The low calorie diet

In simple terms, the low-cal diet is based on the fact that in order to get rid of some fat, then you have to eat fewer calories than you burn up.

What is a calorie?
The calorie is the standard unit for energy measurement in dieting. The 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 has more calories, then it will provide your body with more energy to use when it is converted.

Low-cal foods include cabbage, cucumbers, grapefruit, beef, and skimmed milk.
