Let Us Eat Lettuce

I was watching a show about health and fitness when I heard a surprising fact. Did you know that lettuce was a negative calorie food? Me neither. What exactly is a negative calorie food? Well, lettuce has a very small amount of calories per serving but it takes more calories to chew and digest the lettuce than the lettuce actually has making lettuce a negative calorie food. But before you get excited and think you have found some miracle food that burns more calories than it uses, keep in mind the deficit is very small. Be careful when you eat the lettuce though because y0u can make a salad high calorie by piling on the toppings and dressing.

Another benefit of lettuce is that it is a natural diuretic which comes in handy when you are trying to lose weight. So whatever you do, don’t skip the salad. Let us eat lettuce!
