People often ask me if it is really true that you lose more calories than you gain when you eat celery.

It turns out that yes, in a way, it is true. The logic in this thinking is that between the time of chewing the vegetable and the time of its elimination, it takes more energy to process celery than the amount of energy (calories) it contains. But the effect won’t be real until about a day later, when the celery’s nutrients and water have been absorbed, and its fiber eliminated from your body.
