20 Foods That Have Almost 0 Calories

Here are 20 of the BEST WEIGHT LOSS FOODS! These foods will help you get rid of that belly fat and get shredded. Fat-burning foods help you create tasty weight loss-friendly meals for a low amount of calories. Find out exactly what foods to eat for cutting and losing weight.

Dieting so that you can burn fat from stubborn areas like your belly, love handles, and hips can be really challenging because cutting your calories can easily leave you feeling deprived, hungry, and miserable. But the good news is that there are foods that taste great and can help fill you up for almost 0 calories. So today I want to go over 20 of the best foods that fall under this category.

Starting first with Shirataki noodles. These are actually also referred to as konjac noodles or miracle noodles. And they're called Miracle noodles for a reason. These noodles are unique because they are very filling yet very low in calories. Just an eight-ounce serving contains only about 20 calories. Meanwhile, the same amount of regular pasta could cost you as much as 300 calories. On top of the fact that shirataki noodles are low in calories, the calories come in the form of insoluble fiber. When you eat insoluble fiber you end up taking in fewer calories in the form of carbs compared to other forms of carbohydrates like soluble fiber and starches. This is because this type of fiber doesn't get absorbed entirely. To be exact you'll only absorb about 1.5 calories per gram of insoluble fiber compared to the four grams that you would absorb if you were eating a regular carbohydrate full of starches or sugar instead. So, this means that for an eight-ounce serving of shirataki noodles, you'll effectively only end up with a net intake of 7.5 calories, making these noodles one of the best carbohydrates for burning fat and one of the best weight loss foods in general.
Another carbohydrate that's similar is slim rice, and it can be used as an alternative to shirataki noodles. It only contains about 7 to 9 calories for every 100-gram serving. To put that into perspective, the same amount of brown rice would cost you a little over 110 calories. Slim rice is also gluten-free and made from non-GMO konjac flour. This is the same ingredient that's used in shirataki noodles. But you can eat it in rice form instead, which might be more suitable for certain meals. And the good news is that the texture and consistency of the product is similar to regular rice. Now, since many of the foods. Now since most veggies are also very low in calories, it might not be a bad idea to try steaming some vegetables and serving them along with slim rice for an almost calorie-free meal. You should know that there are also many claims about konjac root having appetite-suppressing effects. Unfortunately, more studies are needed to confirm this, but if it does help suppress appetite on top of being really low in calories, then it could really help with fat loss even more, especially if you find yourself hungry throughout the day. 

Next, we have the cucumber. Cucumbers are very low in calories and very high in water content which helps fill you up. 97 percent of a cucumber is made up of water and a 100 gram serving of cucumber contains only 15 calories. which makes it easy to add cucumber to your diet without bumping up your caloric intake by much. On top of that, research indicates that cucumbers may help reduce and control blood sugar levels, which can help reduce hunger cravings caused by irregular blood sugar levels. (4) For weight loss purposes you should eat the cucumber unpeeled because it'll increase the amount of fiber, helping you feel fuller, and the skin contains much of the vitamins and minerals. 

Another very low-calorie food happens to be sugar-free jello. This tasty snack contains only 5 to 10 calories and can help you satisfy your sweet tooth without skyrocketing your caloric intake. Aside from the low amount of calories it contains gelatin which has been shown to help reduce appetite and increase the feelings of fullness. (4.5) There are also brands that contain no preservatives, and if you buy the Jell-O pouches you can easily take them on the go with you. 

Next, we have Zucchini, and not only is zucchini mostly made up of water but it can be used to replace one of the highest calorie carbs... pasta. All you need is a spiralizer and you can very easily crank out some zucchini noodles. These noodles can be used in many delicious low-calorie meals. One simple option for example is to cook them, add salsa, and a little bit of parmesan cheese. And there are plenty of other low-calorie options like pesto zucchini pasta, that will blow your mind. Zucchini contains only 17 calories per 100 grams, meanwhile, the same amount of pasta contains 131 calories, and it's much less filling. On top of all of that, just like a cucumber...

not only was this video informational, but it was incredibly well edited and a different kind of informational. you spoke of tomato soup and how the canned versions can be higher in bad stuff, and then proceeded to give us a recipe and tell us how to cook it for ourselves. you deserve all the success you get, and thank you for all the information.

I almost never comment on anything, but this video is GOOOD, easy to understand and he put all the research that he mentioned in the pinned comment. I never even thought about how different foods fill you up with less calories. Just add some protein with those meals and you're good to go with cutting calories and building muscle at the same time. The effort of this video is much appreciated. Thank you. 😊

your diet and fitness videos helped me to loose about 20Kgs in 3 months, Yap, I kinda loose weight very easily but 20kgs is very big number. After 3 months I fully quit fitness activities and just about 15-20 percent of my diet was still in action, but I gained only 7 kgs in 8 months. Thank you comrade. I have started soft diet progrrame 2 week ago, based on your videos and already lost 2 kgs of weight. I undertand that I loose weight quite easy, but without your help I wouldnt be able to gain 60-70% of my achievmants

Be very careful with konjak. My husband, who is not overweight, ate a bowl full and over 24 hours later had to be rushed to the hospital. He had a severe blockage and needed surgery to remove it. The surgeons were completely shocked to find almost a cup of those noodles had completely blocked his intestines. They are using him as a study now for the konjak.

[maddiherewini]

20 seconds in and he's already started the list. YES thank you! Get right into it! No BS! I

This is the best set of advice for weightloss dieting i've come across. Thank you for this, and for backing your work up with sources, this is priceless! Thank you.

Awesome video. Keeps things simple and to the point while being entertaining and educational. Loved that you gave an example of a meal at the end

[chelseagill]

Tip of advice : the shirataki noodles take forever to leave your stomach, people have had to get them surgically removed because eating them on a daily /weekly basis can cause stomach problems. Like he said they are insoluble, so they cannot be digested and come out looking just the same as they did in packaging. Instead try heart of palm noodles or zucchini noodles, they are much more beneficial to the body and are actually made for consumption!
Trust me I’ve tried to use the miracle noodles for weight loss but they are not worth the pain and bloating they cause! ♡

Very educational video!! I used to be really fat. I had 390lbs in September last year, and when I saw that number it was way more than I thought it is. I was really mad at myself. It really hit me hard, and I realised I got to do something. Not just sit and wait for problem to resolve itself. It was a life changing decision, because I have probably been on the verge of developing some serious health condition... So at first I got my diet plan created on a website dietarize, which was super helpful to me. In the first two months of following my eating plan I lost 45lbs. And by february of this year another 40, for the total of 85lbs in five months... After that I started slowly exercising. First just by walking, and eventually I joined gym and now I go five days a week, still walking on the weekends. I realised that I am stronger than I ever thought I have been. Never had any confidence, and now I can run, do burpees, do push-ups... I take these small victories!!
