Losing weight

Low calorie diet

Rather obviously, a low calorie weight loss regime states that if you plan to lose weight, the most important step is to take in less calories than you need for exercise.

So what is a calorie?
A calorie is a unit of measurement for energy. The 'calorie' is the amount of heat required to raise 1 kilogram of water 1 degree centigrade. If a meal has more calories, then it will provide your body with more energy when your body burns it.

Examples of low calorie foods include cauliflower, mushrooms, water melon, steak and burger based meals, and skimmed milk.
