Foods With "Negative Calories" by Jon Herring

If one of your goals is to lose weight and reduce your percentage of body fat, you will have to learn to manage your hunger while consuming fewer calories. Eating smaller, more frequent meals will certainly help.

You should also load up on foods that satisfy your cravings without adding calories. In fact, some foods require more caloric energy to digest than the food actually contains. These foods will make your stomach feel full, while adding almost no calories to your diet.

Unfortunately potato chips and birthday cake aren't on the list. "Negative-calorie" foods include cabbage, celery, leafy greens, mushrooms, onions, peppers, and most other vegetables.

in the last year i have had so much weight just fall off, through no plan. i went to squad meeting one day and one guy said i looked like barney fife, my gunbelt was down to my butt. he took it away from me and adjusted it. i had to go to purchasing and get all new uniforms. but i bet i gain the weight back! ACK!.

I was told eating a stick of celery burned more calories because its quite hard to digest

Funny, interesting and a probable possibility.

yeah...I have always heard that about celery...but not so much the others. who eats just celery anyway? I need some wing sauce or peanut butter!
