Overview

The Negative Calorie Diet is a confusing guide to be honest. It starts off saying that it encourages you to eat foods which cost more in calories to digest than you get from eating them, then gives you a list of vegetables, fruits and seafoods which it says fall into that category and that you will be eating 2 – 3 pounds of those foods per day.

But then it changes and instead gives you a soup (more like a stew really but no meat) to make which you then eat for lunch and dinner for the duration of the week long diet, with some fruit for breakfast and veg only if the soup doesn’t fill you up, and you only get any meat on the last three days. So where is the 2 – 3lbs of fruit, veg and meat it spoke about first?

It is punctuated throughout by things the author says will turbocharge your metabolism (like deep breathing and drinking water) but no scientific studies are quoted for the claims to back them up. Then it covers exercise in a small amount of detail.

Then the bonuses are not actually written by the author but appear to be books you can buy and rebrand, they do contain lots of recipes but only give very basic details about how to prepare the meals.

The hypnosis tracks are actually almost unusable as they are supposed to be in two tracks and you listen to the first for about 18 minutes to learn more about hypnosis and the speaker, then the rest of the track is the actual hypnosis (in a strange and unrelaxing voice). But they are delivered as one track, so each mp3 file (of which there are 4) has a permanent identical 18 minute intro explaining about hypnosis every time you listen to it! (not very relaxing!)

The recipe software is by Dannon and says it is a free trial for short period of time, and the subliminal software just flashes up postive affirmations on the screen at you rather than enabling you to make subliminal audio files.

There is some good though, the soup sounds a lot more nutrious than the recipe for the cabbage soup diet, although still not really nutritious enough to live off.

Plus it does encourage you to eat healthily after finishing the 7 day diet and gives you tips on how to do that, if you ignore the claim that all the foods on the three lists somehow burn up more calories than they give you, then they are actually quite healthy lists of foods to follow. The author recommends you eat those foods for 60 – 70% of your daily intake.

All in all we’d like to see studies to back up all the claims in the book and the soup part sounds very much like the cabbage soup diet and as it says you can lose up to a pound a day on this diet then we are worried that it will be mostly water and muscle with some fat thrown in, from what we have read so far then it is hard to lose more than 2lbs a week of fat so the rest is usually water and muscle.

Customer Support

This is unfortunately another diet which fails to respond to customer service queries, we sent in a test question to the support email address given on the receipt and the download page at 11:21am on a Tuesday, it has now been a week and we have heard nothing back.

Your money is safe as Clickbank handle the refunds and they DO respond to all queries super quick, hence why it gets one star instead of none.
