What does it mean to use more calorie eating celery then there are in the celery?
when you eat something, that thing has calories. Your body uses calories throughout it's daily needs. it uses calories for the heart to keep pumping and everything. Let's say you have a hamburger that's 400 calories. Hamburgers are relatively easy to digest so (this is just a guess) it uses around 10 calories to digest. So basically your body is taking in 390 calories from that burger. Now, celery is very low cal. I believe a long stalk has like 5 calories. But, celery is hard for your body to digest so it uses 10 calories to digest it. So really, your body is taking in negative 5 calories
What vegetable causes you to lose calories?
A common belief has it that celery is so difficult for humans to digest, it's as if it has negative calories (human digestion burns more calories than can be extracted).
Is it true that celery has negative calories?
The common misconception is that celery contains "negative calories." All foods contain calories. The way you must look at it is how many calories does one stalk of celery contain, versus how many calories it takes to digest it. According to the nutrition data website, one 8 inch celery stalk contain about 6 calories. Many people believe you actually burn that off when chewing. Though celery does take a rather conscious effort to chew, chewing burns about the same amount as watching the grass grow. The calorie loss is going to be during the digestion of the celery. Celery is actually loaded with latent energy, but the plant's composition only allows us to metabolize a small amount. The latent energy is packed tightly in the form of cellulose; a complex sugar which humans are unable to metabolize. It's not that the celery is difficult to digest, but rather it provides fewer calories than what is needed to digest it--so the overall effect is "negative calories." Keep in mind, the amount of calories you lose is very minimal. This is not the miracle diet food. The amount of calories lost will probably be no more than 10-12 calories a day. The good thing is celery can quickly satiate your hunger, preventing you from eating other high-calorie foods.

How Does the Negative Calorie Diet Work?
The negative calorie diet is a way of eating that includes certain foods believed to have negative calories due to way we digest them. For example, because celery contains only a few calories per stalk, the energy required to chew and digest it is more than the food itself. However, it is only a supplement to another diet. You can not live on negative calorie foods like celery and carrots alone. Instead, eat them as "free" items when trying to lose weight on a restricted diet.
