Hi fiber diet... :-) Similar to what I do with the Greenwhich diet.
It's still low carb!
Then there is the whole concept of "negative calorie foods".
Digestion and metabolic processes DO burn calories, so foods that are
low in calories and high in fiber and water, (and are very filling) tend
to burn more calories to digest and process than they have in them.
Lettuce, Bok Choy, Cabbage (and related veggies) are good "bulk" fillers
for the tummy.
