I’ve been scheming to take the full advantage of my recently shrunken stomach since I can feel it’s already expanding, now that I’m eating normally. For years, I have seen on TV and read articles either online or in magazines about foods with negative calories. In other words, foods that make you burn more calories than they contain when your body tries to digest. So far I have found the following food items to contain negative caloric values.
| Vegetables | Fruits |
|---|---|
| Asparagus Beet root Broccoli Cabbage Carrot Cauliflower Celery Chicory Hot chili pepper Cucumber Garden cress Garlic Green beans Lettuce Onion Radish Spinach Turnip Zucchini |
Apple Apricot Blueberry Cantaloupe Cranberry Grapefruit Honeydew Lemon Lime Mango Orange Papaya Peach Pineapple Raspberry Strawberry Tomato Tangerine Watermelon |
I somehow remembered apple being one of them so I’ve been eating an apple a day. And I have decided that from now on I will;
- eat chips always with spicy salsa (tomato, hot chili pepper, onion and garlic)
- always have pickles (cucumber) with my sandwich from cafeteria
- ask for lettuce, tomato and onion in my sandwich even though I don’t like tomato in sandwiches
- always put either strawberries, blueberries, raspberries or peaches in my cereal
- ask for more lemon wedges with my fish and squeeze them on the fish liberally
That’s all for now, short of eating these dreadful vegetables (I generally despise vegetables) and fruits by themselves. I thought eating lemon sorbet or apple pie or peach cobbler often was pushing it.

Thanks for the list and the examples of what you are doing. I myself have moved the couch further away from the fridge so now I’m getting more exercise even if I don’t eat right.
Bahahahaha!!!!!
I think it’s a great start to eating healthier
but everything I’ve read has shown that there is no such thing as negative caloric food. There are foods with little or no calories, but you don’t burn more than they have in them by eating them
Yoona! You are going to start eating vegetables!?!
Crap! Now I might really have to diet to! We’ll do it together…..
XOXO
Holy mother of smilies!
Oh yeah, I originally commented to say that I had raspberries for lunch.
I thought only celery had negative calories.
I’m liking the smileys!
OMG LOOK AT ALL THE SMILEYS!!!!
I think you’re right EOI that celery is the only one.
And if anybody didn’t notice, except topsurf, what I’m doing with those food is just a joke!
I want to know where potato chips are on this list!!!
And Beer 
and after I’ve had those, I can do 
and 
if Topsurf is around. And maybe this 
if the Jew shows up! But mostly 
because your blog makes me want to 
Love it Yoonie!!
I JUST saw your “What I’m Reading” sidebar thing, and I just HAD to say that I slept with that book for a whole semester and did a 20 page book analysis on it. I don’t know why it always surprises me that people read it, it’s a great book, just since there’s a movie, but it does! =p
What? You didn’t like it? I didn’t know the movie Simon Birch was based on (loosely) this book when I started reading it, but just reading a few pages was like… err… what? I KNOW this story!!!
But then the movie deviated from the book at about 1/3 of the way. I do think the diatribe about school and government politics and history can be a little tedious though. I’m about two-thirds of the way through it and I kinda like it.
Make a smoothie.
I know that cabbage has negative calories, so celery isn’t the only one.
