Dieting tips

The low calorie diet

Rather obviously, the low calorie diet depends on the fact that if you plan to reduce weight, it is essential to consume less calories than you need.

Definition of a calorie?
A calorie is a unit of measurement for 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 has more calories, then it will turn into a larger amount of energy when it is eaten.

Low calorie foods include bok choy, tomato, water melon, beef, and eggs.
