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.

Ingredients And Procedures

Flour; for dredging 1 8 oz bone-in loin pork chop

2 ts Vegetable oil

Salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 ts Vegetable oil

1 sm Granny Smith; sliced

- or other tart apple 1 sm Onion; peeled and sliced

2 c Coarsely shredded cabbage

1/3 c Madeira

1/2 c Apple cider

2 tb Sour cream (optional)

DREDGE THE PORK CHOP IN FLOUR, patting to remove any excess flour. In a small deep saute pan with a tight-fitting lid, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the pork chop and saute it until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove the chop to a plate and season it with salt and pepper. Discard the oil, add 2 more teaspoons of oil and heat until hot. Add the apple slices, onion and cabbage and saute them until they start to wilt, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the Madeira and cider. Bring the mixture to a boil and scrape up any browned cooking bits. Reduce the heat so the liquid just simmers. Add the pork, cover the pan and let the dish cook until the pork is tender, 40 to 60 minutes. Stir in the optional sour cream, if desired, season with salt

and pepper and serve.
