Foods That Cause You to Lose Weight: The Negative Calorie Effect

Consigliato da una ragazza che da anni segue il Dr Neil Barnard, ho voluto approfondire anche io la questione delle calorie negative. Il concetto generale delle calorie oggi è stato un po' rivisto ma continua ad essere importante in ambito nutrizionale. I consigli del Dr Barnard sono utili e le sue idee ben spiegate, ovviamente poi vanno bilanciate con la cultura enogastrionomica italiana, molto diversa e sicuramente meno dannosa di quella americana. Lettura scorrevole anche se in lingua inglese, mi piacerebbe (in quanto professionista del settore sanitario) poterlo tradurre in italiano e bilanciarlo con i principi della dieta mediterranea, patrimonio immateriale dell'umanità.

Maybe I just had the wrong expectations, but I thought this would be a bit more science based and discuss things like metabolism and how the body processes food. This is really simplified and most of it is just recipes.I personally don’t like recipe books without photos, so was really disappointed.I paid over $26 for it. I would have been ok with this if it were maybe $12 maximum, but it’s not worth $26.I returned this for a refund.

Some time ago I got hold of a book called fat burning foods. Since then I have been fascinated by the idea. A few weeks ago I downloaded a copy of Neal Barnards 21 day weightloss kickstart. I wanted to find a way to eat that would allow me to adjust my weight slowly over time without a diet as such. The book was really good. Based on cutting out certain foods it does just that. I tried out a few of the recipes and between my partner and I we noticed that we immediately had more energy, were fuller longer and we were losing weight. On the back of that discovery we decided to take things a little more seriously and switch to eating that way all the time. We got hold of this book to compliment what we were now doing and to get the recipes it contains. That was about two months ago and we have both been slowly and steadily losing weight ever since. So far I've lost just under a stone.The thing to know about the recommendations in this book is that for some people they will be hard to switch to. If your diet is heavily meat oriented you will not have such an easy time of changing as I did. However, the book is full of real examples of what your food does to you and why you should consider changing the way you eat.The bottom line is this. Regardless of how bizarre it sounds when I say I have not cut down my food intake and I have still had the above experience.. it's true. Neal Barnard's advice has really worked for me (and my partner). What do you have to lose?

It is a simple guide to weight loss and increase energy, I love it.

It is an excellent book .those who really care about health should read this book
