Catabolics are:
A list of foods that burn up more calories through digesting than their caloric value at consumption.
Example: A raw carrot many be 25 when you eat it, but the body will burn 75 calories digesting it leaving you with a negative balance of -50 calories.
Catabolics as a whole are IMPOSSIBLE to gain weight with by themselves. The trick is utilizing them enough times a day while enjoying other foods that will assist your diet because generally a person can't live off of catabolics alone. They are boring and there's only so much you can do with them with adding rich dressings and other sauces that ruin their affect in their best value for dietary purposes. You will have to find protein sources in larger quanities outside the catabolic group but the catabolic family offers lots of nutrition and vitamins. Everything on the list is good for you, it's just a matter of selecting what you like and putting them in your plan.
