The negative calorie theory is simply that if you eat certain foods, they will take MORE energy to digest than they have in them. You get the benefit of the nutrients and none of the calories.

Any of the cruciferous veggies are in this category. These include cabbages, brussel sprouts and broccoli. Especially if you eat these veggies raw, you will get also the plentiful fiber that will up the negative calorie process. Go easy the first couple of days as the fiber of these veggies will have you running to the loo often. Also, be certain you WASH these veggies thoroughly especially if you want to eat them raw. Wash them in a sinkful of lukewarm water with 3 tablespoons bleach and 1 teaspoon water. Be certain all of the surfaces of these veggies are completely soaked by this water mixtures and make sure all the dirts and residues are gone. Rinse thoroughly under cold, running water. You may truly want to microwave them thereafter for 3 minutes' time to be certain any remaining bugs (there probably WON'T be any left) are decimated. These veggies are wonderful, full of nutrients and have truly negative calories. A caveat: please don't go running for that ice cream or other full fat treat after you eat these veggies. A sensible diet...best to be a vegan anyway, is the best accompaniment to negative veggies' excellent health qualities!

It is important to remember that there is NO SUCH THING as a food that has no calories. What they are talking about when they refer to "negative calorie foods" is that some foods have very few calories, and it takes more energy to digest them than the amount of calories (energy) that is in the food itself. So the NET EFFECT is that you've lost energy, not gained it, by eating that food, hence the term "negative calories."

There are very few things that have so few calories that it takes more energy to digest them than what you'll get out of them. What you're looking for is things that have a low sugar and a low fat content. Green leafy vegetables, in general, would qualify as "negative calorie foods,"

Answer 5

Lettuce, pickles, broccoli, carrots, watermelon, honeydew, and cantalope are my faves.
Potatoes, beans, corn, olives, and avacado are NOT negative calorie foods due to the high amounts of starch and/or fats (olives and avacodo have fats).
Pretty much any fruits/veggies not containing high starch or fat contents are negative calorie foods because your body uses more calories digesting the food as opposed to what the actual caloric intake is.

Answer 6

Regarding celery... this was brought up at a weight watcher's meeting a few weeks back.

You don't gain normal weight by eating celery, it is a negative calorie food. HOWEVER, it is FULL of sodium, so you will gain lots of water weight. If you have to get weighed soon, don't eat celery unless you like taking diuretics or can drink enough water to flush out the sodium.

Want proof celery is full of sodium? Think of this; what do you do when it gets limp? You put it in a container full of water and it'll soak up the water to get crisp, right?

Answer 7

water, and thats about as close to a "negative calorie food" as you can get.
