I've heard the same thing... that it takes more calories to chew and digest the celery than it gives you since it's mostly water.

Yes, I heard that years ago, and was wondering if its just an urban myth.

Why are you asking us when you could be experimenting? You should go on a celery only diet. Figure out what your current calorie expenditures are, then eat that much in celery.

Let us know if you lose weight.

As for me it's a moot point cause you gotta have celery with peanut butter or hummus or dip or something.
