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.
