As an example, she also cited greens, seaweed, celery, cabbage, asparagus, cucumbers, zucchini.

“This information is useful for those who are going to lose weight, because when losing weight you do not need to go on a starvation diet.

It is enough to include in your diet in large quantities products that have zero calorie content, ”said the doctor.

The fact that negative-calorie foods burn fat, the nutritionist called a myth.

“These products speed up metabolism and improve digestion,” the RT interlocutor concluded.
