What are your favorite "zero" calorie foods?

I will have to look it up, but I know there was a study based on the thermogenics of hot peppers and how they could be a negative calories, but again the problem is we have really no true way of detection throughout the entire process. Far to many variables. If you are nervous or relaxed will vary in calories burned on a macro level and would play into trying to determine the effects. That said If anyone finds a Zero Calorie Pizza that tastes exactly like a Pizza Hut Pan Pizza let me know.
One of my three Genie wishes is to have pizza not only have no calories, but instead each slice burn 400 calories.
I'm in favor of this plan.0 -

I found a seasoning mix in our local Amish community that combines sea salt, black & pink peppercorns and garlic! So good!
I live in an Amish community too and they call this "Happy Salt".

That's completely debunked. There are no negative calorie foods, that's a myth that has been dead for decades but keeps getting resurrected.

Have you looked at the so-called negative calorie foods list? There are fruits on there.........um yeah, like fruit is going to be negative calorie (I wish).0 -
You can get vanilla diet coke? Where?0

But would it taste good?! My current diet plan is subbing whisky for beer (usually around 200-300 calories each because I like IPAs and imperial stouts). Close enough to low calorie for me. :laugh:asflatasapancake wrote: »How bout zero calorie whiskey? Anyone? A girl can dream, can't she?

That's all she'd be doing - girls can't drink whiskey without sounding like an alchee, so.... Vodka and Diet Coke?

Spices, fancy tea (without milk/sugar) and carbonated water infused with fruit (lemon, strawberries etc). I never consider anything "zero calories" but damn, they come pretty close!0

F that. I'll take being classified as an alchee if it means I can keep the 7 whiskys (and 1 whiskey) I already have. Of course, when I head to Scotland next year, I'm stocking up. Nevermind the new distillery that opened a mile down the road.0 -
Celery sprinkled with salt and black pepper is one of my favourites0

Please, no. I'd waste away.0 -

Like I said previously this is more an observation than a study. Its just not broad enough.ceoverturf wrote: »Alatariel75 wrote: »Can't be bothered reading full thread bit in case anyone has already written this then apologies.

Really !! I suggest you research thisAlatariel75 wrote: »Can't be bothered reading full thread bit in case anyone has already written this then apologies.

Really !! I suggest you research this and come back
please enlighten us as to how a food would contain negative calories..?
A food doesn't contain negative calories... a particular food may contain say 20 calories as an example ... the body has to break this down using energy... this may take 25 calories of energy to do so.... is that simple enough or perhaps a picture is needed...
You may want to do some more research, starting with the link that peachycarol posted.
How interesting..... What a broad selection of the population for coming to these obviously conclusive results.. A whole 15 females all with certain height and weight parameters. I mean this must be fact. ha ha ha. To come to any sort of conclusion in any study on the way we as humans burn calories then surely a large spectrum of people must be tested ?? Would you not agree ?? Do think that I that that I would burn of 100g of celery at the same rate as someone half my size ??? Clearly not. This 'study' is simply an observation on a select group. Do you seriously think this is undeniable and conclusive evidence ??
Not really worth funding a study for this. I am surprised that somebody actually paid for the one that peachycarol linked. Let's say you find some outlier subset of the population that has negative 1 calorie response to eating a pound of celery. How would that knowledge be beneficial at all?
It's just not not in depth enough to settle the argument. ..granted all food has calories. .that's a given.. the question is does it take more to burn than it provides .... as we are all different you just can't give a substantial enough answer.
Well so far the studies posted are 1 against; 0 for.0 -

You are making an assertion, but you've posted no proof. Go to Google Scholar and try to find something to back up your claims. That's how this works.

I'm in love with Mio. I love my water, but sometimes I crave flavor, so I just grab some strawberry and squirt it on in there. It taste just like Kool-Aid to me
Also, Spark. It's like 45 calories a scoop, but the strawberry mango is soooo sweet, and actually keeps me focused. 0 -
Coffee & vanilla coke zero are my go-to zero calorie items. For low calorie foods, I'm a little obsessed with PB2 and 50 calorie string cheese.0
