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 or after 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 bacon 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!
