Dieting tips

A low calorie weight loss regime

In short, the low calorie diet states that if you are going to become thinner, the most important step is to eat fewer calories than your body normally needs.

What is a calorie?
The calorie is a unit for measuring food's ability to produce heat and energy. A calorie is the the energy required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at normal atmospheric pressure. If a food type has more calories, then it will turn into more energy to use when your body converts it.

Low-cal food types include brussels sprouts, cabbage, melon, steaks and burgers, and bamboo shoots.
