Maybe there are Negative Calorie Foods

More reason to eat your fruits and veggies: the negative calorie theory.

"Scientific research" has found over 100 foods that supposedly require the body to burn more calories processing them through the digestive system than the actual caloric content of the foods themselves.


Some supposed negative calorie foods:

* Asparagus, beets, broccoli
* Cabbage, carrots, cauliflower
* Celery, chicory, chili peppers
* Cucumber, dandelion, endive
* Watercress, garlic, green beans
* Lettuce, radishes, spinach
* Turnip, tomato, zucchini

* Apple, blueberry, cantaloupe
* Cranberry, grapefruit
* Honeydew melon
* Lemon, orange, peach
* Pineapple, raspberry
* Strawberry, watermelon



As usual, someone is packaging this info as a "diet", calling it the Negative Calorie Diet. Perhaps this will replace Atkins as the latest quick fix.

All I can say, is, your mama told you to eat your fruits and veggies, and here is more reason to do so. You don't need a book to tell you that.
