Answer 2

calories are units of energy. if a food has zero calories, that would mean that it doesn't provide your body with any energy. for a food to be a "negative calorie" food, it would have to take away energy instead of providing you with it.

I assume that water is probably a zero calorie food.

Laxatives might be "negative calorie" foods. But then again, it's probably not too accurate to call them "foods".

Also, I will paste a quote from the link provided by the second poster:
"Are there really such things as negative calorie foods?

The idea that certain foods could take more energy to digest them than they actually provide in and of themselves certainly took the diet industry by storm. The notion that you could eat from a list of "wonder foods" and not only not put on weight but help counteract some of the calories contained in the rest of your diet certainly has an instant appeal.

The sad fact is, however, that all foods contain calories. Some, not that many. However the body has one thing which actively works against you. It's the most efficient engine known to man. The calories delivered by even the lightest foods render many times more energy than is required to digest them.
There is one negative calorie food

To truly use more energy than a food provides, you'd in fact have to be eating cardboard. 100% cellulose. And seeing that we humans lack the enzymes to break it down (as opposed to cows that can happily live on it), it would render zero calories. The process of moving the cardboard through the body would take a small but measurable amount of energy. The result? A true negative calorie food. Naturally, it's one we'd never recommend you use."

Answer 3

Celery is great because you actually burn more calories chewing it than are in the celery itself, thus "negative" calories. Cold water, hot teas, nix the sugar are good too. The cold/heat cause your body to kick into gear and burn calories as it regulates your body temperature. Celery is great for snacking and helps you avoid junk food on those afternoon breaks. Put a touch of peanut butter for a little protein. Not too much though, since it's high in fat.

Answer 4

Apples. People like apples a lot because it's also rather filling.

* Asparagus
* Watermelon (but it is a bit high in sugar, so it will likely spike the blood sugar a little)
* Pineapple
* Grape Fruit
* Papaya
