The only way to lose weight is to consume fewer calories than you burn. How you go about it is up to you, but it's the only way. And it always works. Gimmick diets do not work unless they follow this rule.

The idea is that some foods have net negative calories, because more energy is required to process them than what is obtained. Some indigestible fibres obviously fall into this category; they exercise your bowels, which takes energy. It's just a form of exercise, essentially. Negative calories aren't some magic fix to the problem of consuming too many positive calories. You aren't going to be able to ``consume'' enough negative calories to cancel out the consumption of hundreds of excess calories. To lose weight, you should eat at least a few hundred calories below the low end of the intake range on which you can maintain weight. Negative calories are not going to be large enough to take you there. Even if you do nothing all day but stuff yourself with indigestible fibre, the amount of work that your gut will perform won't be large. You're better off eating a normal quantity of fibre for digestive health, and doing some real exercise, or eating less.
