The low calorie diet
Put simply, low calorie diet says that if you want to get rid of some fat, it is essential to consume less calories than your body requires. So what is a calorie? The calorie is the standard unit for energy measurement in dieting. The 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 a food has more calories, then it will provide your body with a larger amount of energy when eaten. Low calorie food types include lettuce, capsicum pepper, water melon, beef, and skimmed milk. Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes eschalot, chives and green onion) The onion and garlic family is high in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe may be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Even though there is very little scientific evidence at hand, allyl sulfides are also thought to reduce symptoms with antiinflammatory effect, high blood pressure and diabetes. Foods containing allyl sulfides are also good for weight loss, so are ideal for including in your weight loss program. |
