How can cabbage create negative calories?

Answer 1

For any food to have "negative" calories, eating and digesting it would have to consume more calories than the food provides, resulting in a net "negative" number. While this is claimed for low calorie foods such as cabbage, celery, lemon, lime, grapefruit- that is not true- they all have positive calories- but very few of them.

Answer 2

Although cabbage is a healthful low calorie vegetable, many people have come to associate it with weight loss because of the popular "cabbage soup diet." Creative marketing has led people to believe that cabbage actually burns body fat.

Answer 3

DOES CABBAGE HAVE NEGATIVE CALORIES

I'm sorry to disappoint you but all foods have calories.

"Negative calories" is simply terminology that some people use when they claim that one burns more calories digesting a particular food than the calories contained in that food. In reality, it does not really work like that.

If only it were so simple, nobody would need to be overweight!
