The low calorie diet

As most people know, a low calorie weight loss regime depends on the fact that if you want to get rid of some fat, the most important step is to injest less calories than you use.

So what is a calorie?
The calorie is the unit used for measuring the amount of energy in food. 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 has more calories, then it will gives you more energy to use when your body burns it.

Low-cal foods include cauliflower, cucumbers, melon, steaks, burgers and chilis, and bamboo shoots.
