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.

1/2poundpork, ground
2eachgreen onion, finely chopped
1smegg
  ---SEASONING---
1/2teaspoonsalt
1teaspoonsugar
1tablespoonsesame oil
2teaspoonsoy sauce, thin
1teaspoonoyster sauce
1tablespooncornstarch

Directions:

Shell, devein, wash, and drain prawns. Dice into bits.

Boil mushrooms in water for 10 minutes, rinse, squeeze dry, cut off and discard stems; then chop into very small pieces.

Combine the pork, mushrooms, prawns, and onion. Put mixture on chopping board and chop 10 to 15 strokes with cleaver. (Use a sharp knife if you don't have a cleaver.) Texture, when you're finished, should be slightly finer than hamburger.

Add "seasoning" and the egg to the pork mixture. Mix well.

To make dumpling, place 1 Tb filling in the center of a dumpling skin. Then bring all sides of the skin up to cover the meat as much as possible, without closing. The top of the dumpling is left open.

Cook dumplings by steaming for 30 minutes. Use as many as you need, with the rest, cool, wrap, freeze. Reheat after thawing by steaming 10 minutes.

Serve with soy sauce, hot sauce, or mustard.

* Dumpling skins are similar to won ton skins, except that they are round and slightly thinner. You may substitute won ton skins by merely cutting off the corners to round off the skin.
