The name of the negative calorie diet was brought
about by the net result of eating the food. In theory, the idea behind
this method of dieting is that if you eat, say, an apple which contains
50 calories, it would take a certain amount of energy for your body
to process all of the nutrients and vitamins within the apple. In doing
so you would burn more than 50 calories. Now the amount of calories
you would burn is dependent on the individual. Some say that you could
burn as much as 150% of the total calories found within the apple. The
net result is that you would burn 25 calories per apple you eat.
As you eat any type of food your body produces
enzymes to break down the calories contained in the food. As with the
Negativite Calorie Diet, some are thought to believe that it actually
produces more enzymes than needed to break down the calories contained
in the food itself. This is the premise behind the negative calorie
diet.
