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.

Transfer stuffed pepprs to a platter. Pour remaining liquid (about 8 tbsns) from the saucepan over the peppers. Serve hot with yoghurt and salad as a main course. From Turkish Cookery by Gulseren Ramazanoglu (Yoghurt is something made by the Turkish people and is also eaten in other Mid-East countries. I've tried it and liked it but haven't been able to duplicate. Plain American yogurt is not my idea of a good substitute.) Posted by Damita Green in Fidonet Intercook
