Its where you eat foods that supposedly takemore calories to digest than there are in them. Celery is one example of a negative calorie food, if you do a search for it on the web you will come up with many hits on it.

cabbage is another. thats the basest for the Cabbage soup diet..and the Weight Watchers zero point soup..Both burn more calories based on enegery it takes to eat it then what is in it.

It's not. The premise really is that it takes about 50 calories BURNED to eat the soup and the soup is less then 10 calories a bowl, so the more you eat, the more calories you burn. I've eaten the soup..Its good to eat as a light lunch, but its not a long term diet or anything.
