500 Questions
Why will a celery stalk put in saltwater begin to wilt?
In the Garden
Lettuce in the garden can wilt because of insufficient watering or due to root damage.
In the Refrigerator or in the Salad
Lettuce cells hold water, which makes it crisp. Picked lettuce will slowly wilt after picking as water leaves the plant cells.
Also most salad dressings contain salt or salt-based spices that change the
osmotic balance between the inside and outside of the lettuce cells. If the
dressing sits on the lettuce for too long before eating, the water will be drawn out.

Does celery make you lose calories?
Yes. Most people believe that you lose calories in chewing, but it's actually the digestion process that burns calories.
It is properly called a negative food. It does take more calories to eat AND digest it than it contains.
but still even if it does burn calories, burning calories isn't as good as eating it! :-) (i love it!)
Can you lose weight by eating celery?
Let's say one stalk of celery has about 40-60 calories, but it takes your body about 70-90 calories to process it through. If you do the math, it's about 20-30 negative calories. In order to lose one pound, you need to burn about 3000-3500 calories. So yes, if you eat nothing BUT celery you will lose weight. But if you eat few stalks a day without proper diet or exercise, it's not going to make any difference. You do the math how much celery you would need to eat in order to lose 1 pound.
