Low calorie diet

In a nutshell, a low calorie weight loss regime states that if you want to reduce weight, the important thing to injest less calories than you actually use.

What is a calorie?
The calorie is the standard unit for energy measurement in dieting. A food calorie is the the energy required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at normal atmospheric pressure. If something has higher calories, then it will turn into more energy to use when your body burns it.

Examples of low calorie foods include brussels sprouts, mushrooms, melon, beef based meals, and bamboo shoots.
