Foods That Don't Make You Fat

Believe it or not, there are actually foods that have very little or even negative calories in them. These foods will not make you fat. You can become slim by selecting the right foods. Choose from a variety of foods that will help you maintain your present weight or lose unwanted excess weight. It is better to eat foods that will assist in burning fat while making healthier choices and maintaining a well-balanced nutritional diet.

Vegetables with Negative Calories

• Sliced Vegetables Jullienne Style

  Some vegetables contain enough vitamins and minerals to make enzymes that break down not only the vegetable's own calories, but further calories from digestion as well. When this happens it has a negative calorie result. There are actually quite a few of these fat-burning vegetables that have the negative calorie effect. Some of these vegetables include asparagus, beet roots, broccoli, onions, lettuce, turnips, cabbage and spinach. You can also have carrots, celery, radishes and cucumbers.

Low-calorie Fruit

• A Citrus Array

  Make a fruit smoothy or a colorful fruit salad using fat-burning or low-calorie fruit. Apples, blueberries, and cranberries are great for making homemade granola bars. Find some fruit recipes and add them to your collection. Having a variety of different fruit on hand will help you stick to the healthier choices.

Snack Without Guilt

• Plain Popcorn

  Snack on plain popcorn or puffed wheat cereal if you're craving something crunchy. Freeze some low-fat yogurt if you feel like eating ice cream. Limit pickles; even though they are low in calories they do contain a high amount of sodium. Chicken broth can be a nice snack and it is somewhat filling. You can also have low-fat puddings to satisfy that sweet tooth.
