Thanks for the input on negative calorie foods. I'm going to do
some research on the side about this subject.

Have a good night!

Thanks Ian! I am interested in finding out if this is true. I think I could handle eating more of these foods if it is.

Did you find anything out about this? If it is true, I too will be eating more of these foods!!!

[Ian]

It seems that this is true. Plus it makes sense anyway considering
many vegetables like lettuce and celery are mostly composed of
water, but it takes energy (calories) to break the compounds such
as fiber down to absorbable substances.

Here's one of the any websites I found:

I am so happy that you found this is true! I can see about the veggies--but the fruit is a surprise. I thought with the natural sugars it wouldnt be. Thanks for checking on this and thanks for the link. :grin:
