Negative Calorie Foods and Binging
 

If a food has "negative calories" (see
www.healthrecipes.com/negative_calories_list.htm), does it mean you can eat it
until you're stuffed (even unconfortably stuffed) and not gain any weight, or
does the food lose its negative properties after a certain point?

I'm not sure I believe those food are all negative. I once heard in a trivia
quiz that celery is the only neg cal food - that I could believe.

No way carrots are, and no way most of those fruits are.

Well looking at the list, I think you could pretty much eat as much as you
would want to eat and still lose weight... but that's been the thinking on
fruit and veg for years. Foods don't need to be negative calorie to lose
weight, just low calorie. Digesting all those fruit and veg would fill you
up and indeed burn off a few extra, and be good for your digestive system.
I'd imagine you'd have a fairly easy and productive morning on the toilet
the day after as well!

the way it works is: the more of it you eat, the fewer calories it has.
so be sure to eat a lot, mmmkay?

There is no such thing as a negative calorie food, teh calculation
with food energy units is kilo calories not the calories they take
about inphysics to raise the temperature of water 1°. The foods they
list are low calorie and have usually a high water content.

Agreed. Although you could chomp on all the ice you want and not ingest any
calories.
