So I keep hearing about these "negative" calories foods and from what I understand that means it takes more calories for you to eat the food then is actually in the food?? Is that right?? If so I ate some Starbursts last night and those take an awful lot of effort and energy to chew.... would they be a negative calorie food?! Thanks for your help everyone! :flowerforyou:

    That is what it means, but there's no such thing as negative calorie food. The ones that even approach zero calories are things like celery. Definitely not CANDY.

    I heard if you eat two at a time you burn double the calories from all the chewing. So really you can eat twice as many! Score!

    I believe the only negative calorie candy is Now Or Laters. Those things are tough. I through in two or three to do a superset.

    This only works if you run at a fast pace while chewing.

    The common misconception is that the foods themselves are negative calorie. What most don't realise is that they only become negative calorie with the addition of a quality syrup of ipecac supplement. You can get this at most health stores.

    I heard that the more you chew them, the more weight you lose.

    Insulting people is against the TOS. You have been warned.

    At first, I thought this was a serious thread. I was going to post a serious response. Then, I read the others and thought "No way, this deserves a...wait, are they for real? Starbursts?" I was SO consumed by the fact that I was like "People actually believe this..." and then realized...I feel gullible. Not about the starbursts, but the fact that I initially believed the responses are real...

    ...this is a silly thread, right? I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings... :wink:

    Yep sure, when you chew the starbursts they glue your teeth together and therefore you can eat no more! Perfect.
