Recently I have come to know that there are some particulars foods which are called negative calorie foods i.e. after consuming these foods more calories are burn for assimilating them than generated by consuming them, Is it true, or it is a fad?

It is true, but the effect is tiny and you could not actually subsist on these foods (in terms of obtaining a balance of vital nutrients). They are just the really watery vegetables (like cucumber or celery).

It's true, some foods take more energy to eat than the amount of calories they amount to. They're good if you swap fatty snacks for these instead-not much for meals though.

I heard that lean stock (chicken, beef or fish) is like that - it takes more energy to digest it, then gives you calories. PS Good question! I wanna look for more info about it. Whatever I find, I'll bring it here.
