Negative Calorie Foods
Okay, so what's negative calorie foods? How can a food be a negative calorie? Yes, I know you're looking at me a little odd at the moment, but let me explain why some foods are negative calories. All food has calories, that goes without say, so saying these foods are negative calorie sounds impossible, right? Well, these are foods that take up more caloric energy to digest then the calories that are in them. Your body has to expend energy in order to digest and absorb foods, in fact, 10% of your daily caloric intake is used to process foods in your body. So these "negative" calorie foods are foods that take more calories to digest then actual calories in the item of food. Here is a brief list of negative calorie foods. You can basically eat these items in any quantity you want during the day...remember though, this is for the raw version of the food, adding butter, etc, to any of these things will eliminate the negative calorie effect.

I eat alot of strawberries and pineapple and I still have no problem dropping body fat either. I was concerned with all of the sugar in the fruit...

Problem with fruit sugar (fructose) is the body's use of it. It is used to refill liver glycogen and then it is stored as fat, so to much fruit is bad. And at 70+ calories for and apple/orange I doubt it is a negative calorie food.

As far as cal negative, I thought only celery fit that description...

Who cares anyways? You should eat them for nutrients and fiber, not nescessarily cal content.. all have minimal cals... heck, I probably burned off the 35 cals that are in a serving of most any veg in 5 minutes of sitting and typing LOL
