I tried this for a while and it does work. I just couldn't stick with it and found I was better off counting calories and exercising.
Negative Calorie/Catabolic Diet link:

The following was taken from the above web site:
"The catabolic diet is based on the concept that a person can eat “catabolic” foods that actually have a negative calorie effect. These are foods that supposedly take a person more calories to digest them than the food itself actually contains. Simply put, they are foods that burn fat instead of creating it."
"The foods are categorized under Fruits, Vegetables and Meats. Under Fruits are apples, kumquats, apricots, strawberries, limes, tangerines, blackberries, nectarines, currents, peaches, watermelon, cantaloupe, mangoes, and about twenty other fruits. Listed as vegetables are asparagus, green beans, cucumbers, peas, string beans, dandelion greens, celery, dill pickles, beets, carrots, leaks, lettuce, mushrooms, and almost every other common vegetable. The meat list is very sparse because, “most meats are not on the catabolic food list because they are not catabolic.” However a dieter is allowed to eat sea bass, crabs, oysters, buffalo flounder, frog legs, cod steaks, mussels and terrapin."
