All of you who are desperately trying to lose some weight should opt for negative calorie foods to add to your diet. Apart from exercising and eating healthy, you could just eat these foods as well as they are low on calories and actually help burn more calories than they contain. However, it is also important to remember that you should not restrict your diet to these foods. You also need to follow a proper diet and eat right.



Here are a few negative calorie foods you could add to your diet:



Apple: Apples contain just 50 calories per 100 grams. Remember to retain their skin when you eat them though. It even contains pectin which aids weight loss, and boosts digestion.



Broccoli: Broccoli is considered as a really good source of fibre and is also thought of as a superfood because it contains antioxidant properties.



Watermelon: Its lycopene content boosts heart health and the nutrients present in it work wonders in improving flood flow and immunity.



Potato: Potatoes contain just 58 calories and are a good source of potassium and vitamins B6 and C. You'll have to eat them without frying though.



Spinach: Apart from being rich in Vitamins A and K, it is also rich in minerals that aid the body.



So, when will you start incorporating these foods in your diet?
