A low calorie weight loss regime

Put simply, the low calorie diet is based on the fact that if you plan to get rid of some fat, the most important step is to consume less calories than your body normally needs.

Definition of a calorie?
The calorie is the unit used for measuring the amount of energy in food. A food calorie is the the amount of energy required to raise one cubic centimeter of water by one degree centigrade. If a meal has higher calories, then it will gives you more energy to use when your body converts it.

Low-cal foods include cauliflower, tomatoes, apricot, meals containing beef, and low-fat cheese.
