Can eating single foods such as celery or grapefruit cause weight loss?
It is a common myth that celery uses more energy to digest than it provides. While these foods are healthy, low calorie foods, they are not calorie free. Unfortunately no single food can cause weight loss. If you want to lose weight you need to make sure that the energy you expend is higher than your energy intake. Does heating olive oil turn it bad? In home cooking, healthy oils do not get changed into unhealthy ones. To preserve the delicate flavour of olive oil, do not cook it past its smoking point. To ensure the health of your oils, never reuse oils. How long does meat take to digest? It is a myth that meat can take days to digest. It takes about 6 hours to be completely digested. For healthy digestion ensure adequate fluid and fibre. My friend told me “Don’t worry about a big night drinking, just do an extra half hour at the gym.” Is this a good philosophy? Most people overestimate the energy they expend while working out and underestimate their energy intake. It’s about balance.
