie foods. Because at the beginning you will feel hunger, it is advisable to drink a non-sweetened tea or plain water30 minutes before each meal.
  • Also, for the same early period, before each meal, with a quarter of an hour before, take a small, anti-hunger ” snack, which can be:fruits-allowed-in-negative-calories-diet-2010-diet-tips
- Two small pieces of low-fat meat, preferably fish
- 3-4 sliced of carrots
- 2-3 tablespoons of low-fat yogurt
- 2-3 pieces of cheese
  • Do not drink water during (or immediately after) dinner and lunch
  • After each meal, drink a hot tea with lemon
  • At 17:00-18:00, drink a hot, non-sugar tea, it improves your digestion
  • Coffee is allowed, if possible with no added sugar or milk
  • Fruits have to be consumed alone, and the key thing is that you are allowed to eat the same fruit all day long, no other fruit. Every night, at 22:00 you have to eat a fruit.

You can only combine fruits if absolutely necessary, but only from the same category:

- Apples and pears
- Grapefruit, orange, tangerine, pomelo
- Strawberry with raspberry
- Peaches and apricots
Exceptions are fruits that help digest proteins, and these can be added in salads: pineapple, strawberry, grapefruit, tangerines, papaya, blueberries.
  1. What about meat? You can eat any kind of meat, even pork, as long as there is nothing else added to it and it is boiled, oven baked, stewed or grilled.
  2. Potatoes will not be combined with meat, fish, white beans, peas, lentils. Consume them only boiled or baked with toppings and salads.
  3. Dairy is not indicated as a complete meal, but only as supplements to the main courses. Cheese, cheese added to salads, yogurt eaten in the morning. You can use a tablespoon of sour cream over low boiled vegetables, mixed with parsley and garlic.

Follow high-protein diets


Remember Natalie Minh, the sexy fitness model that offered us a great interview a while back? Great! Because our collaboration continued I will now offer you some great recipes of high-protein that she follows. And look at her great great body.

First, what is high-protein diet?

A high protein diet is a bless for those who want to lose weight but still maintain their muscle structure in great shape. High protein foods contain few calories, are low in carbs and unhealthy fats
and, as a plus, they are really nutritive. Therefore, by eating a high protein diet loaded with high protein foods, you end up eating a lot of healthy, filling, low calorie foods.
“A high-protein diet is often recommended by bodybuilders and nutritionists to help efforts to build muscle and lose fat. It should not be confused with low-carb diets such as the Atkins Diet, which are not calorie-controlled and which often contain large amounts of fat.” According to Wikipedia.com
Natalie created on her online magazine, a post which contains yummy recipes of high-protein foods, and here are some of them that you may use if you are interested in following this type of weight loss program.

Banana Protein Pancakes

- 1 cup oatmeal
- 7 egg whites
- 2 big scoops of protein powder (I use vanilla or gingerbread cookie flavor)
- 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 banana
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (optional)
- artificial sweetener to taste (I used 5 Splenda packets)
Throw everything in a blender and puree it. Heat up the pan at medium heat and make your pancakes in a nonstick pan with spray oil (not necessary though). This makes enough for two people. You can eat this plain or with some applesauce instead of syrup.

Egg white burrito

- 3 egg whites
- baked and chopped chicken breast, 3oz
- few pieces of green beans
- lettuce
- cilantro to garnish
In a nonstick egg pan, fry with only spray oil the three egg whites to make a round flat wrap for the filling. Toss in there the chicken, green beans, lettuce, and cilantro. I didn’t say that this was as great as a regular burrito but if you are in contest prep this is a fun way to eat the same ingredients.

Cinnamon apple muffins

- 1 apple chopped fine
- 10 egg whites
- 500g of nonfat “fromage frais” or cottage cheese (~16-18oz)
- 2 scoops vanilla protein powder or plain protein powder and a dash of vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons of cinnamon
- (optional) 1 teaspoon baking powder
- artificial sweetener to taste
Mix everything together in a bowl. Spray a muffin tray with oil and pour into molds. Bake at 200c for 40 min. Let cool before eating.
She also mentions there that you should increase water intake due to the fact that you may have digestion problems.
So, want to look like a model, start acting like a model. A new diet could be a good place to start.

Lose weight by drinking water and tea


lose-water-by-drinking-water-and-tea-woman-drink-water-to-lose-weightThe sensation of thirst may be easily confused with that of hunger,so it is very important to grab a drink instead of a snack … if you want to lose weight!

If your body is as little dehydrated, thirst can be confused with hunger, so that your first reaction might be to eat – given that your body actually needs fluids . Moreover, considering that most foods contain water, you will be willing to eat unconsciously increasingly more to cover your initial fluid deficit, but will you deal with unwanted excess calories which will lead to weight gain.

Water helps you burn calories 3% faster

You already know that all body functions are performed in the presence of water,
so a well hydrated body will allow these functions to be performed faster and more efficiently. Moreover, if you drink plenty of water you will be able to increase your metabolic rate, you feel more full of energy and burn calories by up to 3% faster.

Other benefits of good hydration are

• Controls your appetite
• Increases metabolism
• Increases energy levels
• Significantly improving skin appearance
• A lower water retention in tissues
• Eliminates headaches
• Reduces blood pressure
• Reduces cholesterol
• Elimination of joint pain
• A lower incidence of occurrence of kidney stones

How important is drinking water for a modern diet?

woman-drinking-tea-to-lose-weight-weight-loss-tipsIf you understand how important hydration is for your body, you have pay even more attention in case you become adept of a modern diet: eat breakfast semi-prepared or in the office, eat out, at the restaurant from time to time, you get used to substitute meals with snacks, no matter how unhealthy and you have no time to cook every day. This is the modern diet…and the lack of free time leads to this kind of disorder in eating habits.
Why? Foods that contain large amounts of water (think of yogurt, milk, fruits and raw vegetables, soups) tend to degrade faster, which is why most manufacturers are turning to food dehydration (among other processes) in order to extend warranty period and minimize losses. This means that besides the added sugar and fat, your diet will be much poorer in water, where you will often opt for processed food.
So, if you keep a diet and not eat much, or if your diet contains many processed foods, I advise you to have even greater care to supplement the liquid intake!

How much to drink?

woman-losing-weight-by-drinking-tea-and-water-wight-loss-tipsSpecialists say that you have to drink the least 2 liters of fluid a day to hydrate. And yet, you’re sure you know exactly why and how to do it?
It does not refer only to water, but it is mostly about non-caloric liquids. And if you want to be even more in the spirit of diet, I suggest that you completely remove artificial ones (light beverages, beverages with non-calorie artificial sweeteners), not to mention some of the daily drinks (coffee , milk, natural juices) and take into account only natural fluids, no preservatives, no additives (mineral water, teas of various kinds).
Need greater efficiency? Think about the goals you have, besides hydration. Want to quickly remove water from the tissues? Want to lose weight? You need quiet sleep? Try creating your own blend of tea (or buy a version of the trade) to help you achieve your goals!
Tea and water go hand in hand, in fact, what is tea? Water with added plants…basically. These pants have different roles so, each one is destined to do something different.
