I love celery. I would take a piece, cut off the top and bottom, and either put peanut butter & raisins on it, get some ranch dressing to dip it in, or just pour some salt on top of it and eat it.
The only thing I don't like is the fibers getting caught in my teeth.

If there were a woman made entirely of celery, I'd make sweet passionate love to her.
Then devour her.

Dip some cardboard in some chili, you got a meal fit for a king! A homeless king that swiped a can of chili. Those homeless kings really got it made. Brings a whole new meaning to the Dusty Rhodes quote "I whined and dined with Kings and Queens. And slept in alleys dining on pork and beans".

You ever eat soup? Then you eat celery. Basically every stock ever made, and most non-stock broths, require celery in a 1:1:2 ration with carrots and onion. Celery salt for Chicago dog? Yes. Celery root? Bad ass stuff. Plain celery? for wings: carries the dressing to clear the palate of excess capsaicin so you can, you know, taste the things after bite one. Ants on a log are awesome. Finely diced celery and apple, along with craisins and dijon mayo, make a damn fine tuna salad. And if you hate the fibers in your teeth, you can easily peel it with a vegetable peeler.
So to all you celery nay-sayers, I say humbug.

If I strip away all of the technical stuff, the correct explanations taken out of context that confuses people, I see some major problems with this theory. Thing is, is There is no such thing as a "negative" calorie, per se. A normal stick of celery will have a certain amount of calories. The theory is that although it has calories, you're body will have a difficult time digesting the celery and will use a certain amount of calories, to the point where the overall effect at the end results in more calories burned than eaten, It's not about burning calories from chewing the food. However, all though he gave a load of information of how stuff works, he seems to be one of those guys who forgets that how dosen't justify why, and he left that info out, and could have wrapped the article up in 2 paragraphs instead of 5. The thing is, is that for most people your food stays in your stomach for 2-4 hours, and then stays in your small intestine for 12. By the time your food passes your stomach, the calories consumed have been taken. Now, this is different for everyone, but the calories in certain foods are around the same. So, It depends on how much you're eating, and what type of metabolism you have. If you eat 1,000 calories of celery, your body isn't going to use 1,000 calories to digest the food. Whatever your stomach can get after 3 hours, than that's it and it's time to pass it along. However, If your metabolism burns 4,000 calories a day, and you eat exactly 4,000 in a day, by eating every 2 hours in small meals like everyone should, and you eat a piece of celery that's about 20 calories, it is entirely possible that your body will burn 30 calories to digest the celery, when it would have normally used 15 calories to digest most foods, resulting in a 10 calorie deficit. This person's digestive system may use no more than 30 calories to digest foods, sinse it has no more than 4 hours to do so. So I understand what doc is saying, but, the problem I have with dismissing it is that no 2 people are the same when it comes to digesting calories, but 2 pieces of celery basically are the same. So, i'd say that the answer might be that it works for some people and it dosen't work for others. No one IMO would burn more than 150-200 calories per day with the celery though. Also, this negative calorie effect, for some people, works with many foods, even junk foods, where, just by eating the food, their body burns more calories digesting it than the calories are even worth, just so happens that their body didn't have enough time to digest all of it withing 4 hours in the stomach and you end up with some extra calories to store as fat. But then they'll just burn that as ebnergy too. Why do you think there are people who can't gain weight no matter what? So even cake can have negative calories for some people, but be fat poison for others, a perfect example of what I'm talking about. the calories consumed/burned thing is more about the person than it is about the food. Celert, cucumbers, pickles, ect.. are foods that are possible to help you burn an extra 100 calories or so a day if they're compatible with you to do so.

I like celery and actually it does contain nutrients such as fiber, so it is food.

Would you eat the Moon if it were made of ribs? I know I would. I'd slather the moon in spicy German mustard, and possibly season it with a generous helping of celery salt.

Celery has sedatives in it that can make you sleepy. Not only that, but it's a tasty, healthy treat!
