The negative calorie effect....and banana walnut dressing

<p>So I learned today about the negative calorie effect in dr. Fuhrmans new book eat for health which im LOVING. Man alive I love this man im so thankful he is following his true calling in life because surely he was sent here for this. ANYWAY lol....so the negative calorie effect means that a vegetable you are consuming contains LESS calories than the amount required for the metabolic processes to digest that veggie. Like green vegetables.  So this means you can eat huge portions of these and still lose weight because your body has to burn excess fat to meet its basic metobilc needs to digest the bulk of the food you are eating! That is an amazing concept to me!  In all of his books he has been saying all along the salad is the main dish ...eat more salad eat more greens.....turns out that's why you actually can lose wieght by eating MORE......you film your stomach to the max with these nutrient dense low calorie foods....burn excess fat just to metabolize them....and cram more cancer/disease fighting nutrients into your body than you ever have before.  Im going to started fresh with this concept and more salads....my goal is going to be two a day....like he says...one before lunch and one before dinner .....but I gotta tell you I just ate my lunch salad and I couldn't possibly have anything in addition to it lol. I shredded up some romaine and baby kale ....strawberries oranges raisins shredded carrot and raw sunflower seeds.and sone lentils I had cooked...and made his banana walnut dressing and YUM YUM!

Here is the easy peazy recipe!
