Preparing pinto bean salad

1. Mix in a large bowl the apple cider vinegar, barbecue sauce and molasses. Whisk until thoroughly mixed.
    
2. Add the vegetables: scallions, tomatoes and rinsed pinto beans.

Your body will crave these 10 negative calorie diet foods because it will make you look young and healthy. They contain lots of antioxidants that:

• prevent disease
   
• damp down inflammation in the body
   
• let you age more slowly
   
• help to reduce risks of getting cancer.

1. Berries

Don’t think only Acai Berries! All berries :

• have the highest fruit sources for antioxidants
   
• contain lots of fibers and other beneficial nutrients.

From the berries, wild blueberries are the most healthy from our local berries. Substitute dessert or sweetened cereal with a mixture of:

• blueberries,
   
• nonfat, plain yogurt,
   
• fresh, unsalted almonds or pecans,
   
• sprinkled with ground cinnamon and ground flaxseed.

2. Nuts

Nuts are a great source of vegetable protein, vegetarians will confirm that. Nuts will benefit your health because they:

• lower cholesterol levels,
   
• boost your immune system,
   
• help prevent osteoporosis and diabetes
   
• reduce risks of heart and other age-related diseases.

Substitute candy with nuts!

3. Citrus fruit

Especially lemon is underutilized in water as a healthy zero calorie foods drink. Recommended for those that "don’t like the taste of water" like me

Citrus fruit contains lots of vitamin C and is rich in fiber. Substitute sweetened cereal with oranges!

4. Broccoli

The more broccoli you eat, the healthier you’ll be. It helps prevent dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease and obesity.

Broccoli is absolutely loaded with Vitamin C, folic acid, fiber and nutrients yet basically calorie free.

Substitute for French fries or any potato when steamed and eaten with olive oil.

5. Red wine

Red wine helps you reducing the spike in sugar after you eat. But only drink at most 2 glasses of red wine a day! 1 glass is about 5 to 6 oz or 150 to 180 ml.

Red wine further helps reduce inflammation and one glass is as powerful as taking one cholesterol-lowering drug."

Substitute beer and distilled spirits with red wine.

6. Salmon

Salmon is high in protein and omega 3-fats and one of the healthiest foods you can eat. Both farm salmon and wild salmon.

Substitute prime rib with salmon.

7. Spinach

Ever wondered why Popeye is an healthy old sailor? Because spinach like most other leafy greens are rich in folic acid, Vitamin C, iron and lutein. Great for your eyes and your brain.

Substitute for mashed potatoes. Make sure don’t add cream nor butter but do use … olive oil.

Popeye and Olive… it’s just very old wisdom!

8. Nonfat dairy

Non fat dairy is high-quality protein, grows muscle, fills you up, helps you to loose weight and is a valuable source of calcium. "

Do look for the nonfat diary you prefer. I don’t like skimmed cows milk but do love goats milk with some added water.

Substitute for ice cream. I just love a cup of goats milk straight out of the fridge!

9. Beans

Another great protein source, especially when you love to eat black and red beans. They are high in folic acid, without the bad saturated fats.

Beans are a great substitute for fatty hamburger, ham or bacon and make a strong breakfast.

10. Green tea

A bit more expensive than water with lemon, but my favorite drink during the day.

 Green Tea is loaded with antioxidants that help crank up metabolism and burn belly fat.

It’s calorie-free with light to moderate caffeine. Don’t add honey, sugar nor calorie-free sweeteners: this ancient Asian drink is at its best when pure.

If you don’t have an Asian shop nearby or you can’t wait to get green tea, do like me: I buy Green tea online at VeryAsia.com: the Best source for Asian product online.Complete selection of Asian groceries, snacks, housewares and appliances. Easy shopping and low price.

Enjoy the most healthy negative calorie fruit of all in this negative calorie diet recipe for free: baked stuffed papaya.

Papaya is a negative calorie food that benefits:

• digestion in general and
   
• diabetes sufferers in particular.

Why? Because papaya is rich in antioxidants like carotenes, vitamin C, vitamin E and flavonoids. And these will help:

1. Prevent atherosclerosis – thickening of the arteries and diabetic heart disease.

How does papaya prevent this? The secret lies in the anti-oxidants.

Antioxidants are known to inhibit the oxidation of cholesterol and cholesterol is responsible for the build-up of fat in the blood vessels.

Anti-oxidants cause the cholesterol not to oxidize, and when it doesn’t oxidise, it will be unable to stick to the walls of the arteries, build-up as plaque and gradually cause heart attacks or strokes.

Compare it with a chimney: if nothing burns, that is, nothing gets oxidized, then your chimney will keep clean. Similar happens with your arteries: they keep clean when your diet is rich in anti-oxidants.

Other than that, just the high amount of fiber in papaya already lowers cholesterol levels.

2. Prevention of colon cancer!

Again the combination of anti-oxidants and fiber explains why:

• anti-oxidants like folate (Vitamin B9), vitamin C, beta-carotene, and vitamin E are known to lower the risk of all cancers
   
• the fiber of the papaya binds itself to cancer-causing toxins in the colon and keeps them away from healthy cells. In other words: the colon cancer cells wont be able to proliferate.

3. Prevention of rheumatoid arthritis

(see also Green lipped mussels arthritis treatments)

Foods rich in Vitamin C like papaya protect against inflammatory polyarthritis: a type of arthritis that can affect one or more joints.

4. Prevention of macular degeneration in the eye.

5. Prevention of lung disease.

6. Protecting the immune system.

But before we start baking this delicious negative calorie food diet, you need to learn why your body keeps on craving for sweets or calories for that matter.

We all know when you walk next to a bakery in the morning, the smell of fresh bread and pastry makes your appetite wet. But did you know you could trigger your appetite without your sense of smell nor taste?

Scientists experimented on mice that weren’t able taste sweets at all. Then they were then given two drinking choices:

1. plain water and
    
2. sweetened water with sucrose.

The mice immediately went for the sugared water. This indicated that mice can sense the presence of calories without taste nor smell.

Unfortunately, humans have a similar mechanism when it comes to detecting calories. No wonder, as in evolution, humans needed to find calories in all ways possible.

To make things worse, our 6th sense for calories is located in the pleasure centers of the brain. Simply put: when calories come into your body, your brain triggers a pleasurable response. In plain English: we love it when we are eating.

But what happens if you drink a diet Coke? Although taste wise it’s similar to normal Coke, your body doesn’t sense the calories, hence doesn’t trigger a pleasurable response.

People that eat for pleasure have no use in drinking diet Coke, unless they finish so much Diet Coke with a similar amount of calories than normal coke.

That’s a good reason to eat as many negative calorie foods as possible…
