Just made this and I just love it! Very filling. I am excited to see if I actually lose weight...

Just happened upon this looking for something. Looks like a nice filling soup but I must dispel the idea about negative calories. Low calorie, yes. No calorie, no. And negative calorie...just no no no. #mythbuster

Been making this for years and while it's great just wanted to reinforce what Neily said. There's no such thing as negative calorie foods. By its description, you would starve to death faster if you ate this than if you ate nothing at all. Definitely not the case. Thanks for spreading the recipe though!

All foods have calories. The concept negative calorie foods means that the calorie content is SO LOW that the energy the body uses to process and digest the soup is greater than the calorie content of the food absorbed. Thus you have no free calories, they are all used up. The very unit of calorie is the energy required to turn a piece of food into dust by burning it. You are always ahead of the game in calorie counting because some of the food is excreted in the form of waste and not "burned up". Several years ago I did some research into negative calorie foods and developed some recipes using them and low calorie foods. To date I have lost 110 pounds! This concept does work and although this recipe has some different ingredients (i.e. Bloody Mary mix for diced tomatoes) it is a good recipe. There are oodles of informative articles that have come out in recent years about negative calorie foods. Check them out.
