Do you believe THIS negative calorie food thing?? xox?
Hmm. I dont really believe it, but they're still great for you, so just eat them anyways =)
Reply:i eat apples, nectarines, oranges all the time and I always have lots of energy. Or maybe it's why im naturally slim. Either way fruits and veg are always good for your and processed food usually isn't. that's pretty much all I need to know.



;)
Reply:so called "negative calorie" diets or foods are based on personal opinion not on science. it is a proven and undisputed scientific fact that proteins have the greatest thermogenic effect, then carbohydrates then fats. so the body will expend more energy digesting 3 oz. of protein then it will 3 oz of any carbohydrate or 3 oz of fat. people with the genetic predisposition for obesity and/or easy weight gain do not have normally functioning metabolism. their bodies do not expend as much energy digesting foods. this is one of many reasons why some people continue to gain weight even on a reduced calorie diet.
Reply:Most of these are actually considered neutral calorie foods (ie you don't gain or loose anything by eating them)
Reply:Well, not to sure. An expert might no.
Reply:As a persons B.M.R. (the amount of energy intake required just to maintain essential bodily functions without physically doing anything) can be 2000 - 2500 Kcals, if you just ate these types of foods you would have to eat a vast quantity just to maintain body mass, add in work, if you walk say, 5 miles per day, you would need to consume the equivalent to around 70 apples per day, that is going some even for the North East area Apple eating champ!!
Reply:The only one I had heard of was celery - and I believe that was debunked!

Most of the other fruit %26amp; veg contain fruit sugars although I guess the offset may be enough to make up for that.



Most greens ARE calorie AND carb neutral so can be eaten on diets.



Not sure about frogs legs - never felt the complusion to try them!!!
Reply:If it were true and you only ate those foods for 3 months then you would starve to death. It is a myth. They say you burn more calories then you get eating them but that is included. If you ate only those foods you would not get fat since most of them are healthy. You already know that the bad foods are those made by man like bread, pasta, candy, ice cream, crackers etc. Add a lot of salt to any of the above and they are very fattening.



There are more diets than ever and more people dieting than ever and yet we have the fattest society ever. So a lot of these ideas about losing weight, make you fatter. Cutting calories, carbs and fats can cause you to have a weight problem for life. It is better to eat differently. See site below and learn why lean meat, black coffee and non-fat yogurt are so fattening. The people counting calories are the fat people.



Also salt has no calories but makes you fat. This also has the quickest weight loss possible. Eat good carbs, not bad carbs. Nourish your body thin, instead of starving your body fat. Eat foods made by nature

and avoid foods made by man which are designed to make you fat and very addicted to food. 5th link on "LINKS" page is BMI calculator to see if you are overweight.

Oldies... nice... I'll go for that... love them!

Kumquats are awful expensive here and not one tenth as delicious as persimmons... I was so happy recently when I saw my little tree full of flowers... gonna have some of my own this summer...

Ducks and geese are both beautiful, but geese are dangerous... you can even have them as watchers in your yard...Ducks then!



I did my homework, OK?

Aardvarks, a type of ant eater... yes, more useful than the bandicoots, a marsupial from Australia and around... rats! ugh...

Drew Carey, I didn′t remember him by name... interesting comediant.

Cary Grant, I remembered the minute I saw his picture and file... Long and troubled life... was named "the greatest movie star of all time'...Both interesting people... it beats me.

Now... Daisy Duke; from the Dukes of Hazzard... nice...I prefer Daisy duck though... more like myself... Quack!!!

Why do so many people have stupid questions?

i mean, honestly. people, why do you spend your days on end on this stupid site asking stupid questions. honestly, who really cares what kind of bread doesn't absorb water, or what the scientific name of mango is? they really should be playing pokemon, or eating kumquats.



get it right, get it right get it TIGHT.

Why do so many people have stupid questions?
Because There Are So Many People Willing To Answer Stupid Questions.........



there's a bread that doesn't absorb water? really????

what IS the scientific name of mango?

kumquats??????? would it be stupid of me to ask ..."What The Hell Are Kumquats?" should I make that my next question and can I find out their scientific name without sounding Stupid ??

Reply:Well...Its no so much that people cant find these answers on there own, its that they want to commute with other people. Yahoo answers is a fun way for people to ask those stupid questions to see who is the most intellectual and gives the most down to earth, or most reliable answer.



Personally that's not really why I'm here, I cant really sleep alot during the night, I work alot in the day and I sleep the rest and while I'm up I just get kind of lost in thought...Going here to help others who are lost the same way I get, well basically its a way to avoid my own fears in my head...Sad one might say, but anyway your entitled to your opinion, ill gracefully accept it if you think I'm a nosy ingrate for helping people out but I do it when I don't necessarily have anything else better to do than sulk so please understand where I'm coming from. Hope I helped you understand, later :).
Reply:I assume to some people their questions are not stupid. And, like children trying to make sense of the world, found this site and anonymously post the (possibly stupid) questions and others (possibly lonely souls like myself) help out to answer such/this question.

Do you think they should rename certain foods?

Certain foods just have an unappetizing name...(ie Kumquats, Yogurt, Succotash, Wheat Germ, etc) Personally I think I would eat more of them if they had better names I think. : D

Do you think they should rename certain foods?
Turnip, brussel sprouts, tofu, eggplant, parsnips (sounds painful), liver (actually, anything named for an organ), and my all time favourite (for sounding AND being disgusting)... HEAD CHEESE.



The proof IS in the pudding, and the medium is the message... names do matter. Have to say I agree!
Reply:Good question. Don't forget sour cream, sour kraut and Tofu.
Reply:Good point- I never thought of that
Reply:I agree with you, except about Yoghurt. I actually like that name.
Reply:changing their names wont change the way they taste.
Reply:You would eat more of them if they changed the names? The name doesn't affect the flavor, at least not where I'm from. I'm still trying to imagine the conversation:



"Would you like some more Wheat Germ?"

"No, it's delicious and I'd like to eat more, but I don't like the name."



I just can't see that happening.
Reply:Nah....turnips would still taste awful no matter what! Same thing with radishes and beets.....*shudder*....



I love succotash....now I'm hungry! ;)
Reply:Good thought. I've always disliked 'yogurt' as a word. And Wheat 'Germ' does make you wonder, doesn't it!? Also, having several acquaintances named Pamela, it kinda bothers me to spray 'pam' on my cooking pans before cooking!
Reply:When I was a kid, I would never eat rump roast.

What's the name of that tiny yellow fruit used to garnish desserts in restaurants?

A lot of my desserts in restaurants have recently been garnished with a tiny yellow fruit (quite bitter) which has beautiful transparent leaves. I think they're like unripe tomatoes and the seeds are similar. Somebody told me they're kumquats but I know they're not because I used to eat kumquats all the time in South America and they're not at all similar. Does anybody know the name of these strange fruits?

They are cape gooseberries, also known as physalis
Reply:Physalis. I actually bought a punnet of them from Asda last week - they're gorgeous!!
