Negative calorie FOODS! For those of you not aware. :)

I actually agree that negative calorie foods (ie foods that take more calories to digest than they contain) but it doesn't actually affect you at all if you are counting calories since the goals already include calories for usual bodily processes such as digestion, therefore you would still log the calories.

If I have negative thoughts about negative calorie foods, doesn't that make it positive?

Well, two negatives do make a right. Just drink some chemical H2O with it and you should be fine.

I read this post with my fingers and toes crossed that it might be true.... :sad:

Am pleased to see some great humour here though - well done guys :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Just read this article and I am wondering if anyone has really cooked dandelions, and how did they turn out?

I've had them raw in salad and cooked with other veggies. Not bad.

My two favorite sentences form the website:

"While there is no scientific evidence that this is true, it is theoretically possible that this phenomenon can exist."

"If you believe this theory, then you can consume these foods without feeling guilty."

And if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle.

I love that so many of you are skeptical. It's important. There is a metric ton of bad health advice out there. Trust reputable sources only. And if anyone tells you "But Dr. Oz says..." just smack them in the mouth.

How about anti-calories? From a matter/anti-matter generator?

When anti-calories come in contact with calories they are annihilated. Win-win situation. Just eat equal amounts of calories and anti-calories and you'll have a net of zero.

I am tired of this myth floating around! Its not true!!! No such thing as negative calorie foods!!! Learn to use the internet folks!! wikis can be altered by almost anyone and are not deemed quotable sources!! OMG...people are dumb!

Calling people dumb is not allowed in the forums. A more apt description would be that people are struggling and/or desperate.

I believe that calling an INDIVIDUAL person dumb would be against forum rules, however making a general opinionated statement that PEOPLE (in general) are dumb is not only completley allowed but should be encouraged. Enough with censorship!!! Bring back our right to free speech!!

(Completley off subject I know but had to get my two cents in. We still need police to police the police.)

Do they have negative calorie stuffed crust pizza?

Wouldn't that be awesome!!

So do you eat the actual flower or the stem? The recipes I found say the "green"...

The green -- the leaves.
