First, I should point out negative calorie food is somewhat of an oxy-moron. The food does not really have negative calories. Actually, the human body burns more calories digesting it than the food contains.
Here is a list of some of those foods. Eating them, or more of them; with or without other foods will increase metabolism naturally. This will result in weight loss.
It can also help to eat protein with these foods. Good protein will help control your appetite and increase your metabolism.
Here is the list:
Vegetables
broccoli, cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, celery, chicory, cress, cucumber, eggplant, fennel, gourd, leek, lettuce, marrow, peppers, radish, spinach, tomato, turnip.
Fruits
Apricot, blackberry, blackcurrant, cantaloupe, clementine, damson, grapefruit, guava, honeydew, lemon, mandarin, melon, orange, peach, plum, raspberry, rhubarb, strawberry, tangerine, watermelon.

So does it matter if they are cooked, like the carrots or should they be eaten raw?
It can be better from a fiber standpoint to eat them raw, but as long as they are not overcooked (mushy) they can retain all their other benefits cooked. (Especially steamed).
