Eating as a way to lose weight.

First off, rumor disclaimer: There are no such thing as "negative calorie" foods!
Which is a shame because I was going to fill my house with them!!!
However there are some foods that are low in calories but make you feel full due to high fiber content so you actually don't affect your calorie intake for the day when you eat them.
One such example is celery.
"Celery provides an excellent source of vitamin C and fiber.  It's a very good source of folic acid, potassium, and vitamins B1 and B6.  Celery also offers a good source of vitamin B2 and calcium.  Even though celery contains more sodium than most
other vegetables, the sodium is offset by it's high levels of potassium."

So if we add foods to our diet that can fill us up, while supplying our daily nutritional needs, we can change our "diet" without feeling hungry!
