All food has calories, but these are foods that take up more caloric energy to digest than the calories that are in them. Your body has to expend energy in order to digest and absorb foods, in fact, 10% of your daily caloric intake is used to process foods in your body.
So these "negative" calorie foods are foods that take more calories to digest than actual calories in the item of food. Here is a brief list of negative calorie foods. You can basically eat these items in any quantity you want during the day... remember though, this is for the raw version of the food. Adding butter, etc., to any of these things will eliminate the negative calorie effect.
Vegetables: asparagus, beets, broccoli, cabbage (green), carrots, cauliflower, celeriac (celery root), celery chicory, Chile peppers (hot), cucumbers, dandelion,
endive, garden cress, garlic, green beans, lamb's lettuce, lettuce, onion, papaya, radishes, spinach, turnips, zucchini

Vitamin C also works on cholesterol deposits. Vitamin C can help burn out the cholesterol, making it difficult for cholesterol deposits to form in blood vessels.
Soybeans

Apples, Berries, Fresh Fruit
Apples contain a chemical called pectin. This chemical is found in most berries and fresh fruit. The pectin is in the cell walls of most fruits, especially apples. Pectin limits the amount of fat your cells can absorb. Pectin, once in your system, has a water binding property, it absorbs watery substances, and these watery substances in turn bombard the cells and make it release fat deposits. Add applesauce (it's loaded with pectin), apples, fresh fruit and berries, to your diet and let the power of pectin pulverize the fat that accumulates on your cells.
