Have You Ever Heard Of Negative Calorie Foods? Here are 6 foods to incorporate into your weight-loss plan.

Weight loss is something that is always on our minds, despite the fact that health trends come and go. In today's world, social media expectations and Bollywood's promotion of beautiful bodies have made losing weight nearly an obsession. We appear to be always attempting to squeeze in the dimensions of the next perfect body prototype. Weight loss isn't the problem; it's the starvation and extreme diet culture that should be avoided.Some diet routines are detrimental because of a widespread belief that all food contains a certain number of calories that must continuously be monitored. If you're starting your weight-loss journey and don't want to get caught up in the numbers game, we recommend trying negative-calorie items.

For the uninitiated, the notion behind negative calorie foods is that you can eat as much as you want without gaining weight because the process of digesting certain foods may consume more calories than they actually contain, negating the calorie addition.

"We always assume that negative means bad or substandard," says Priya Bharma, Chief Nutritionist at Sri Balaji Action Medical Institute, "but, in this case, this is exactly the opposite as food that contains negative calories can help you lose weight without destroying the number of calories that your body needs to perform the tasks in day-to-day life." So there you have it; you can eat these foods without worrying about the calories they contain. If the concept of negative calorie foods appeals to you, here are five foods to consider for your summer weight loss diet.

6.Chillies:

Chilli peppers are popular among health nuts for their fat-burning properties. Recent research has shown that the heat produced by eating chillies aids in the utilisation of more calories and, in effect, oxidises fat layers in the body. If you don't enjoy the heat of chilli peppers, all non-hot types of the fruit include 'capsaicin,' which aids in fat burning.

Dr. Anju Sood, a renowned Bangalore-based nutritionist, adds, "Negative calorie foods are those that are high in fibre or have a low glycemic index. Foods high in fibre have two objectives. Fibre takes longer to wash out of the body, so it stays in the body longer, delaying hunger. Second, because these zero-calorie foods release sugar slowly, the likelihood of it converting to fat is minimal."
