Celery gives you negative calories???

Question

I know that when you eat celery you actually lose more calories than gain, so is it the same for cabbage???

Answer 1

the reason that you loose more calories is because of the energy that you have to use to chew it.
I don't think that you would use nearly as many when eating cabbage. Although it may depend on how it is prepared....
My answer is no

Answer 2

It takes more energy to burn the celery calories off. Yes it is the same for cabbage (especially raw cabbage).... I know this because I have studied the food calorie intake on just about all foods. I am also on a diet where I have to count calories in order to get to my ideal weight!!!

The link below is what I am using

Answer 3

The phrase "negative calories" seems to suggest that there are foods which possess no calories at all, or even "reverse calories". But the truth is that all food contains some energy (calories) as they include an amount of carbohydrate, protein or fats. "Negative" calories only means that some foods contain such little energy that the body uses more energy to digest and absorb the energy and nutrients. This means just from eating these foods there is potential for a net loss of calories from the body or a negative calorie balance, and this is required in order to lose weight.

Answer 4

According to a recent article in the "New York Times"' Science section, the idea of celery having negative calories is not true.

Answer 5

There is a common belief that celery is so difficult for humans to digest, that it has 'negative calories' because human digestion burns more calories than can be extracted. Snopes[1] believes this to be true, however at only 6kcal per rib, the effect is negligible. Celery is still valuable in diets, where it provides low-calorie fiber bulk.

Answer 6

that's not a destructive calory - there is not any such element. Celery, apples, beef, bread, beer, or any foodstuff has energy in it. the assumption approximately celeries is that it supposedly takes extra power to your physique to technique it than the foodstuff supplies. once you are attempting to shed extra pounds, eating in basic terms celery is an exceedingly undesirable theory. as a replace, devour a balanced, different weight-alleviation plan, drink sufficient water, stay away from snacks, and exercising extra.

Answer 7

I'm not sure if that's true, but I do know that the motion of chewing celery makes you lose calories. Kinda like a workout for your mouth.

Answer 8

I think you should research this somewhere other then here. If a person were to come up with something that was negative calories, he would be richer then The Queen of England. Jeanne Neiditch, founder of weight watchers, successfully debunked this myth many years ago. It still springs up now and then.

Answer 9

There are no calories in celery, but as you chew this stringy food, you actually burn calories, which means that it's negative calories, sort of.

Answer 10

The process of masticating, digesting and transporting glucose etc requires energy.

Maybe the food provides less than it produces, however it may provide vitamins and minerals that are needed to remain healthy and assist directly in the digestion and elimination process making the overall system more effecient and effective.
