A low calorie weight loss regime

Rather obviously, the low-cal diet is based on the fact that if you want to reduce weight, it is essential to consume less calories than your body normally needs.

Definition of 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 a food type has higher calories, then it will provide your body with a larger amount of energy when your body burns it.

Low calorie foods include boiled potatoes, capsicum pepper, water melon, steaks, burgers and chilis, and skimmed milk.
