Lose weight with these five ‘negative calorie’ foods

Weight loss is basically about achieving a ‘calorie deficit’- which basically involves burning more calories than you consume. A calorie deficit is the first and foremost step towards weight loss and only when one achieves a calorie deficit can one hope to lose weight. This clearly means that exercising is the one factor that should be indispensable for losing weight because it is only physical activity through which one can burn a lot of calories at a given time.

However, there is another way through which one can burn calories, in amounts that can actually help achieve a calorie deficit and aid weight loss. Foods called ‘negative calories’ are food items that burn a lot of calories while being digested, much more than they contribute to the body. They thus speed up the process that helps achieve calorie deficit and weight loss. Including these food items in your diet can help you to lose weight by burning calories rapidly. Here are five negative calorie foods that you can include in your diet regime and start losing weight without much exercise.

Sweetener Reformulated Biscuits: A Step Towards Blood Glucose Control

In a recent study led by Catherine Gibbons from the University of Leeds, the effects of sweetener reformulated biscuits on appetite and endocrine responses in adults with overweight or obesity were evaluated. This study, conducted between 2021 and 2022 in England and France, sheds light on the potential benefits of substituting sucrose with sweeteners like neotame and stevia rebaudioside M (StRebM). The findings suggest that while the reformulated biscuits yielded similar appetite responses compared to sucrose-sweetened ones, they demonstrated a significant advantage in terms of post-meal insulin and glucose levels. Participants consuming biscuits with neotame and StRebM experienced lower postprandial insulin levels compared to those consuming sucrose, indicating a potential positive impact on blood glucose control. This is particularly noteworthy in the context of individuals at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. However, it's essential to acknowledge the limitations highlighted ...
