That’s right! I was doing some research online with low fat information searches and calorie burning and I came across about 50 sites (found in the search.. so I know it’s not just one person’s “assumption”) talking about negative calorie food. What is it you may ask? In a nutshell, the negative calorie food is low fat food (pretty much vegetables and fruit from what I’ve found) that makes you burn more calories digesting it than the amount of calories you get from eating it! So, in a whole, you burn more calories than you eat. We all know vegetables are healthy, but I’d never worked out quite why (I’m not talking about the low fat values and low carbohydrates they have). Here’s a list of some of the vegetables and fruits I found that have the ability to burn more calories digesting than ingested.

asparagus
broccoli
carrot
cauliflower
hot chili peppers
cucumber
garlic
green beans
zucchini
apple
cranberries
grapefruit (also good to increase metabolism)
orange
pineapple
raspberries
strawberries
lettuce
onion
spinach

Just looking at the list, you know that these fruits and vegetables are healthy anyway - now there’s another reason! If you eat these, it will help you to lose weight. It’s pretty much a given… provided you’re not eating all the other nasty things out there on top of it thinking it will balance out.
