In a negative calorie diet, dieters are to eat and drink food products that are nutritous but are said to have a negative caloric effect; that is, they provide fewer food calories than the calories needed to digest them. There is, however, no such thing as a negative calorie food. The "negative calorie" foods allowed in this diet are mainly vegetables and fruits. including:

• Apples
• Asparagus
• Beets
• Blueberries
• Broccoli
• Green Cabbage
• Cantaloupes
• Carrots
• Cauliflower
• Celery
• Cranberries
  

This diet is criticized as being not a very realistic one. Opponents argue that these foods may be healthy, but the only way to get rid of calories is to use up more than you eat - a diet along with exercise is a way to see faster results. You should talk to your doctor to find a diet that is right for you.
