Dieting tips

The low-cal diet

As most people know, the low-cal diet states that if you intend to lose weight, the most important step is to eat fewer calories than your body requires.

So what is a calorie?
A calorie is a unit of measurement for energy. A 'calorie' is the the amount of energy required to raise one cubic centimeter of water by one degree centigrade. If something has more calories, then it will gives you more energy to use when it is converted.

Low-cal food types include cauliflower, carrots, grapefruit, beef, and eggs.

It's great for lazee people like me. <grin> Terri, I understand. But this doesn't explain WHY you put your autoexec.bat and config.sys in another directory. I have a buncha subdirectories in my path statement, but the autoexec.bat and config.sys are still in the root directory of my boot drive... :) Salad?
