Let's get something straight here. Negative calorie foods DO exist. Lettuce is an example. You use more calories to digest it than the lettuce has itself. So technically you'd be burning calories, more calories than what you took, but it isn't enough to consider it a way of achieving weight loss.

Your body uses a fraction of its calories consumed for digestion... there is actually no such thing as "negative calorie foods". Though some foods take more calories to digest than they contain, it's only if those calories have existed elsewhere in your diet to be burned.

There is not such thing as a negative calorie food. That is what we call "exercise". It's where you get up and move around at a rate which makes your heart beat faster than usual. This causes calories to be lost.

It's a myth. you can burn about 2 calories by eating 1 stalk of celery. Celery has about 7 calories. You burn about 9 or 10 chewing and digesting it. You need to burn about 3500 calories just to lose one pound. Are you really going to eat 1750 stalks of celery.

I think that is a myth. All food has calories.

no such thing. you burn so few calories digesting that you always consume more calories eating than you do plain old digesting.
exercise and eat healthy foods, in healthy proportions
