Newsflash: Fruit and vegetables have calories.
Oh, and you can put anything in a smoothie.
FALSE!!!!
Apparently, according to my MSN front page, SOME Fruits and veggies have NEGATIVE cals. So according to the article you can eat tonnes of it and it will actually take calories away from the burger lol
hahaha made me lol
there are no fruits or veggies that have negative calories. all food except water has calories. look it up and do some research and you will see.
I thought he was joking

There's woo "research" that states there are negative calorie foods......i would say he was being facetious because of woo believers on here.0 -
You'll fill up more eating whole fruit and veg, smoothies are liquid calories, this means it won't make you feel as satisfied as the fruit in its most natural state. High carb Hannah has a good video explaining why whole foods are better then blended
hope this helps 0 -
The negative calories theory is an old one where it was stated that you burn more calories chewing celery than the number of calories in the celery - hence negative calories.0

The calories... Count and see how many you get with just them!
I would counter that no matter what you will lose weight when you are in a deficit... However you WILL almost certain eat up lean body mass, AKA muscle.0 -

Yeah, that was me. Unfortunately I've been hanging out on sugar threads and the debate forum, so my snark meter is broken into a million pieces.0 -

In weight watchers you can have endless fruits and vegetables (not the starchy ones) and you don't have to count them. I follow that rule of thumb when counting calories....I set my daily calories lower and consider the fruits and veggies as "free" it seems to work....as for smoothie absolutely not, those I count due to all the added ingredients. Lets face it I didn't become overweight by gorging out on fruits and veggies therefore until I find them as a "problem" I will continue. Everyone person is different and their bodies react to certain food differently. I say listen to your body and keep a close journal on days you don't count and days you do count as to how hungry you are and how you feel. Worth a shot!!! 0

Fruit is high calorie?! A cup of watermelon is 47 calories. A cup of blackberries is 85 calories and etc...
Uh, yeah - the Fuji apples I got from H-Mart were 400 to 450 grams a piece - that's more than 200 calories per fruit. The bananas were about 150 grams per piece without the skin - that's just under 150 calories per fruit. Depending on how much fruit eaten it can add up.
Can you lose weight on smoothies? Yeah. Unlimited because "they're low calories"? Nah.1 -

People on Weight Watchers who truly believe that eating unlimited fruits and vegetables has no bearing on their weight
Yeah they do, and yes it does.
I believe Weight watchers keep their calorie allotment on the too lower side to account for the calories in the "free fruit and veg"
Yes. My previous job had weight watchers come in, I was thinking to drop 5lb or so, and used the calculator. I am 5'9" and worked out 1 hour each day, was trying to get from 140 down to 130 or 135 post baby 4.
(for reference Iam maintaining 135 or so on 2,000 to 2,400 now, ten years later)
Weight watchers calculation said eat 1,300 calories a day total plus 100/week plus any apples, cucumbers, there was a list of "free" foods, things that were low calorie and high fiber. It seemed to be weight x10, basically. I couldn't do it because it really wasn't enough food, but it worked really well for heavier people in the office. Partly because it was a community effort, there was support. Very low calories though.0 -
skip the smoothie and eat apples0
