A low calorie weight loss regime

Rather obviously, the low calorie diet is based on the fact that if you intend to get rid of some fat, the most important step is to take in less calories than your body requires.

The calorie defined?
A calorie is a measurement of the energy provided by food. The '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 more calories, then it will provide your body with more energy to use when it is converted.

Examples of low calorie foods include cabbage, mushrooms, watermelon, beef, and white eggs.

Ingredients And Procedures

--------------------------------INGREDIENTS-------------------------------- 1 c Of clean snow;

->OR<- 1 Tray of ice cubes;

1/2 c Maple syrup;

---------------------------------EQUIPMENT--------------------------------- Pan or bowl Measuring cup Saucepan 4 small paper cups

Tablespoon How to Make: Fill a pan with snow. Be sure it is clean. Have all your ingredients ready before you bring in the snow, so it doesn't have time to melt. If there isn't any snow, make crushed ice. An easy way to do this is wrap a few cubes of ice at time in a kitchen towel and pound them with a heavy object, such as a rolling pin. Put the crushed in a bowl. Continue until all the cubes are crushed. Heat the maple syrup in the saucepan over low heat for about two minutes until it is warm. Remove it from the heat. Fill each paper cup with enough snow or ice to make a rounded top. Drop a tablespoon or more of maple syrup on top of the snow or ice. Note: You can use either pure maple syrup or maple-flavored syrup for this recipe. STORY: In the center of Canada's flag is a red maple leaf-a symbol of Canada's many maple trees. No wonder everyone likes to turn out in the early spring to help collect the sweet liquid from the sugar maples. The snow is still on the ground. The sap is gathered and boiled down into maple syrup. As a special treat, the hot syrup is poured over fresh snow. With cider and doughnuts, cups of sweet Maple Snow make festive refreshments at a sugaring-off party.
