Many people without recognizing it used The Negative Calorie Diet (Theory). This diet includes food with very small amount of calories that helps your body actually burn more calories than which was consumed. 
The energy or calories are used as a fuel, they help functioning of our body in every day activities. By this we understand breathing, food digestion, cellular interaction, and every other action or thought that can be coducted by your body . the digestion of food takes many hours, needs many calories.That’s why we can admit that eating foods that has small amount of calories like certain vegetables, salads, and fruit will help actually burn more calories than what was swallowed.
For example, you ate an orange that contained only forty calories, so a number of calories must be taken for digesting the nutrients in the orange. Forty five calories were used to digest the orange that helped you lose five calories.
If you want to lose more weight in this diet more calories must be burnt during the process of digestion than what was swallowed . To the negative calorie foods we can include the vegetables and fruits that contain high amounts of nutrients and vitamins.
The Digestive System . What is it and how it works?
All food that we swallow is broken down by our organism into nutrients that our body absorbs, That’s why the process of digestion of the food takes so much time. The protein must be broken down into amino acids, fats into fatty acids, and starches into simple sugars. The water in our drinks is also absorbs by the organism to fluid our bloodstream.
The process of igestion begins in the mouth during our meal course, when we chop through the food and our saliva helps us swallow it. The digestive enzyme in our saliva Amylase digestive breaks sugars and carbohydrates down .
When the food reaches our throat, it goes through our gullet then to our stomach..The stomach muscles mix the food with acids and enzymes, break the food into smaller fragments that can be easier for digesting.
When the food has left our stomach it looks like a thick liquid. The nutrients are absorbed and pass through our blood. Then it goes from the small intestines through our large intestine where it comes out of the rectum.
With the help of the negative calorie diet theory you are in the process of burning calories. But you should keep in mind that your body still needs other nutrients.
