There's really no such thing as a negative calorie food. There are actually 16 or so calories per cup in celery. But, there's lots of fiber in it and lots of water as well, so it's a good option especially for combating hunger. I have heard of several people doing the diet and not counting their veggies at all with great success, and I've also heard of people eating some cucumber or celery for extra hunger. I would think that's not a great idea with things like tomato or onion, which has some sugar in it, but I'd doubt you would do too much of a dent if you eat extra celery.
