The Mystery of Celery

I have heard that you burn more calories eating celery than you ingest.

So, that being true, how many stalks of celery does one need to eat in order to disappear?

Here's the answer in theory providing that one doesn't die from starvation first and that they only eat celery.

According to reliable sources on the internt, 5 stalks per day = 23 calories.


5 stalks per day for one month = 30 X 5= 150 stalks.

150 stalks per month X 23 calories = 3450 calories

So one month is about 3450 calories or 1 pound.

At this rate per month it would take about 17 years to disappear.

17 X 12 =204

That can't be right...if I ate nothing for celery for a month I am pretty sure at least 20 lbs of me would disappear.....(or my left arm...)

Glad to be of service, Chris.
In my line of work I answer really important questions like that one everyday. :)
