Summary
Negative calorie foods, said to take more calories to digest than they provide to the body in energy, are a good way to lose weight without being hungry. A good diet including all major food groups, including negative calorie foods, makes dieting easier, but it's important to think about nutrition while losing weight.
A sample diet might include skim milk and yogurt, salads or boiled vegetables, whole-wheat breads and tortillas, whole grain cereals and rice, kidney beans, lentils, chick peas, lightly cooked green vegetables, desserts with minimal sugar, and lean meat. Negative calorie food diets can be tailored for rapid weight loss or for a steady, gradual weight loss.

Details
Negative calorie foods are said to use more calories to digest than the calorie content of the foods themselves, resulting in a negative calorie balance.
It is therefore natural to consider a diet containing these foods for weight loss.
A diet is a combination of a balanced selection of foods designed for medical or nutritional reasons.
A good diet should include all major food groups.
The weight loss diets (with or without negative calorie foods) are made to reduce body fat and weight.
Following is a sample daily diet plan that is good for keeping healthy weight and good health, irrespective of whether you follow a diet plan with negative calorie foods or not.
- Skim milk and skim yogurt.
- Salads or boiled vegetables or vegetable soup as starter.
- Whole-wheat bread/tortila, whole grain cereal and rice.
- Whole grains like kidney beans, chick peas and lentils.
If you had bread for lunch then have rice for dinner.
If you are meat eater, choose from a lean variety and restrict to one serving in a day.
The fast weight loss diet that can lower the weight up to two pounds per day, is not recommended for long term.
The gradual weight loss diet can reduce one pound in a week and can be followed until desired weight is achieved.
The diet can be made according to ones needs.
If you eat a serving of potato fries, don't think that you can reduce the calories gained from fries by simply eating some negative calorie celery.
