Foods that are claimed to be negative in calories are mostly low-calorie fruits and vegetables such as grapefruit, lemon, lime, apple, lettuce, celery, broccoli and cabbage. Celery, a commonly cited negative calorie food, actually requires only about 10% of its food energy content to be digested (due to the thermic effect). Zero-calorie beverages, such as water, do take more than zero calories to process within the body.
Negative Calorie Veggies
If you want to get the most nutrition possible while still maintaining eating as few calories as possible, you may wish to add plenty of these negative calorie veggies to your diet. They include celery, cucumber, garlic, lettuce, green beans, spinach, zucchini, onion, radish, asparagus, cabbage, cauliflower, carrot and beet root.
Negative Calorie Fruits
Many fruits are also negative calorie foods while offering plenty of Vitamin C and other nutrients at the same time. Examples of these fruits include peach, pineapple, tomato, watermelon, cranberries, blueberries, apple, grapefruit, mango, orange, lemons, limes, papaya, cantaloupe, honeydew, raspberries, strawberries, tangerine and watermelon.
While this concept is popular in dieting guides, there is no scientific evidence that any of the foods claimed as negative calorie foods are such, but i think it is worth it to try them and incorporate them to our diets and see how it goes! (◡‿◡✿)
