Does anyone have any experience with a "negative calorie" (foods that supposedly take more calories to digest than they can provide) diet?
A nurse at a facility we frequent recently went from 315lbs to 178lbs by starting with 21 days of a "negative calorie" diet followed by a five month period on 1800 calories a day then another 21 days on the negative calorie dealio.
I don't have the 100 plus pounds to lose that he did, and I'm already about 40lbs into my total goal of 75lbs of weight loss (yeah, yeah, I was a super fatty). But I am thinking about doing a negative calorie diet for a couple weeks just to kind of cleanse my body out and try to get rid of some of the cravings that I occasionally cave to.
Anyone tried this? Any positive or negative experiences with this?
BTW, it's mostly a fruit and veggie diet, I've found a couple soup recipes and the like, I'm basically just looking for any input anyone might have before I start on Tuesday.
