How Nice of a Food to Lose Weight for You

We have been down the road of explaining the advantages of warm and raw vegetable salads (warves)  However something I have found something else that should be discussed.

Since they have increasingly become the backbone of my daily intake I have been losing weight. It strikes me that here is a food, virtually devoid of refined carbohydrate, except occasionally when I add a little cooked rice or blackeye beans, on which my weight has slowly lost six and  half kilos. I  think therefore the digestion of the meal itself is using lots of calories.

  It makes sense that the gut is stimulated to work harder by the tough and rough of the food, ie its sheer physical presence and that uses up the calories.

  If I was into the physics of food metabolism I might even postulate that the energy I am using up on my basically raw meal is the energy ones' stove would supply in turning it into the standard cooked vegetable meal.

  What is nice also to know that the nutrients are kept pretty much intact, something that won’t be likely if the food is cooked.

It is worth considering that the Nutribullet does one no favours in the manner above
- that 20,000 rpm motor they advertise has done it all for you. The slurry it produces requires little if any energy to move it along the gut.
