The Negative Calorie Diet

"Rocco's whole foods approach to weight loss is smart and satisfying. When you follow his plan, you never feel like you're on a 'diet.'" -Stacy London, New York Times-bestselling author of The Truth About Style and contributor to The View

In The Negative Calorie Diet, #1 New York Times-bestselling author, and chef 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.

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 ten Negative Calorie Foods: almonds, apples, berries, celery, citrus fruits, cruciferous vegetables, cucumbers, leafy greens, 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.

"Rocco's way of eating is all about real food, real fuel, real results. Do not be afraid. You will never go hungry on this plan!" -Daymond John, Entrepreneur and co-Star of Shark Tank
