The #1 New York Times bestselling author, chef, and
healthy living expert Rocco DiSpirito returns with a
revolutionary whole foods-based diet plan and cookbook
featuring more than seventy-five delicious recipes and 100
color photographs.
In The Negative Calorie
Diet, Rocco DiSpirito shares how simple it is to eat
wholesome, delicious foods that naturally support weight
loss. He calls these foods “negative calorie foods”—foods
that help you to burn body fat, lose weight, and boost your
metabolism. These whole foods are packed with fiber, so not
only do you tend to eat smaller portions of them naturally,
but you also stay fuller, longer. These nutritious
superfoods offer the essential vitamins and minerals the
body needs to keep your metabolism running efficiently. Some
even offer what is known as a “thermogenic
effect”—effectively boosting your metabolism to increase the
rate at which your body burns energy. And you can eat as
much of them as you want!
Rocco begins with a ten-day
cleanse designed to kick-start weight loss and detox the
body, preparing it to reap the benefits of a nutrient-rich,
whole foods diet. Next comes the twenty-day meal plan, with
step-by-step guidance to help you achieve maximum results.
To make it easy, Rocco gives you more than seventy-five
recipes for meals, snacks, smoothies, and desserts that use
his Top 10 Negative Calorie Foods: almonds, apples, berries,
celery, citrus fruits, cruciferous vegetables (such as
cauliflower and Brussels sprouts), cucumbers, leafy greens
(including Swiss chard, spinach, and kale), mushrooms, and
nightshade vegetables, including peppers, tomatoes,
eggplant, and more.
Complete with grocery shopping
lists, troubleshooting FAQs, a guide to dining out, and
advice for adapting the plan for kids and families as well
as vegetarian, gluten-free, and low-sugar lifestyles,
The Negative Calorie Diet helps you build healthy
habits to lose weight and achieve better health for a
lifetime.
