Diet types

Low calorie diet

In short, the low-cal diet says that if you intend to become thinner, the important thing to take in 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 amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree celsius. If a food contains more calories, then it will turn into more energy when your body digests it.

Low-cal foods include bok choy, swede, guava, burgers and steaks, and eggs.

Ingredients And Procedures

3 tb Olive oil

1 Clove garlic, mashed

1 1/2 c Chopped onion

1 Large apple, peeled/chopped

1 tb Curry powder

2 c Pumpkin puree

4 c Chicken broth

1 c Milk (I use 2% milk)

Salt and pepper Heat olive oil in 6 qt. saucepan. Saute garlic, onion and apple. Stir in curry powder and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add pumpkin and broth, bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer about 30 minutes. Puree all in blender or food processor. Return to saucepan and stir in milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serves 6-8. I haven't tried it yet, but I'll bet a chopped carrot could be added also.
