I am a former chef professionally trained in the military with 28 years of experience, so naturally you will want me to chime in here. Most people are very grateful when I, a former chef professionally trained in the military with 28 years of experience, step in and de-mystify things for them. That's what we former chefs professionally trained in the military with 28 years of experience do.

Celery is by itself a natural diet food. Eaten raw, one burns more calories than she takes in. There is the problem. The bulk of the celery alone seems not to satisfy most, so they use peanut butter and other things to dress up the stalk and then the celery becomes white bread -- a device to deliver foods with calories. Take care what you eat it with and it is truly one of nature's good-for-you foods.

I always add celery to soup when I make it. It adds sooo much flavor. It is low in calories and you can eat as much as you want. However, if you eat too much, you might get a stomach ache.
Cream cheese adds a lot of calories and little extra nutrition. People add it because it makes the celery taste better.

Answer 4

Pretty good and it's one of the "free" foods. You can eat all you want. If you don't like it raw, make a soup of tomatoes or tomato juice, celery, onion, green pepper, cabbage and add Lee&Perins Worchestershire sauce and just a bit of kosher salt or sea salt for taste. You can add a hot chili pepper if you like it spicey. All of these items are "free" and good for your heart! (If you can't stand celery, leave the celery whole and when the soup is done, toss the celery. The flavor is great!)

Answer 5

Quite good for you and your digestive system, as it has a lot of fiber as well........

Now to your question with the Philly cheese on it......um, the cheese adds a LOT of fat (unless you use the Neufchatel 1/3 less fat (1/3 less taste, too)

You might want to consider a low fat/calorie Ranch dip to go with your celery snack.....


Now, if they only made fat/carb free Krispy Kreme doughnuts.........

Celery is full of nutrients and to top it off it is good if you are trying to loose weight as it takes more calories to digest than you get from it.
