Negative Calories

JBenny Posts: 7 Joined: 2004/07/09	2004/10/28, 04:42 PM I was browsing on Google and I came across a web site for negative calories. I haven't tried it yet, but it seems to have a rather intresting theory, that some foods can consume more calories in digestion than they themselves contain. My question would be if anyone on this board has tried the Negative Calorie diet, and if it works. I would really appreciate some feed back. Thanks. JBenny
