Forget all

Jut forget all this nuisance and what calories you absorb - think before 200 years when no such things were existing. People used to eat anything and thats all always balanced - if you eat all food in balanced way, there is no need to read these things. This is only new business of nutritionist.

Mango is one of the most calorie-dense fruits. Beetroot and carrots too are not low-cal. If they are neg calorie food why do doctors advise diabetics to avoid these?

I don't know about negative calorie. I am also not expert on nutrition. But after going through all the vegetables and fruits in the list one thing is sure if these from list replace our staple food like rice, wheat, non-veg, potato etc to some proportion they can do great job to digestive system and health.

Rubbish!

"Negative Calorie Food" is nothing but a MYTH! It is surprising that such quackery article is published in rediff. Any self-styled nutritionist who talks about "negative calorie food" should be reported for unfair practices. By the way celery requires 10% of its caloric content to be digested and the 90 % is used by the body. I urge readers to read more about this Urban Myth from reputable sources and report these quacks.

You should never say
'Rubbish' to any thing
till you have ingested it.

After wards your body
decides how much of it
your body wants to use
and how much to allow
you to expell as rubbish.

Right Rishant, it's become a fad now on the lines of US. Each guy or gal does some so-called Research, publishes a so-called Exhaustive Book, catches some Paid Media (Paper, Channel, Site etc) & craftily becomes an (Hyped) Authority. Once established, who cares? Tomorrow, if some fool tries out this 'Unique n Researched' thing of theirs & falls ill, are they going to take the responsibility, my dear Shake Hasina?

Will a person die soon if only these foods are eaten!?

Even I am not convinced about the negative calorie foods or the article which states that foods contain less calories than what is required to digest them!. Then kindly tell me whether a person will become skinny and die soon if he eats only these low calorie foods because as per the definition every time you eat these foods body looses more calories than it gets and no energy will be left in the body!? I strongly believe that this will never happen.

mango, apple, orange have about 70-10 calories per fruit depending on size. Being a physiological food they are easiest to digest to obtain the calories.

That being the case, how can u classify them as negative calorie food
