Negitive calorie foods

Dafrog · October 2010

Just wanting some feedback on this topic. I have heard that foods like apple, carrots, lettuce, celery, broc.., etc are negitive calorie foods. Thusfore, it takes your body more entergy to digest them than the food provided.

I don't think that apples would qualify because of their high sugar content, but lettuce, carrots, and celery do have very few calories. I don't think that they are actually "negative calorie" foods, but they do make good low cal snacks!

I know celery is, but not sure about the others. might want to check your references.

hill, your link was hilarious! especially adding iceberg lettuce and cukes to celery. if it sounds too good to be true...

but the best part of your link was:

on the serious side for the original post, i would stick with a list of low glycemic fruits and vegetables and i also eat low carb. you still have to get out and exercise. There's no magic pill or bullet.

It would be nice if it was true, but it's not. Think of the danger if it was true. Too much negative-calorie food and you might self-combust like the drummer in Spinal Tap.
