THANKS.

The question that was posed to me was:
"Does it take MORE energy to break-down certain
foods vs. others? There are only three answers:
yes, no, or the same.

If the answer is yes, then the next question
would be "how much energy does it take per specific food"?
That's the chart(s) that I want to see.

If celery or apples, etc. make you "feel" full, and at the same
time provide only a minimal net calorie gain, then is this not
a good supplement to a balanced diet?

Did you read any of the other replies? There isn't a more complete list
because they are a myth.

"The Catabolic Diet is another example of slick marketing. One of the ways
nutrition fraud survives is through creativity. People are always looking
for something new to help with weight reduction, especially when the
latest
weight loss craze doesn't work and no longer is appealing. Like all weight
loss gimmicks, The Catabolic Diet takes the physiological fact that the
body
requires energy (calories) to digest food and builds a falsehood around
it.
The digestive process is very complex and well regulated. It is a myth
that
foods have negative calories. If the previous examples were true, weight
loss would happen by eating rice cakes all day, regardless of how many
were
eaten. Apples, celery, cauliflower, and other low calorie foods have
nothing
magical about them. People lose weight in two ways: they are taking in
less
food than their body requires and/or they are expending more calories than
they are taking in."

If anyone has a link to where I can get a reasonably complete list
of :

Negative Calorie Foods
and/or
Fat Burning Foods

please email me, or post the URL in here.

If I'm going to try & lose 20 pounds, I might as well
choose foods that are harder to digest & fill you up a bit

THANKS,
