Losing weight

Low calorie diet

Rather obviously, the low calorie diet is based on the fact that if you want to diet successfully, then you have to take in fewer calories than you burn up.

So what is a calorie?
The calorie is the standard unit for energy measurement in dieting. The food calorie is the the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at atmospheric pressure. If a food type contains more calories, then it will gives you more energy to use when consumed.

Foods low in calories include cabbage, watercress, melon, steak and burger based meals, and eggs.

Ingredients And Procedures

1 lb Cooked Asparagus

1 oz Finely Ground Hazelnuts

2 tb Butter

2 ts Cider Vinegar

Salt And Pepper To Taste Wash asparagus under cold running water. Snap off lower end of each stalk with your fingers. Let the stalk break where it wants to, this will leave only the tender portion of the stalk. Young tender asparagus can be cooked in a steamer for 5-7 minutes, the more mature stalks for 7-10 minutes. Do not over cook asparagus, it will lose flavor and nutrients if over cooked. At the same time, place the hazelnuts and butter in a small heavy skillet. Heat until the butter melts and mix thoroughly. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour hazelnut butter over hot asparagus. Serve at once. From: Syd's Cookbook.
