i was just reading about negative calorie foods. Basically, fruits and veggies you can eat that have less calories than it takes for the body to digest them. Has anyone done this kind of diet? I am curious if this can really help.

    I think this was really big in the 90's... I remember there was a whole infomercial diet system based on this!!!

    I think these foods are good to add to your diet for fibre, to keep you full, and for some added vitamins, but I think that generally these foods do not contain the macronutrients that your body needs as fuel. I try to eat lots of celery, cumuber, raw peppers, etc and they pretty much are calorie free!!!

    Enjoy them!
