Is it true that you lose calories eating celeri?

I heard that as a rumor, and I wanted to know if it was true.Is it true that you lose calories eating celeri?
You have to burn 3500 calories to lose ONE pound of fat.





If you spend all day eating celery, you might burn 5. It's technically true, but certainly won't make any sort of difference for your body.Is it true that you lose calories eating celeri?
no it's total bullshit. I used to believe it too but it's garbage.
Yes. The process of chewing and digesting the celery actually uses more calories than the celery contains. Also, celery is mostly water. Although, I would think you would be more interested in cucumbers.
well yes...kinda...


what i think you heard was its burns more calories to eat celery then celery actually contains
Well technically this is true. Celery does contain far more calories then what is burned during digestion BUT... during the digestion process far less calories are found useful by the human body and are discarded as waste, human digestion consumes a good deal of calories and when contrasted to the amount of actual absorbed calories from celery, the digestion is far more then consumption. This of coarse doesn't mean you should go on a strict celery diet in order to lose weight.
No, it's a urban myth.
