This dieting concept sounds so good you really do want to believe it’s true.
That is, the idea of negative calorie foods…
Basically, some foods require more energy to digest than the calories contained within the food, and so eating them will help you lose weight.
Citrus fruits and celery have both basked in this flattering light down through the years. But, you may have heard anything from cabbage to spinach to grapefruit being called a negative calorie food.
Once upon a time, Christmas was all about giving… giving up on your diet, that is!
The feasting normally begins when the first giant box of chocolates arrive, then drags on into mid-January when you need to buy jeans in a bigger size.
Perhaps you’re already bracing yourself for the inevitable weight gain this Christmas.
But, overindulgence at Christmas does not have to be a given.
Technically “Christmas” is only one day in the year, so poor eating habits don’t have to span across the whole holiday season.
I hear a lot of dieters saying you should never eat late at night.
Carbs in particular are often highlighted, as if they somehow take on a magically different structure once the clock strikes a certain time.
I often find myself wondering where these ideas come from in the first place.

If you go into any supermarket or deli you’ll find a massive selection of olives to choose from.
Whether it’s oil-cured, water-cured, brine-cured, lye-cured, pitted, unpitted, stuffed or unstuffed, black or green, manzanilla, kalamata, nicoise, liguria, lugano, or sevillano.
Whew… how could you EVER choose?
And, are they all the same nutritionally speaking?
“The whiter the bread the quicker you’re dead!”
If there’s one thing I’ve realized when I talk to others about healthy eating it’s that we lllloooovvvee our breads.
It seems you can take away our chocolate, our ice cream, and even our takeaways, but don’t even think about taking away our bread!
People get really defensive when you so much as suggest too many carbs could be contributing to their poor health issues.
None moreso than health professionals, though.
So, why is it that we all love our breads and pasta so much?
