Ever
wish there were foods you could eat that didn't contain
any calories? Wish no longer. These foods don't contain a
single calorie and can be eaten guilt-free.
It's a
little known fact (or in most cases, wishful thinking) that
some foods can, in certain situations, go from being
fattening no-no's to being totally calorie-free simply by
mangling your perspective. Here's a list of those foods and
situations.
1. Anything sampled when preparing food - If you're
taste-testing, those tastes are calorie-free. If you're
cooking for someone else and aren't going to be having any
yourself, those tastes actually have negative calories and
can help you lose weight.

2.
Anything eaten off someone else's plate doesn't count. If you can
get it when they're not looking, that's negative calories again.
3. Food
"rescued" from the floor - When the "3 second
rule" is in effect (i.e. it's still good if it's only been on
the floor 3 seconds or less), that snack has zero calories. Plus, if
you have to race your dog to it and you win, you're allowed another
bite from the original undropped item for free.
4. Out
of necessity, food that is eaten on the day of the expiration date
has no calories. After all, we don't want that triple-chocolate
fudge cake to go to waist... I mean waste.
5.
Anything eaten on your birthday, a friend's birthday or a family
member's birthday has no calories. This includes family and friends
whom you haven't spoken to or mentioned in years.
6.
Foods that you've never tasted before are calorie free. If you don't
recognize it, eat it guilt-free. If you can't even pronounce the
name, that's negative calories.
7. If
you live in an Italian family, your fifth and sixth helpings are
calorie-free. Besides, "You're too skinny, you need to eat
more."
8. The
calories of any leftover foods will be added to the total of the day
you originally started eating them on. This means the calories from
the leftover pie you eat on Wednesday only count on Tuesday, the day
you originally started the pie. And who cares about yesterday?
9. If
you can eat it through a straw, it has no calories. For example, if
you can get a piece of spaghetti through a straw, you deserve it.
10.
Anything that contains the word "free" in it has to be
calorie-free because advertisers would never lie or try to sell you
a product that would make you fat. This principle also applies to
the words "lite" and "reduced."
11. The
last item or bite on any plate has no calories. For instance, the
last cookie? No calories. The last slice of pizza? No calories. The
last box of donuts? No calories.
If you put all of these calorie-free foods into your diet, you will
have great success in watching your waistline - it will be way out
in front of you where you can see it!
