Negative Calorie DietThe Negative Calorie Diet Book "Foods That Cause You to Lose Weight: The Negative Calorie Effect" by Neal Barnard is based on the "negative calorie effect" theory that by eating negative calorie food, you can lose weight 
quickly and easily. In fact, this is a hugely controversial claim that the diet name is misleading, as there are no foods that actually contain "negative calories".
How Does The Diet Work?Although, there are no foods that contain "negative calories" as such, many foods contain very few calories and all foods require energy to eat and digest. This means that there are certain foods that require more energy to digest than they give, resulting in a net loss in calories - a negative calorie effect.For example, the diet suggests that eating a stick of celery (5 calories) will burn up 95 calories. This diet allows different specific foods, but they are all generally fibrous vegetables and fruits. 
List of negative calorie foods:
The diets claim that you can eat "all you want" of these selected fruits and vegetables and still achieve quick weight loss of up to two pounds daily. The book by Neal Barnard "Foods That Cause You to Lose Weight: The Negative Calorie Effect" is available on Amazon
What do the Experts Say?A generally accepted rate for healthy, sustainable weight loss is considerably slower - 1 to 1.5 pounds per week. Weight loss as drastic as 2 pounds daily would not be recommended to anyone who is not under the strict supervision of a physician. Any success that a person would have while following the diet would be due to low calorie meals intake. Also, depending on the version of the diet that you read about, it should be noted that a diet consisting only of fibrous fruits and vegetables is not healthy over an extended period of time, as it will not include enough protein or essential fats.
