Does Catabolic Diet Really Work?
Similar to the negative calorie diet, the Catabolic Diet has a scientific sounding name, and it focuses on fruits, vegetables, and other foods that supposedly help you to burn more calories than you get by eating them. So in the end, it leads your body to burn excess fat calories that may have built up before.
How Effective is the Catabolic Diet?
The Catabolic Diet has been described as a diet that will help you to “lose weight faster than starvation”, and obviously it’s a lot healthier considering the fact that you are technically eating food on a regular basis. But helping you to lose more weight than you would if you starved yourself? That’s a bit questionable. Again, you are eating food. But what kind of food are we talking about?
What is Catabolic Food?
Catabolic food contains so little energy that your body literally burns more calories just to digest it. Catabolic foods are all fruits and vegetables, rich in vitamins and minerals, low in calories, high in fiber, and of course low in fat. And it’s actually the high fiber content that makes your body work harder to digest said food.
A few catabolic food examples include carrots, cauliflower, celery, lettuce, spinach, apples, grapefruit, pineapple, oranges, and tangerines. Some Catabolic Diet programs have stated to incorporate certain red meats. But this is questionable.
Should You Follow a Catabolic Diet?
Eating catabolic foods is not a bad thing. Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals, and fibers, and fruits and vegetables or Catabolic foods are absolutely essential to successful weight loss results. But unfortunately, catabolic foods cannot provide all of the nutrients your body needs, like proteins for example and good fatty acids. Therefore, it’s important to expand your Catabolic Diet, if you are going to use it, to include a more complete nutritional profile.
